+ What are the hours of operation?

This experience is self-guided but Players will progress through a series of public and private spaces. As such, you must plan to start your stroll at the date and time listed on your ticket. The hunt takes approximately 2-3 hours depending on how much time you take to check things out along the way. This is not a race and time is not a factor in your success.

+ Can I play alone or as a team?

Yes. To form a team, have one player enter the hunt code on behalf of the team. That player can then use the "Add Team Members" feature in the app to add up to three additional Players that can in synchronous play along with you.

+ What is the level of difficulty?

Easy to Moderate. There are approximately twenty clues in all. Three of the clues are Moderate to Difficult. Some require specific knowledge of general topics such as music or dogs. Many of the clues can be solved by children aged seven and older. Most of the clues offer a series of HINTS to keep players progressing forward and having fun. Players can also SKIP clues if you get stuck for any reason but it’s not recommended.

+ Is this site specific?

Yes. The Cole Stroll is designed for Players to interact with the spaces through which they pass. Some of the clues can only be solved by a Player who can access a specific object in the space, store or sidewalk. However, the app does not require that the Player be in a specific geo-location to solve any of the clues.

+ How is it played?

The primary goal is to have fun. Enjoy the people and places along the way. Acquire as many points as possible by solving sequential clues correctly. Each solution will unlock the next clue. Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of each page before you move to the next screen in the app. Most clues allow players to guess the answer multiple times with no penalty. Some clues will warn players that they have only one chance to submit a final answer. Any words that appear in blue font are web links that will send the Player to the internet for additional information. Except for these links, players are discouraged from looking for solutions to clues on the internet. Use all the available HINTS instead, or just guess. This is not a race and time is not a factor for scoring.

+ What's included?

Each hunt code allows for up to four players working together as a team using an intuitive mobile app. The hunt features riddles, games, stories, puzzles, history, trivia and mentalism clues. Several small hidden objects are acquired by Players along the way. Players are encouraged to purchase snacks and other items at their own expense from our partners along the way.

+ Is it family friendly?

Yes. It is recommended for ages seven and up and all content is family-friendly. Use your own discretion. The Cole Stroll is optimized for immature audiences of all ages.

+ What items do I need to play?

HARDWARE: Each team of players needs at least one mobile device (iOS or Android) with reliable carrier connection. Ideally, every player on a team will have their own mobile device for a shared and synchronous gaming experience.
