Istanbul : Le Syndicat, Turquie

You found the activity in Istanbul, so you get the credit. Whether anyone trusts you afterwards is a separate matter. In plain terms: a 2.5-hour team spy game on foot, played on your phones. The first Hippodrome of Constantinople was built before the city became an imperial capital. Along the way, Istanbul shows you a slice of its history and its cultural side. No guide means no one to impress and no one to blame. Just your crew and 2.5 hours of increasingly bold decisions. Puzzle experience is optional. Every mission goes better with a brave volunteer, and somebody will volunteer the wrong person. There may be a double agent on your team. There may not. No app, no guide, no headset. About 2.5 hours and 1.6 km, with 4 stops that stay secret until you earn them. You head home with the photos, the in-jokes, and conclusive proof of whose poker face needs work. Who it's for: - Friends, couples and families with teens: finally, a day out with more to talk about than where to eat. - Solo travelers: book just for you and play Solo Mode, the version of the game made for one player. Nobody can outvote you. - Private groups: bachelor and bachelorette parties, girls' weekends, boys' trips, wedding parties, work teams and active over-55s. Pick the day; we will handle the intrigue. Book a private game for 1 to 8 players on a date you choose; a team of one works too. Teams are up to 8 players. A bigger booking plays as several teams of up to 8, formed at the meeting point. What to expect Turn up at Sultanahmet Meydanı by your departure time. Meet at the German Fountain. Your mission starts on your phones there and leads your team to 4 stops over about 1.6 km on foot, finishing at the last stop about 2.5 hours later. Only the meeting point is shared in advance; the rest is revealed as you play. - At Hippodrome of Constantinople, open your quest link and tap I'M HERE (it unlocks 15 minutes before the start). You play short solo warm-up missions there while everyone arrives, and teams form 30 minutes after the start time. A private group can start together as soon as everyone has checked in - Running late? Come anyway. Teams form 30 minutes after the start time. If you get there later, tap I'M HERE when you arrive and the app adds you to a team that still has room (your own group's, if you booked together), or to the solo game if every team is full - Bring a charged phone for each player, with mobile data; a power bank helps - About 1.6 km of walking; wear comfortable shoes - Outdoors in typical weather; if conditions turn unsafe, we reschedule you or refund you - The challenges suit teens and adults; younger players are welcome with grown-ups on the team - Some stops have limited wheelchair access. If you need step-free access, contact us before booking.
