Live-hosted, app-driven play
This is not a self-guided tour: you launch the hunt in an app and a remote, interactive live host steers the narrative, nudging teams through clues, challenges and virtual rewards as the absurd story unfolds.
A string of unexpected neighborhood oddities
Expect to visit a picturesque park to begin, a hidden treehouse, the tiniest park imaginable, an indie bookshop with a secret world, and even a safe rooftop vantage—each stop folded into the scavenger‑hunt narrative.
Playful, social, and family friendly
The experience is designed as a creative, social experiment where teams accessorize in real life, improvise goofy tasks and optionally interact with locals—an accessible way to live like a local and laugh through a shared story.
