Explore. Compete. Discover.

A real-world team scavenger hunt. Solve fresh clues every game, race to landmarks across the city, and out-score every other team — straight from your phone, no app download required.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Host picks a city

    Choose a city, a center point, and how big the play area should be. Set the difficulty, time limit, and number of checkpoints.

  2. Step 2

    Teams register and pay

    Play solo or bring a team of up to 6 — join with a 5-character game code and a $20 flat fee per team, no matter how many teammates you bring.

  3. Step 3

    Fresh clues, every time

    Shortly before kickoff, every checkpoint gets a brand-new riddle, photo fragment, cipher, or challenge tied to a real local landmark — no two games are ever the same.

  4. Step 4

    Race to solve and verify

    Solve the clue, navigate there on foot, bike, or by car, and check in with GPS and a photo to unlock the next one.

  5. Step 5

    Finish and compare scores

    The clock and the checkpoints both count — rush for the finish-order bonus or take your time to rack up points. Results and photos are ready the moment the game ends.

Six ways to get stumped

Every game mixes puzzle types based on difficulty, so no two checkpoints feel the same.

Text Riddle

Descriptive clues that get trickier at harder difficulties, full of wordplay and misdirection.

Photo Fragment

Identify a landmark from a cropped, zoomed-in detail.

GPS Hunt

No clue at all — just a hot-and-cold signal guiding you to an unnamed spot.

Observation Task

Answer a question you can only solve by actually standing there.

AR Object Find

Scan the area with your phone to capture a virtual object placed at the location.

Cipher / Decode

Crack an encoded message to reveal your next destination.

Simple, flat pricing

$20 / team

One flat fee per team, solo or up to 6 players — split it however you like.
