Overview

Play a city exploration game where you search your surroundings for ways to solve fun challenges and puzzles that reveal amazing places and stories in the Old City of Philadelphia. There is no guide involved, you just follow an app and play at your own pace.

Each challenge will lead you to the next place by providing you with exact directions on screen. As you solve the challenge, the story of that place is unlocked. And the next location is revealed.

Highlights:
Try a new type of experience, the perfect mix between a tour, an outdoor escape game, and a treasure hunt.
Tour cobblestoned streets and burial grounds in one of America’s most haunted cities.
Adventure through Philadelphia’s sprawling, photo-worthy Independence Mall.

If you are part of a group, one person can purchase access for everybody by selecting the total number of people. All group members will be able to play the city game on their smartphones. Alternatively, each person can purchase their own ticket.
