About this Event

Every night, thousands of ghosts are going out haunting. Most of them are harmless, trapped between worlds, but one hides a dark purpose, plotting to unleash terror on your city.


Bring your friends and family and play as a team of ghosthunters where you'll follow clues, solve interactive puzzles in the REAL WORLD, and learn chilling stories behind the spirits that are haunting your city.

This 90-minute adventure combines outdoor escape room challenges, scavenger hunt fun, and immersive storytelling, making it perfect for outdoor excitement away from screens. Dress up, embrace the spookiness, and see if you can catch the one ghost plotting to unleash terror in the city!

Do you have the courage to go hunting?



HOW DOES IT WORK❓
  • You'll be walking to real locations in your city by following clues and instructions on your phone.
  • In total, you'll be visiting 10 hand-picked haunted locations in safe and interesting areas of your city and you'll walk a total of ~1.5 miles.
  • At each location, you'll use your phone as a supernatural detector to track the ghost and solve their puzzle to catch them.
  • Once you visit all the locations and catch all 10 ghosts, you'll have to decide which one is the evil one and banish it.
  • When you finish the whole game, you'll get rewards (gems, points, and event collectible items) inside the app.
