Think you have what it takes to be a detective?
Then this is the game for you!
Take a break from technology and solve a mystery the old fashioned way… with a keen mind, a little legwork and a bit of ingenuity. Gather your wits and your friends to solve a mystery like no other. Take a walking* tour of one of our downtown locations and solve puzzles, gather clues and crack the case. Will your team be the first to finish?
Downtown Detectives is a team-based, outdoor mystery challenge with aspects of an escape room and a scavenger hunt, but better! Typical scavenger hunts are usually simple and only require locating specific items. In our game, there’s an additional layer… after you find the right location, you must interact with your environment to solve a piece of the mystery. Each puzzle is unique and was custom designed for every site.
