Fitchburg Confidentiel, États-Unis

It runs about as long as a movie, two and a half hours in Fitchburg, except you are in it and someone might betray you. In plain terms: your team explores on foot and takes on spy missions together. Along the way, Fitchburg shows you a taste of its culture and a breath of green. The sights are nice. The real entertainment is your team: the debates on street corners, the plans that almost work, and the one person who takes it far too seriously. 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 2.6 km, with 4 stops that stay secret until you earn them. The verdict: better than a movie, mostly because nobody shushes you, and you leave with the photos. 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 Bartley-Nolan Park by your departure time. Meet at the corner of Beekman Street and Cliff Street, near Bartley-Nolan Park. Your mission starts on your phones there and leads your team to 4 stops over about 2.6 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 Bartley-Nolan Park, 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 2.6 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 - The walk between stops follows step-free mapped paths, and no stop is marked as inaccessible. Kerbs and paving are not checked on the ground, so contact us if you need full step-free access.
