Frequently Asked Questions

At the start point, you will meet the Game Master, who will give you the game, which consists of a bag containing all the things you need – old books, locked boxes, and other mysterious goodies. The game is laid out in an ancient book. Follow the instructions and use the props to solve puzzles. Each stop on the adventure will unlock one of five locks needed to solve the mystery. Then it’s time for congratulations and prizes!

Very – but don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s boring. History is stories, and we’ve found the best stories in the cities where we operate. Through play and puzzles and fun, you will learn about some of the city’s most interesting and shadowy figures. It’s all been painstakingly researched. Honestly, we wish we weren’t so picky about historical accuracy. It would’ve made our jobs much easier!

The price includes one a two hour adventure through the city. The game set is in a bag and includes all the maps, books, locks and treasure box you need to solve the mystery.

In most cities, we also have special packages for team building groups!

No, you only play with who you bring! You will never be mixed with strangers. We find it’s only fun when you play with people that you can yell at when they’re doing something wrong!

Yes, every game has a hints system built in and you will always be able to reach a real person to assist with whatever you need.  For online games, the Game Master is always on hand as a moderator.

Of course! The games are made for adults, but are a very fun thing to do with kids or teenagers too. Kids ages 6 and older can play when accompanied by an adult. 

All of our games take about 2 hours from start to finish.

More talented teams (that means you!) will probably be done in approximately 90 minutes. If you prefer to enjoy the adventure and explore more on the way, that is also fine. The only limit is our opening hours.

All of our games are about 3 km or 1.8 miles at a leisurely pace.

In theory, there is no limit! The game is played in teams of 2-6 players. We split larger groups into competing teams to add an extra layer of fun and challenge. We can host groups of hundreds of players at once. It’s great for team building!

For groups of up to 20 players, we will refund any booking 100% if you decide to cancel up to 48 hours before the start time. For groups of more than 20 players, you will receive a full refund if you cancel up to 7 days before the event.

It’s an adventure! The game itself is relatively waterproof. We recommend bringing umbrellas or ponchos (they might look silly, but they’re pretty useful!) Of course, if the weather is particularly horrible we won’t force you to play in the rain and we’ll happily allow you to reschedule for another day/time.

We’ve managed to find the perfect balance between challenge and fun (and it was no mean feat!). The game is always winnable – it doesn’t require advance knowledge or an aptitude for riddles or any special skills. If you can read and you can explore, you’ll do fine!

Oh, yes. Very. Don’t believe us? Check out some rave reviews!
