“It’s was a great first time experience I wish I had came on time but the experience and the game was great me and my wife would be coming back again”
Solve a murder across Chicago’s Fulton Market with an app, clue box, and real-world puzzles for up to six people.
“It was fun to explore a part of Chicago we may not have ever thought to go to. The experience also brings you into different shops and bars, which was a little odd with kids. It has you open the box and start the mystery on an intersection which made it hard to hear the video. Would be better to open the box and hear the video in the car before hand. We all finished with mixed feelings about this. The clues are challenging and the teens in our group lost interest halfway.”
Test your teamwork in Chicago’s five themed escape rooms, with 60 minutes, unlimited hints, family-friendly puzzles, and groups of up to eight.
“Really enjoyed it!! Even if we didn’t escape, it was still a very fun experience!”
Solve a Chicago murder while tasting donuts, a hot dog, deep dish pizza, and dessert on a lively two-hour food tour.
“A super fun blend of murder mystery, Chicago architecture, and history. Would definitely recommend to adults or a family. (We have 3 kids 13, 10, and 8, and it was fun for them too!) Andre is an engaging and fun host whom made it a great day fRead more”
Explore Millennium Park and Grant Park through a flexible Chicago puzzle game covering art, architecture, history, and iconic landmarks.
“At first the quest started out good until we ran into construction areas where things were being blocked. We had to use a clue/hint reveal answer which started taking the fun out of the game. We decided to continue anyways and had a problem getting into range of the water fountain. Had to use an expand radius. There were 4 of us in the group and like to get everything correct without using "points", this made the game more difficult when one person couldn't get game reconnected since she was not able to go back to last location and not be able to reach the fountain again to restart game…”
Explore Chicago’s Lincoln Park through a self-guided haunted history game with clues, monuments, smartphone play, and flexible timing.
“This was worth the little money it cost. The download and getting ready was a bit of a hassle still worth it. We really enjoyed all of it up until the last clue that was not accessible anymore. However the help menu and chat from the app let us know what happened at the end. Would probably liked a big finish. Still lots of interesting facts and places we would have missed on our trip. I did report the issue so hopefully others won’t get to the last chapter and not be able to complete it as well.”
Review of Chicago’s self-guided Chocolate Tour, with Loop and River North stops, app clues, costs, timing, treats, and practical tips.
“Fun date! I wasn't expecting much, but was happy with this hunt's good mix of spots and suggested treats. Some high-end, some casual, some familiar and some locations we'd never been to even after living in the city for many years. We were full and tipsy by then end!”
Review of Chicago’s remote-hosted scavenger hunt, with stops at North Avenue Beach, Macy’s, Cloud Gate, and Millennium Park.
“Was super fun had a great time, the host kat was amazing and did such a great job. Would definitely do again and will find in other states.”
Explore Chicago’s Loop with a smartphone scavenger hunt covering Cloud Gate, the Art Institute, historic hotels, art, clues, and 2 miles of walking.
“We did not get to do it. It states to go to a hotel that knows nothing of it. It was not until after reaching out to support and hours after the time planned did I get informed that it was done on our phone.”
Explore Chicago by solving clues at Navy Pier, Millennium Park, and the lakefront in a flexible, self-guided audio tour.
“A fun way to get to explore a great part of the city. We learned and laughed and high-fived our way through the clues. And genuinely enjoyed the locations. Many pictures were taken! We only had an afternoon to complete but we did it and didn’t feel rushed at all. We didn’t go into any of the big locations but it left an idea of what we could do/visit the next time we’re here. We had a blast!”
Solve clues across Chicago’s Lincoln Square, visiting local landmarks, parks, shops, and hidden history for just $9.
“The discoveries I made while creating this game floored me. The places you’ll see and history you’ll learn are amazing!”
Explore Chicago’s free Lincoln Park Zoo with an app-guided scavenger hunt covering animals, history, clues, and a live leaderboard.
“Overall a fun thing to add to our trip to the zoo! It was a little complicated to get to the actual activity (since I purchased through Viator and had to access the activity through eAtlas), but was fairly straightforward once I figured it out. We couldn’t find everything, but also didn’t see every single thing at the zoo.”
Explore Chicago with a one-hour zombie scavenger hunt, using an app, creative challenges, and flexible team play for just $20 per group.
“Finding the different items and having to act out random scenes. Also just seeing the different ideas we came up with as a group. It was super fun and enjoyable.”
A door, a street, a phone or a dinner table.
