How it works
Your City is our Gameboard!
The typical experience is conducted as a city exploration. Teams will have 2 hours to race around earning points by tracking down locations and performing challenges. Races can cover less ground, or more, but most of our races have teams exploring a neighborhood, city or leading them to another big event.

Game Day Services
When you combine our event team with your hi-tech adventures, you get the best of both worlds. This is just some of what you can expect:
A Big Boost Of Creativity
Our team awards bonus points and sends out personalized messages as submissions roll in, promoting creativity and engagement, because everyone loves bonus points.
Suspense
With 30 minutes left in your game and competition at full peak, we pull the rug out and hide the leaderboard. Why? To make the winner’s ceremony that much more exciting.
Custom Video
There’s no better way to wrap-up your game than with a custom highlight reel video, featuring the best of the best moments from your adventure.
Live Support
Your game team can also be available via in-app chat, WhatsApp or Zoom for any in-game questions - which are rare - but just for peace of mind.
Epic Video Wrap-up
When the time runs out, the experience is far from over!
Our mission is to connect people through epic shared game experiences - building stronger teams and connections around the world. We do this by creating an epic video wrap-up that showcases all of the submissions and memories created during the event.

Team EliminationTeams can be progressively eliminated up to the final leg or you can keep everyone competing right to the end.
RoadblocksChallenges can be locked until completion of a preceding roadblock. Set rules around who can complete the challenge or let the team pick.
DetoursFacilitators and judges can interject into the race. Individual teams can be targeted with special challenges live during the game. Skip a detour and judges can levy a penalty.
IntersectionsTeams must work with other teams to complete certain challenges. The more you want people to mix, the more intersections to list.
Route MarkersRoute markers can be pre-placed physical signs with live operators or QR codes for check-in. They can also be purely virtual, completed by GPS location.
CluesHave your teams solve riddles, or ask and be granted hints in exchange for penalties.
Fast ForwardJudges can message teams during the game to grant them passes to skip a challenge or a set of challenges.
Yields and U-TurnsTeams can be given time outs where they must wait before completing the next challenge. U-turns can be used to turn teams back and force them to re-complete a challenge.
SwitchbacksOur team can give you challenges from our library of the best from the past. Throw some sure fire hits into the mix.
FAQs
What are the Physical Requirements and How Long is the Game?
The game is played on foot and while each game / city is slightly different expect a casual walking pace for up to 2 hours with lots of stops to do challenges and explore the space. If you want a more ‘fast paced’ game please let us know and we’ll turn up the heat. Alternatively, we also have 60 and 90 minute versions available.
How Do We Make the Teams?
We will give you our $0.02 on the best way to make teams based on your outcomes, but more random than not is always a good idea.
Are We All Walking Around Together?
No. Our games are designed to scatter teams across the playing field and large groups can be assigned a variety of starting points.
Are the Start / Stop Locations Provided or Custom?
Both. We have a game ‘zone’ for you to play in with recommended stop / starts, but can accommodate custom start / stop locations in most cases. We can also customize any of our games to specific locations, but normally that’s not required.
Do We Use Your App To Play?
Yes. One person per team - or more if you wish - will download our proprietary app and join your private game. The app is loaded with fun and special features. However, if you have a strong phobia of downloading apps, many of our games can be played on a mobile web version (meaning no download). The app is configured per event but can include: challenges, maps, live streams (showing you other teams in action), live leaderboard, chat room (or trash talking zone), rewards and yes - more!
Will We Have Game Day Support and a Host?
If you are booking a premier event you’ll have access to our live virtual events team, though frankly not a lot of support is required once you get started. We have 3 tiers of events - but every game comes with a game producer who sets you up for success. So whether you prefer to run your own show, want our virtual team conducting things or even an in person host - just let us know!
What is the Booking Process?
Once you are ready to book, you’ll tell us the basics (e.g. which game, location, date, approx. headcount, etc.) and we’ll get you a contract, a deposit invoice and a game producer.
Your game producer will make sure you have a great event and will handle any customization requests, hosts etc. You are in good hands.
What if We Don’t Know How Many People Will Be Playing?
No problem! We will only invoice you for up to 90% of your headcount ensuring you have some wiggle room - but you don’t need to give us those numbers right away either.
What about Rain & Inclement Weather?
Did we mention you're in good hands? While some of the most epic games have happened when teams battle a few elements, you are able to rebook your game for a future date at no additional cost. We also have ‘indoor’ games in many cities in case there is no future date for you.
