Our puzzle tour is an escape room crossed with a scavenger hunt and sprinkled with a mystery story.

When you arrive you are given a game package with a booklet. The booklet will guide you through around downtown Orangeville as you solve puzzles, riddles and codes. The goal is to solve the mystery.

What is the photo tour like?

It is like scavenger hunt where you get a chance to learn about Orangeville's history, discover amazing art, and take beautiful photos!

When you arrive you are given a game package with a booklet. The booklet will guide you through around downtown Orangeville.

How difficult are the games? 

Our photo tour only has one level: Easy.

Our puzzle tour ranges from Easy to Hard with 5 different game modes or levels. 

Which puzzle game level should I pick?

We suggest that you take a peek at our levels                     If our explanation is unclear and you are still unsure, please contact us! Our detectives would be happy to help you decide on the perfect experience for you!

Who can play?

Play with friends, your family, your significant other, or even colleagues for work.

The adventures are best enjoyed with three or more players per party.

Private bookings can accommodate up to 48 players and special arrangements can be made for parties over 10 people.

For the best experience, the recommended minimum age is 12. That being said, we accept players of all ages.

Why do you have age recommendations?

The game involves a series of codes, clues and puzzles. The brain puzzles may be too complex for younger players or disabled players with a lower mental capacity. That being said, again, we accept players of all ages.

What if I have less than 3 players? Can two people play?

For the best experience on each level of our games, we suggest a minimum of three players. For pairs or solo players, we suggest that playing an easier level of our game. Try the levels Elementary, Watson or Leisure.

Please contact us to make these special arrangements. 

What if I have more than 6 players?

For up to 10 players, please book as normal.

We would like to inform you that upon arrival, your group will be broken up as evenly as possible amongst yourselves. You will not be paired with strangers.

This is for your convenience and the convenience of others as some of the spaces are too small for large groups.

Is the game frightening?

None of our games are designed to include any intense or frightening moments. You may feel a little bit of adrenaline due to the time limits, but nothing else. 

Will we interact with other players? 

Other parties will play the same game at the same time. You will see them before and after a game when everyone meets to start or finish a game. You may see other players while playing game. 

We discourage sharing clues and information because players may be sharing the wrong answer. 

 

If you wish, you may contact us to book a private event.  

How long will the game take?

Puzzle tours range from 1 hour to 4 hours depending on the mode chosen. 

Photo tours are play at your own pace. They generally take an hour. 

Time is limited, but don't worry about being the fastest.

Where will we be playing?  

Players will be spending time outside and in the stores on the downtown streets of Broadway and Mill St. 

Please dress for the weather. 

How safe is the game?

Adventurers are never put in harm's way, nor are there any imaginary, in-game "threats".
