Frequently asked questions
Is this like an escape room challenge in Indianapolis?
It shares the puzzle-solving, but you play it outdoors on your phone while walking between 12 locations in the city. You solve puzzles, complete dares and collect the Elements of Spirit to restart Santa's sleigh, with Santa, Sparky and Rudolph guiding and teasing you along the way.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes for about 2.2 km of walking across 12 locations, with stops that include the Indianapolis Fire Fighters Museum and Saint Mary Catholic Church. You can pause the game and continue later, so taking breaks along the way is easy.
Is it good for kids?
Yes, it is built for groups having fun, with jokey characters, dares and puzzles tied to a Christmas rescue story. Children who can comfortably walk about 2.2 km and enjoy puzzles will get the most from it, while younger kids will need adults to read and help solve.
Do we need to book a time, and can our group share one ticket?
