The ultimate FUN activity to include in your next party
Mystery Towns adventures are perfect for birthday parties, staff Christmas parties, visiting sports teams and other special interest groups. Seasonal theming and storylines are available to help set the mood, with the usual mix of fun clues and puzzles deliver an awesome experience!.
How it Works
Depending on total group size, teams will either start from the same point with 2-3 minutes between departures, or use a ‘shotgun start’ from multiple points around the route.
Each team given a unique code that will activate a series of clues sent to the FREE Mystery Towns App. Starting with a tricky puzzle, each team will have to work together to carefully read, interpret and solve the clues that take them around town.
During the race, teams will visit local icons and hidden gems, interacting with businesses along the way, and requiring excellent teamwork to efficiently solve the clues. Correct answers will automatically generate the next clue, but beware – wrong answers and using the HINT buttons will cost time penalties added at the end.
The fastest group rarely wins, but the team that works together most effectively almost always does!
