About this quest
When a respected diplomatic team from the nation of Madripoor goes missing from an Asia/American Summit being hosted in Portland, Oregon, you, a dedicated Field Agent of the local FBI office, are summoned. But this isn't a solo gig! Teamed up with the enigmatic van-lifer Private Detective, Ken Clever, known for solving mysteries across the nation, you're set to navigate the vibrant streets of Portland, visiting both iconic and lesser-known sites and uncovering hidden clues.
Is this for you?
Who it's for
Puzzle fans, couples and friends who like escape rooms will spend about two hours tracking a missing diplomatic team with private eye Ken Clever, reading clues at stops from the Lan Su Chinese Garden to the Shanghai Tunnels. The 3.3 km route is outdoors and best in daylight, so anyone who wants a live guide to question or an indoor outing should pick something else.

Frequently asked questions
Is this something we can do in Portland today?
Yes. There is no time slot to book and no group to join, so you can start whenever you like. The route is open around the clock, though it works better during daylight hours, and you can pause and carry on later if plans change.
Is this like a mystery game or escape room?
It is a detective story played on your phone across downtown Portland and Old Town Chinatown. As an FBI field agent working with Ken Clever, you search for an abducted diplomatic team, and each stop sets a puzzle based on what is in front of you.
Where does it start and finish?
You start at The Armory and finish at the Arlene Schnitzer Concert Hall, so it does not return to the start. On the way you pass the Lovejoy Columns, the Japanese American Museum of Oregon, Lan Su Chinese Garden, the Shanghai Tunnels, Ground Kontrol Arcade and Director Park.
How long does it take and how far is the walk?
Most players take about two hours, including walking and solving the puzzles. The route covers 3.3 km on foot. You can pause along the way and continue later, so a coffee break between stops will not cost you your progress.
Can we play as a group?
Yes. One ticket covers the whole group playing together, so friends or a couple can follow the story and work on the puzzles side by side. No attraction tickets are needed for any of the stops on the route.
