The Great Game turns your downtown, park or island into a scavenger hunt and escape game played on phones. Residents and visitors explore your history, landmarks and local businesses, solving puzzles as they go. It runs itself, for one day or all season.
“We've gotten great feedback from visitors! It runs itself and drives foot traffic to local spots.”
— Jessica, Block Island Tourism Council
A walking tour people actually finish, a reason to visit your businesses, and an event that doesn't need a crew to run it.
Stops can include your shops, restaurants and galleries, so players discover places they’d walk straight past.

Answers are checked in the app, so a big event doesn’t need a volunteer at every stop.

“The event attracted and engaged a diverse age demographic; it’s effective for a wide audience.” Tower Grove Park
We research the stories behind your buildings and landmarks and turn them into puzzles people remember.

Nature puzzles in a park, history in an old downtown, pirate legends on an island. We research what makes your community special.
Stops at shops, restaurants and galleries send players through your businesses’ doors.
Run it as a festival event or leave it open for visitors to play any day of the summer.
Teams spread out across town, so no sidewalk or shop gets swamped.
Flyers at your visitor center, hotels and shops. Visitors scan, download and play. We can also build a page with everything players need.
Riddles, ciphers, music and color puzzles, floating AR letters and photo stops, with hints at every step.
