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
Friends, couples and families with teens who like escape rooms and puzzles get a detective game on foot lasting just under two hours, decoding clues about a secret society known as The Kingmakers along a 2.9 km loop from LBC. It suits locals looking for something to do today and visitors alike. If you want a live host, a seated murder mystery dinner, or cannot walk nearly 3 km, choose something else.

Frequently asked questions
Can we play this today in Dayton without booking a time?
Yes. There is no time slot to book, no group to join and no guide to wait for. You start whenever you like on your phone, and you can pause the game and continue later if you want a break.
Where does the quest start and finish?
It starts at LBC and is a loop, so you finish back where you began. The route covers about 2.9 km on foot, with the app leading you from place to place and setting puzzles along the way.
How long does it take?
Most players take just under two hours, around 110 minutes, including walking and solving the puzzles. Since you can pause and pick it up later, you do not have to finish it in one go.
How is this different from a murder mystery escape room?
Instead of a booked room, this is a self-guided outdoor game played on your phone. You follow a whistleblower's leads to expose a secret society, decoding clues in the streets around you rather than inside a set, and you start whenever suits you.
Can we play as a group, and is it suitable for teenagers?
Yes. One ticket covers the whole group playing together on the route. The conspiracy story and code-breaking puzzles are aimed at adults, groups of friends and families with teens, who can solve the clues together as they walk.
