What to expect
You'll receive app access before starting, which directs you between checkpoints scattered through the city. At each stop, puzzles demand close attention to your surroundings—read plaques, count architectural details, decode written clues. Solve them correctly and the app unlocks the next location. Walking routes vary depending on solutions, so two teams rarely follow the same path. Expect roughly 1.5–2 kilometres of walking at a steady pace, with thinking time at each puzzle site.
Good to know
Bring a fully charged smartphone; the app runs continuously throughout. No food or drink stops are included, though you'll pass cafés. Prams and wheelchairs are accommodated on all routes. The game suits all fitness levels—it's puzzle-paced, not rushed.
