Yes. The mystery waits for no one, and we need time to calibrate the clues, print your briefing, and warn the local wildlife you are coming.

Please arrive 30 minutes before your ticketed start time. This window allows you to complete the event registration, claim your badge of passage, and engage in awkward small talk with your rivals before the clock starts ticking. Arriving early ensures you catch the full safety briefing and ensures your tech is ready before the mystery begins.

Most teams finish in 1.5 to 3 hours, depending on pace, clue-solving ability, and how often they stop to argue about whether that tree looks “suspicious.”

Ensure your field unit has provisioned the following items prior to clocking in:

• A Smartphone: Fully charged with internet access (Essential).
• Power Bank: Bring backup juice if your phone always seems to go flat.
• One Adult (18+): To supervise the chaos.
• Sensible Shoes: It’s a park, not a catwalk.
• Bribes for the Marshals: (Biscuits preferred, cash accepted).

Then it’s atmospheric. The QR codes are waterproof; we hope you are too. Bring a coat, a sense of humour, and possibly a laminated friend.

You’re not lost. You’re "exploring with intent." (But also, yes, marshals will be on hand to direct you back on track).

No. You’ll be given a physical map and clues, but how you tackle them is up to you. Follow the suggested trail, go rogue, or wander artistically. Just don’t trespass or attempt shortcuts through hedges. We’ve tried. It ends in nettles.

Yes. We design our outdoor adventures to be family-friendly, although the logic puzzles are calibrated for adult brains. However, we find that children are often much better at the physical scavenger hunt elements (spotting the hidden markers) than their parents. We recommend ages 8+, provided they bring a responsible adult to hold the map and stop them climbing the clues.

Yes; live status any time you like. Who's playing, how far they've gotten, whether anything's stuck.

The tool checks for missing or broken story pieces before you publish; nothing goes live with holes in it.

Yes; building, publishing, and archiving stay out of each other's way.

Yes; branching paths generate automatically for different teams without building each by hand.

No; write it once and it stays in sync everywhere it appears, no matter how many storylines cross through it.

A dedicated writing space, with just enough surrounding context to stay consistent; nothing gets lost mid-session either.

Yes; what's tradeable and how it's made is entirely up to you.

It's tested before launch, so problems like one player cornering the market or trades drying up get caught before your players ever see them. This is what sits behind the Economy Layer you'll see referenced on pricing.

A real, accurate map of your actual site; not an approximation.

Yes; export an SVG trace outline of your checkpoints and hand it to your own illustrator, then drop their finished artwork straight back in. This is what the Custom Stylised Map option is.
