How it works

  1. Get your case file

    Buy one ticket per team. No app to download: it plays in your phone's browser.

  2. Start when you like

    Your ticket lasts 12 months. Once you start, you have 48 hours to finish, so stop for lunch whenever you like.

  3. Walk, look, solve

    The answers are on the streets around you, in carvings, dates and signs. Stuck? Ask for a hint.

  4. Race your friends

    Play at your own pace, or race up to four teams for a place on the leaderboard (races coming soon).

For ages 16+. Based on real cases, told respectfully. The routes include hills and uneven paving.
