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 love reading clues and spotting suspects. One pass covers the whole family on one phone.
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.
