Veel Gestelde Vragen
What’s the story in this Oz quest?
You team up with a ragtag crew of misfits to outsmart the witch using an original Oz storyline inspired by Baum’s 1900 novel. There are puzzles, hidden facts, and role-play moments as you travel through D.C. trying to save Oz.
Is this good for couples wanting something romantic + fun?
Yes. Walking through historic Georgetown, solving whimsical puzzles together, maybe catching sunset light near the canal, then finishing with a bite or dessert at Pinstripes—it makes for a date night that isn’t just dinner + movie.
Do families with teens/older kids enjoy this?
Definitely. The puzzles are immersive but not scary. Teens who like stories, mystery, and exploring will find lots to love. There’s enough walking + stops so you can pause anytime.
Is it safe & okay to play in the evening?
Yes. The route travels through Georgetown, a well-lit, popular area. Evening adds atmosphere—canal lights, quieter streets, mood—without sacrificing safety. Just bring comfortable shoes.
Will locals see D.C. differently with this game?
For sure. The quest highlights lesser-known corners, hidden alleys, fun facts about Oz lore + D.C., and views you might normally speed past. It lets locals rediscover familiar streets with fresh eyes.
What makes this different from a normal historic walking tour of D.C.?
Because you’re not just listening or looking—you’re in the story. You solve puzzles, unlock songs (Oz-themed), compete or just explore, interact with fictional misfits, role-play a bit. Landmarks become game pieces.
