About This Game

Barcelona 1920s: The city is a hotbed of political activism, artistic revolution, and the smog of modernization. Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali, Antoni Guadi, Ernest Hemmingway, and many more poets, artists, and musicians fill the smokey, crowded bars. In this virtual team building event, competing teams take on the role of a detective, tasked with cleaning up the streets for the upcoming World Expo. You and your co-workers have been called out to investigate a strange crime… but there’s something different about this case. Who will figure it out first?
  

On the day of the event, you will be split into teams of 1-6 players. By sharing screens and discussing over video chat, each team will work together to explore the city, solve puzzles, and crack the case. With over 30 locations to explore, the whole city is at their fingertips. There are multiple ways to solve each puzzle and many pathways through the story. Each group will have a unique experience and there will be plenty to discuss after this online team game!

Teams will learn the real history of Barcelona in the 1920s as they chase down excentric aristics, investigate crimes, and question suspects. A jazz soundtrack adds a chilling mood to this energetic world. The competitive tension and demanding puzzles make this the perfect after-work activity, remote team event, or company conference entertainment.

At the beginning of the event, the Game Master will set the scene, tell the story and guide the teams through the game. Teams can ask the Game Master for hints, but too many hints will count against their final time. The game usually takes around 90 minutes to play, however it can be shortened as needed.

If that’s not your thing, no worries – check out our other online games The Monuments Mission and  A Death In The Red Light.
