Frequently asked questions
No jump scares and no actors chasing you. It's a detective story — think clever puzzles and dark plot twists, not horror. If you want something genuinely spooky, try a ghost tour instead.
Yes. The stories are mystery-thriller, not gory, and the puzzles suit ages ~10 and up with an adult. Younger detectives often enjoy reading clues and spotting suspects. Choose Duo for 2 devices or Fellowship for up to 5 devices.
Most cases take 1–2 hours and cover 2–3 km on foot. There's no timer — pause anytime for food, drinks, or to argue about who did it, then pick up exactly where you left off.
A basic mobile connection keeps the story, clues and (optional) live leaderboard in sync. Solo play works fine at your own pace even on a weak signal — you just won't see other teams update live.
Your case never expires, so you can start on a clear day, or duck under an awning and keep solving. Many players pause for a coffee when the weather turns and resume when it clears. No booking to reschedule.
