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
Starting at LBC in Santa Clara, this route covers 2.3 km in around 90 minutes as you follow a whistleblower's leads to expose The Kingmakers, a secret society. Friends, couples and families with teens who love escape rooms will enjoy cracking codes outdoors at their own pace.

A little clarity before you go
Frequently asked questions
Is this like an escape room in Santa Clara?
It plays like an escape game, but outdoors. You walk through Santa Clara with your phone, solving puzzles set in the places in front of you to uncover a secret society's plans. There is no room to book and no time slot, so you can start whenever it suits you.
How long does the game take and how far do we walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes, covering about 2.3 km on foot. You can pause at any point and continue later, so you can stop for food or a break without losing your progress in the story.
Is it suitable for kids?
The story and puzzles are aimed at adults and teenagers, with a conspiracy plot about whistleblowers, deceit and code-breaking. Families with teens tend to enjoy it together, while younger children may find the story and the puzzles hard to follow.
Can our group play together on one ticket?
Yes. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated for the game. Friends, couples and families can play side by side, comparing ideas as they work through each puzzle along the route.
Do we need to book a time, and what if it rains?
No booking is needed: you start the game in the app whenever you are ready, with no group or guide to meet. The route is an outdoor walk, so on a wet day bring a jacket or pause and finish another time.
