YOUR Boss?
Your boss has been kidnapped - and you’ve only got two hours to return them to safety! Working in case squads, you’ll travel around the city (on foot), unlocking suspects (5 of your co-workers), solving riddles, puzzles, and completing multimedia challenges to unlock clues. But can you crack the case and save your boss before it’s too late? Your bonus might just depend on it. Don't want to go bespoke? We have a surprise / default boss.

With 50 challenges to choose from - get ready for competitive chaos! Already played but loved it so much you are back? Ask about Ultimate City Hunt 2!

FAQs
What are the Physical Requirements and How Long are the Games?
Our city games are played on foot so you can expect a casual walking pace for up to 2 hours with lots of stops to do challenges and explore the area.
If you want a more ‘fast paced’ game please let us know and we’ll turn up the heat. Alternatively, we also have 60 and 90 minute versions available.
Can We Customize the Experience?
Yes we can! Personalized challenges about your values, custom locations, learning objectives - you name it. Talk to a game producer today.
Are We All Walking Around Together?
No. Our games are designed to scatter teams across the playing field and large groups can be assigned a variety of starting points.
Are the Start / Stop Locations Provided or Custom?
Both. We have a game ‘zone’ for you to play in with recommended stop / starts, but can accommodate custom start / stop locations in most cases. We can also customize any of our games to specific locations, but normally that’s not required.
