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
Starting from LBC in Newark, this 2.6 km walk takes around 90 minutes on the trail of The Kingmakers, a centuries-old secret society, with codes to crack along the way. Friends, couples and families with teens who like escape rooms and murder mysteries can start whenever they choose. Anyone after a sit-down murder mystery dinner should look elsewhere, since the whole game is played outdoors on foot.

A little clarity before you go
Frequently asked questions
How long does the game take and how far do we walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes for a route of about 2.6 km on foot. You can pause and continue later, so there is time to stop for food or a break and pick up the case where you left off.
Where does the game start?
It begins at the first point on the route, listed as LBC. From there the app leads you from place to place on foot. It tells you where to go next, tells the story of each spot and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you.
Is it suitable for kids?
The conspiracy story and code-breaking puzzles are aimed at adults and teenagers, so families with teens are a good fit. Younger children may find a 90-minute plot built on decoding secrets hard to follow, though they can walk along while adults solve the clues.
Do we need to book a time, and can our group play together?
There is no time slot to book and no guide to meet, so you can start whenever suits you. One ticket covers your whole group, so friends or family can work through the clues together as one team.
Is it played outdoors, and what if it rains?
Yes, the whole game takes place outside as you walk between points, so dress for the weather. If rain sets in, you can pause the game and continue later on a drier day without losing your progress.
