Like an escape room. The room is Tampa.
Escape rooms are genuinely good. They also want a slot booked days ahead and a fixed hour. This is the version you can decide on at 7pm: outdoors, across 2 km of Tampa.

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.
