CONFIDENTIAL / CASE BRIEFING
The story starts here.
Think you know your city's streets? Think again. You're being watched, and it just got very personal. Your sister is gone, and a sadistic mastermind named "Razor" is holding the blade.
You’re not just taking a walk; you’re a pawn in a twisted scavenger hunt where the stakes are life and death. To find her, you’ll have to save others first—strangers trapped in Razor’s deadly games. You’ll need to solve sinister puzzles and help a detective trace the killer's location.
The clock is ticking, and every wrong move brings your sister one step closer to her final cut. Do you have the nerves to outsmart a killer, or will you become just another notch on his blade?
Is this for you?
Who it's for
This Portland route covers about 2 km in around 90 minutes, turning city corners into the hunting ground of a killer called Razor as you race to save strangers and find your missing sister. Horror fans, friends after a dark night out, couples and escape-room regulars who want their puzzles outdoors get the most from it. Anyone uneasy with a sadistic serial-killer plot, or bringing children, should pick a gentler walk.
What makes this quest special
Highlights
A sadistic killer has people trapped around Portland and has given you the only clock that matters.
Crack story-driven puzzles under pressure, each one a setup you have to undo before the person inside it runs out of time.
A route of 2 km from SW Taylor St, running past Pioneer Courthouse Square, Oregon Historical Society, and Terry Schrunk Plaza, turns streets you thought you knew into a crime scene.
For horror and thriller fans, best with a friend who keeps their head, and not the gentlest way to spend an evening.
Just your phone, playable after dark for the full effect, and you decide when the next victim gets your attention.

Frequently asked questions
Is this quest suitable for kids or teenagers?
It is written for adults who enjoy horror and thrillers. The story follows a sadistic killer called Razor, a kidnapped sister and strangers trapped in deadly games, so it is not one for young children. Parents of older teens should judge whether a dark serial-killer plot suits them.
How long does it take and how far will we walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes, covering roughly 2 km on foot. Time varies with how quickly your group cracks the puzzles, and you can pause the game and carry on later if you need a break.
Do we need to book a time slot?
No. It is self-guided and played on your phone, so you can start whenever you like, day or evening. There is no guide and no group to meet, which makes it an easy choice if you are deciding on the spot what to do tonight.
Can our group play together on one ticket?
Yes, one ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated at checkout. Friends or couples can work through the puzzles together and help the detective trace the killer as a team.
Is it played outdoors, and what if it rains?
Yes, it is an outdoor game that leads you through real city streets, unlike an indoor escape room. Dress for the weather, and if the rain gets heavy you can pause and pick up the story later.
