Detroit's most reviewed route is Death in the Shadows in the Cultural Center, a murder mystery from the Detroit Institute of the Arts of 90 minutes over 2.7 km. It is the safe first choice and a good test for a competitive team. For after work, the Ghost Hunt in Detroit starts close by, so a big group can split between the two and meet up after. A team that wants a second outing has two more detective games: Infiltrate a Secret Society from the Charles H. Wright Museum, and the Riverwalk murder mystery from the Milliken State Park Lighthouse.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 from 148 ratings on the routes in Detroit.
We enjoyed the experience! We would have loved it more if the clues and puzzles were located at the locations we had to walk to. The puzzles that included the buildings or surroundings were our favorites. it allowed us to work as a group without starring at phones the entire time. we also came with a 7 year old, 3 year old and 2 year old. they were excited for wizard of oz. it would have been cool for them if there were characters at each checkpoint to provide the clue or a hint or something. other than that, we loved it!
We loved it. And we loved all the cool places you took us to. In that subdivision was beautiful. All the beautiful homes. We didn't even know half the museums were there that you took us to. Verykool
Very fun detective game interactive and got to see spots of the city that I've never seen before did it with my wife we had a blast highly recommend
This was really fun! Learned some really fun facts about my city and most importantly I got my 5,000 + steps in
It was awesome. We loved it. First time visiting from GA.
That was a great adventure on a nice cool evening. I definitely got to see some new places and art I've never seen in the city. Can't wait for our next mission.
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 Detroit 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 Detroit 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 Detroit to see the leaderboard together. You set the pace and can pause.
Each route in Detroit 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 Detroit 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 Detroit or paying by bank transfer, send the quote form on this page: a person from our team replies by email.
