How it works

The Game

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.

  • Live Scoring and Judges

    We watch. We judge. We award bonus points based on creativity and effort. Oh... and we send teams funny messages based on what we see happening.

  • Video Crew

    Add a team of videographers to tail around your participants. The mix of videos from the players with those from the crew makes for a great experience.

  • Live Stations

    Find our hosts at a series of stations and discover what challenge awaits your team.

  • Live Actors

    Why not take it a step further and have our cosplay style actors / actresses placed at special locations for your teams to track down? 

  • Personalized Challenges

    Every challenge can be personalized. Get executives to introduce challenges with a video, integrate vision and mission statements, and test on company or group trivia from the past.

  • Highlight Reels

    At your activity, the highlight reel is always a hand-crafted hit and goes very well with an award ceremony or as a fun memento.

  • Custom Branding

    Your game can be fully branded for a company, individual or theme. Full branding means not just a logo, but terms, icons, custom areas and more.

  • Custom Stickers

    Branded, personalized or themed stickers can be created for you. Get players interacting and producing photos of themselves with your logo, mascot or otherwise special sticker.

  • Library

    Unlock our library of challenges from past successful implementations. Search the library by tag, tap a button and it is now part of your game.

  • Integrations

    You use a new innovative ticketing system and need it to work with us right? We can tie our platform to other systems.

  • Program Development

    Engage our game makers to understand your objectives and then work backwards to build the perfect game for your audience.

  • Custom Reporting

    Analytics on your mind? Beyond our standard reporting we can work to develop custom reports based on your goals and desired outcomes.

  • Custom Boxes

    Everyone wants to know what's in the box... but why ruin the surprise? We are happy to customize boxes for large events and a variety of themes.

  • Team Elimination

    Teams can be progressively eliminated up to the final leg or you can keep everyone competing right to the end.

  • Roadblocks

    Challenges can be locked until completion of a preceding roadblock. Set rules around who can complete the challenge or let the team pick.

  • Detours

    Facilitators 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.

  • Intersections

    Teams must work with other teams to complete certain challenges. The more you want people to mix, the more intersections to list.

  • Route Markers

    Route markers help teams navigate the race and can be pre-placed physical signs with live operators or QR codes for check-in. They can also be purely virtual, determined and completed by GPS location.

  • Clues

    Have your teams solve riddles, or ask and be granted hints in exchange for penalties.

  • Fast Forward

    Judges can message teams during the game to grant them passes to skip a challenge or a set of challenges.

  • Yields and U-Turns

    Teams 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.

  • Switchbacks

    Our team can give you challenges from our library of the best from the past. Throw some sure fire hits into the mix.

FAQs

  • How Long is the Game and What Are the Physical Requirements?

    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.

  • 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.

  • Will We Have Game Day Support?

    If you are booking a premier event you’ll have access to your live virtual events team, though frankly not a lot of support is required once you get started.

  • 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.
