Who it's for
This 2.2 km loop starts and ends at John Marshall Elementary School, passing Wilson Mini Park and the Glendale Heritage Garden, with puzzles drawn from Baum's 1900 Oz novel over around 90 minutes. Friends who like escape rooms get to solve them on open streets, and Oz readers can go solo for the leaderboard. Anyone wanting a roof overhead and a host giving hints should book an indoor room instead.

Frequently asked questions
Is this an escape room in Glendale?
It is an outdoor escape-room-style game played on your phone through Glendale streets. You follow clues from location to location, passing places such as Wilson Mini Park and Glendale Heritage Garden, and crack puzzles to outsmart the witch. There is no room and no game master.
How does pricing work compared with a regular escape room?
Instead of paying per person for a fixed time slot, you pay once and one ticket covers your whole group playing together. Prices change, so check the current price on this page before you buy.
Where does the game start and finish?
It starts and ends at John Marshall Elementary School, so you finish back where you began. The route loops through the surrounding streets, including the corner of N Belmont St and E Wilson Ave, Wilson Mini Park and Glendale Heritage Garden.
How long does it take, and can we take a break?
Plan for around 90 minutes to walk about 2.2 km and solve the puzzles, though your pace will vary. You can pause the game at any point, stop for a snack, and continue later from where you left off.
Do we need to book a start time?
No. You start whenever you like, with no booking slot to fit around. The whole game is played outdoors, so check the weather and dress for it before you set off.
