Ellsworth Outdoor Escape Game: Team Spy Mission

By the end of a mission in Ellsworth, you will know exactly who on your team can keep a secret. Plan your next surprise party accordingly. In plain terms: a team spy adventure on foot, with the missions on your phones. The Grand Auditorium was built in 1938 as part of the city's recovery effort following a 1933 arson. Along the way, Ellsworth shows you a taste of its culture and some green space. 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. Step-free mapped paths all the way: 2.5 km, 4 stops and about 2.5 hours, at whatever pace your team likes. No guide, nothing to download. Afterwards, the surprise-party planning committee has a shortlist, and one teammate is never being told anything again. 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 and anyone new in town: join an open session and team up with other players. You arrive alone and leave with a team, which is more than most networking events manage. - 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. Prefer company? Join the open session every Sunday at 3pm to team up with other players. If nobody else books it, we let you know in advance so you can play solo or move to another date. Bigger groups play as several private teams. What to expect Stand in front of The Grand Auditorium on Main Street, beside its prominent Art Deco marquee and stepped steel and glass tower. 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. - Arrive at The Grand Auditorium 15 minutes early - 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.
