You step onto the sidewalk with a ticking clock in your pocket and a city that refuses to slow down. Traffic hums, tour groups orbit monuments, and your team has 60 minutes to locate scavenged supplies, solve challenges and rack up 4,000 points before the simulated apocalypse claims the day.
The route threads through the political heart of the United States — streets laid out under Pierre L'Enfant's plan, lined by 19th- and 20th-century federal buildings and modern museums. The stone and bronze of monuments give the game context: what began as commemorative architecture now becomes wayfinding features and checkpoints in a playful urban challenge. Geologically the ground is flat and urbanized, with broad avenues and predictable sidewalks; culturally, expect a mix of tourists, office workers and students from nearby universities.
This self-guided hunt uses your smartphone to deliver clues, trivia and on-the-street tasks. The terrain is easy — mostly paved surfaces with occasional steps or plazas — and the experience is family-friendly and stroller-accessible. Public transit access and dense street grids make it simple to start or stop as needed, and the game is private to your group (up to 10).
Practical tips: charge your phone and a battery pack, wear comfortable walking shoes, and plan around peak crowds—mornings or late afternoons are best. Keep tabs on time; the app paces you toward high-value items and bonus challenges. Whether you’re with family, a group of friends, or team-building colleagues, the hunt is an urban sprint that rewards quick thinking, local observation, and fluid teamwork.
You will receive a message with the recommended outdoor starting location before your game; commonly this is near the National Mall. If you don't receive instructions, contact the organizer.
Groups can include up to 10 players under a single booking; the experience is private to your team for the session.
The route is primarily on paved sidewalks and plazas and is stroller-accessible; however, some tasks may require standing or short walks to specific features.
For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time; last-minute cancellations within 24 hours are non-refundable.
