In Chicago, the safe first choice is the Eastside Chicago Art Heist, the most reviewed route, which starts at The Art Institute of Chicago and takes 95 minutes over 3.4 km. For a lunch break or a first outing, Quest for the Dragon Kings in Chinatown is shorter, at 63 minutes and 2.8 km from Chinatown Square Plaza. A competitive team should take the Death in the Shadows murder mystery in Lincoln Park, from the DePaul University School of Music. After work, Ghosts of Chicago leaves from the Chicago History Museum and takes 80 minutes. A big group can split between it and Ghost Hunt in Chicago, which starts a short walk away, and meet up after.

Rated 4.6 out of 5 from 638 ratings on the routes in Chicago.
This was really awesome. We enjoyed ourselves. It was fun and it gave us great exercise and it was nice to get the opportunity to solve some things together and work together.
Great experience, thanks. Would be helpful to retract tab to see map better, to show my location on the map, and to skip through a table of contents.
Great story telling, beautiful parks, quiet areas, fun clues.
This was a lot of fun with some history of Chicago. Our teenagers (17 and 16) enjoyed it too!
it was great to learn more about our neighborhood! very cute, simple but fun.
dommage que le parc à côté du musée était fermé pour les questions 1 et 14
6 phones is the smallest team booking, and you pay per phone, not per person. The first five phones cost the same as the route's 5-phone pass, and each phone after that costs half the single price, so the price per phone drops as the team grows. The booking box on this page shows the total in your currency.
6 to 40 phones fit in one payment, and a team of 3 or 4 can share one phone, so a group larger than 40 people can still play. Everyone on their own phone works best. For more than 40 phones, or several routes at once, send the quote form and a person from our team replies by email.
In the app: everyone joins in the free Questo app and the teams are chosen there. Teams play the same route in Chicago against each other and see the leaderboard at the end. A team can share one phone, but everyone on their own phone is recommended, so nobody watches over a shoulder.
A phone with the free Questo app, on iOS or Android, is all a player needs. After you book, everyone joins the game in the app, and the teams are chosen there. There is nothing to print and no venue to book: meet at the route's start point in Chicago with charged phones.
There are no fixed start times: teams start when they are ready, on the day you choose. Teams can start a few minutes apart, so they do not simply follow each other, and they still finish at the same place in Chicago to see the leaderboard together. You set the pace and can pause.
Each route in Chicago has its own languages, listed on its quest page, so check them before you book. When your team speaks more than one language, choose a route that offers the ones you need. For anything the page does not answer, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
Play another day: access never expires, so if it rains on the day, the booking is not lost. Nothing needs to be rebooked or moved; the team simply starts the game when the weather suits you. You set the pace and can pause, so a short shower is no reason to stop.
Buy the extra phones in one more payment if you need more later. The date is up to you, since access never expires and teams start when they are ready. For more than 40 phones in total, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
Yes, one invoice for the whole booking: after you pay by card, request it from the order page with your company name and VAT ID. You pay once for 6 to 40 phones, so there is one order and one invoice. To pay by bank transfer instead, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
There is no time limit: you set the pace and can pause the game whenever you need to. Routes in Chicago are walked outdoors, and each route page shows its length, so you can choose one that suits the whole team. For specific needs, send the quote form and a person replies by email.
40 phones is the most one online payment covers, and a team of 3 or 4 can share a phone. For more than 40 phones, several routes at once in Chicago or paying by bank transfer, send the quote form on this page: a person from our team replies by email.
