The itinerary

Day 01

Meet your team

Up to six people, one team. The awkward bit lasts about ninety seconds.

Get your briefing

Arrive at Greenway Meadows by your departure time. Your phone hands you a story and sets you loose — no guide, no clipboard, nobody talking at you.

Explore Princeton (New Jersey)

Wander the city together, following the trail and swapping stories as you go.

Be a bit silly

Take the photo. Do the voice. Everyone is in it together, and anything your team would rather skip can be skipped.

Pull it off together

Someone will have the idea that cracks it. That feels good when it is yours and better when it is not.

See where it goes

The quest ends. Whether the group does is up to you.

Know before you go

You stay with your team for the whole quest. The route never separates players, and no mission sends you anywhere on your own.
Every stop is an outdoor public place that is open and in use - no private addresses, no restricted areas, no isolated spots.
Evening departures are only offered where every stop on the route is lit and open at that hour.
You can switch your booking to a private group at any time before departure, so only the people you booked with can join.
Every mission can be skipped, with no penalty and no explanation needed. Your team decides who appears on camera, and recap videos stay private unless you share them.
If you ever feel uncomfortable, you can stop and leave at any point. Contact us and our support team will make it right.
Follow local laws, posted signs, and pedestrian rules at all times.
Do not enter restricted areas or take unnecessary risks to complete a mission.
Pause the experience whenever conditions make it unsafe to continue.
Players remain responsible for their own personal belongings.
