CONFIDENTIAL / CASE BRIEFING
The story starts here.
Enter the covert world of "The President's Conspiracy," where you are tasked with exposing The Kingmakers—a secret society that has manipulated world leaders and orchestrated global events from the shadows for centuries. A whistleblower has come forward with alarming information, thrusting you into a high-stakes game of deceit.
Your mission: stay one step ahead, decode the secrets, and unravel the conspiracy before their next grand scheme is unleashed.
Will you be the one to expose the truth and save the world from an invisible tyranny?
Oh... and don't forget to say thank you...
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Starting at LBC in Arlington, this 2.3 km walk turns the streets into a case file: a whistleblower's tip, coded clues and a secret society called The Kingmakers to expose in about 90 minutes. Friends, couples and families with teens who enjoy escape rooms and murder mysteries will like setting their own pace. Anyone wanting a guide to quiz, or a quick stroll without puzzles, should pick something else.

A little clarity before you go
Frequently asked questions
Is this a murder mystery game we can play in Arlington?
It is a detective mystery rather than a murder case. After a whistleblower comes forward, you work to expose The Kingmakers, a secret society said to have shaped world events for centuries. You decode clues on your phone as you walk, with no host and no booked room.
Can this work as a fun scavenger hunt for our group in Arlington?
Yes. The app leads you from place to place and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you, so it plays much like a story-driven scavenger hunt. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated, and nobody needs to organise clues in advance.
How long does it take and how far will we walk?
Plan for around 90 minutes and a walk of about 2.3 km, though your pace depends on how quickly you crack the puzzles. You can pause at any point and continue later, so a coffee break or an early stop is no problem.
Is it suitable for children?
It is aimed at adults and families with teens. The story is a conspiracy thriller and the puzzles reward patience and attention to detail, so teenagers who enjoy escape rooms tend to fit well, while younger children may lose interest over a 90-minute walk.
Where does it start, and do we need to book a time?
The quest begins at Point 1, LBC, as shown in the app. There is no time slot to book and no group to meet: you start whenever suits you, play on your phone at your own pace and pause whenever you need to.
