★★★★★
great day to explore this part of Jax with fun clues and riddles to solve
★★★★
Cool to walk around and explore an area and follow the storyline. The surroundings being interactive was a huge plus!! It was advertised to start at 8 pm minimum, so walking through residential areas at night time was kinda weird
★★★★
this was really fun for me and my girlfriend on a Tuesday evening! the history cards were all the same, we wished they were different but maybe it's a glitch. otherwise a really nice way to spend an evening outside exploring San Marco
★★★★
real fun! would like to see more real-world puzzles on the trail. recommend to go in evening.
Gather your party
Who's playing tonight?
One pass unlocks the whole group’s phones: the Duo covers 2, the Fellowship 5. From $6.00 per person, with no booking and no set time.
Two phones, two versions of the truth. Argue about the prime suspect over drinks afterwards.
A team of detectives, one accusation, live rankings. Cheaper than the escape room you couldn’t get a slot for, and the kids usually crack the puzzles faster than the adults.
