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
Over roughly 2 km of Pasadena streets and about 90 minutes on foot, you follow a whistleblower's leads to expose The Kingmakers, a secret society that has manipulated world leaders, decoding clues in what you pass. Friends, couples and families with teens who enjoy escape rooms and murder mysteries will feel at home here. Anyone after a seated mystery dinner or a live guide should pick something else.

A little clarity before you go
Frequently asked questions
Is this a murder mystery game we can play in Pasadena?
It is a detective mystery rather than a murder case. A whistleblower's tip sends you after The Kingmakers, a secret society said to have steered world leaders for centuries, and you decode clues to expose them. There is no dinner or venue: you play outdoors on your phone as you walk.
How does the Questo city exploration game work?
The app on your phone leads you from place to place, tells the story of each spot and sets a puzzle based on what is in front of you. There is no guide and no group to join, so you move at your own pace and solve the mystery as you go.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Plan for around 90 minutes covering about 2 km on foot. You can pause whenever you like, stop for a coffee or a break, and continue the game later from where you left off.
Can we play as a group, and do we need to book a time?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated. There is no time slot to reserve: start any time that suits you, today or another day, and play together as a team.
Is it suitable for kids?
It is aimed at adults and families with teens. The story is a political conspiracy and the puzzles involve decoding secrets, so teenagers who like mysteries and escape rooms will get the most out of it, while younger children may find it hard to follow.
