The story

Dr. Crypto, a deranged criminal, has locked up several men and women in places all over the city. He has left riddles everywhere. Can you solve them and free the hostages from their cages?

Run around your favourite city, gather clues from your surroundings and save the hostages. Play as one group or go head to head with multiple groups. The perfect complement to a physical escape room, or a great team-building experience on its own.

How does it work?

  • Each team gets a GPS tablet. Use it to find the clues Dr. Crypto has scattered across the city.
  • Speed pays. Free the hostages quickly and you earn bonus cash.
  • Stuck? Buy a hint. But beware: every wrong guess and every hint costs you money.

Who is it for?

Anyone who can use a smartphone or tablet. Love suspense, strategy and puzzles? Then this game is for you – and along the way you'll discover sights and get to know the city better.
