On the day of the event, we provide an iPhone loaded with our app, Urban Sleuth. You'll then spend the next two hours racing around the city competing against other teams.
The iPhone becomes a modern day Dick Tracy watch or Mission Impossible device. Solve missions embedded in the "real world", while being immersed in an Alternate Reality adventure. Ever watch The Game, Amazing Race, or Treasure Hunters? It's a bit like that. Or geo-caching on steroids. We make the secrets of your neighborhood come alive.
We merge reality and fantasy... and sometimes it isn't easy to tell them apart. Investigate puzzles planted on web sites, or engraved on historical monuments. Race around the city competing with friends, and meeting real, live actors. Solve a mystery; save the world. You are the protagonist in the story. Why watch a movie, when you can be inside one?
We pride ourselves on appealing to all kinds of people - young, old, tragically hip, people who “don't like to think,” people who “think too much,” people who consult tea leaves. We've had 9 year-old girls beat the Haines off a bunch of Ph.D.'s from Nokia Research Labs. We've had corporate suits nearly get arrested for chicken-dancing so “enthusiastically” on the streets of the North End. In the end, you get what you want out of it.
Unless you want boredom, we can't help you there!
