You step off the curb in downtown Joliet with your team, phones lit and a list of surreal demands: find a bottle for water, retrieve a flashlight, complete a zombie taunt — the city becomes a playable map and every block feels momentarily strategic.
The game layers city history over a timed scramble. Joliet’s streets follow patterns set by 19th-century industry — limestone quarries, the Des Plaines River’s meander, and the old correctional campus that doubled as a movie backdrop — all provide texture as you move between checkpoints. The pavement, bridges, and riverfront parks are the arena; the app is your referee and scorekeeper.
Expect urban walking on sidewalks and plazas, short sprints across intersections, and frequent stops to scan QR codes or photograph items. The format is self-guided and app-driven, so you set pace and route: choose fast, targeted searches for points or wander scenic detours along the river. A remote host monitors chat and can help if a clue stalls your progress.
Practical: the standard session runs about 60 minutes and is family-friendly and stroller-accessible. Mobile ticketing only — download the app and ensure cellular or Wi‑Fi access. Wear comfortable shoes, bring a charger, and plan for traffic at major crossings. Public transit reaches central Joliet, but much of the game is best experienced on foot.
This is urban play with a competitive edge: light logistics, clear objectives, and the satisfaction of outscoring other teams while seeing a city’s real-world character through a gamified lens.
