Het Calgary Protocol, Canada

You will walk about 2.5 km through Calgary. You will remember none of the sights and all of the betrayals. In plain terms: your team explores on foot and takes on spy missions together. Along the way, Calgary shows you a taste of its culture. No guide means no one to impress and no one to blame. Just your crew and 2.5 hours of increasingly bold decisions. Some missions need a sharp eye, some need a little nerve, and some need everyone talking at once. No puzzle skills required, just a sense of humor. There may be a double agent on your team. There may not. By day or after dark, this route works: about 2.5 hours, 4 stops and 2.5 km on foot, with evening games possible. 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 Meet in front of Fort Calgary Historic Park, where the Bow and Elbow rivers meet. Your mission starts on your phones there and leads your team to 4 stops over about 2.5 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 The Confluence Historic Site & Parkland, 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 2.5 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.
