Washington D.C.

Corporate scavenger hunt in Washington D.C.

Teams race the same route through Washington D.C., solving clues at every stop and watching the leaderboard. The 20 routes below can all be booked today; pick one and it goes into the booking box.

The most reviewed route in Washington DC is the Death in the Shadows murder mystery in Georgetown, which starts at Pinstripes and takes 90 minutes over 2 km. It is the safe first choice and the right one for a competitive team. Ghost Hunt in Washington D.C., the evening route, starts a short walk away, so a big group can split between the two after work and meet up when both are done. For a lunch break or a first outing, The T.Rex that Vanished is shorter, at 70 minutes and 2.7 km from the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. A second murder case runs in Dupont Circle.

How the afternoon runs

There is nothing to organise on the day in Washington D.C.: the app runs the game, keeps the score and shows who won.

  1. Meet at the start point

    Every route starts at a set place, shown on its page. No venue to book.

  2. Split into teams in the app

    Everyone opens the free Questo app and the teams are chosen there.

  3. 60 to 90 minutes of play

    Teams race the same route, team against team, solving clues at real places.

  4. Finish together

    Everyone ends at the same place and sees the leaderboard: one team takes the win.

What organisers ask us

  • How colleagues join

    Everyone installs the free Questo app on iOS or Android. The teams are chosen in the app.

  • Staggered starts

    Teams can start a few minutes apart, so they do not follow each other, and still finish at the same place.

  • If it rains

    Access never expires. Play another day.

  • Languages

    Each route has its own languages. Check them on the route page before you book.

  • Pace and accessibility

    You set the pace and can pause the game at any time.

  • Bring a charged phone

    The game runs on the phone for the whole route, so start with a full battery.

creating a team on the app was terrible and didn’t work
MaryThe Oz Escape in Washington D.C.★★★★★
It made me get into the Christmas spirit, although Christmas is still a few months away
KatalinChristmas Operation: Sleigh Down in Washington D.C.★★★★★
It was very fun, especially the puzzle at the Navy memorial! It might be a good idea to proofread the text throughout the adventure, because there were several instances of repeated words, incorrectly capitalized words, and misplaced apostrophes.
KKThe T.Rex that Vanished from Washington: a KLAW vs NICK Mission★★★★★

fsutobyDupont Circle, Washington D.C. Detective Mystery: Infiltrate a Secret Society!★★★★★
I am so proud, I now have Library of Congress library card which you will need to start your journey. Once we had our cards we went through the tunnels to the main reading room entrance. I Don’t think we were supposed to be in the tunnels. We made about halfway through when our lunch reservations called. The rout is great fun. the puzzles were mostly multiple choice questions. the ghost stories were grea fun.
