Frequently asked questions

What are the must-see spots in the Paulus Hook area of Jersey City?
This route takes in a good sample of them. You visit the Katyń Memorial, the Colgate Clock, the Morris Canal Statue, the Korean War Memorial, the Paulus Hook Memorial, Sister Cities Lane and public art such as Adorn Me and On Boundaries, finishing at a labyrinth.
Where does the walk start and finish, and how long is it?
It is a loop of about 3 km that starts at the Katyń Memorial and comes back round to finish at a labyrinth nearby. Most players take just under two hours, including the walking and the word puzzles. The route is open around the clock but works better in daylight.
Is it free, and can we play as a group?
Yes, it is free to play. You can walk it with friends or family and solve the word puzzles together on your phones. There is no group to join and no guide, so you start whenever suits you.
Is it suitable for children?
It suits older children and teenagers best. The puzzles are word-based, so players need to read comfortably, and the story follows a young woman trying to rescue her sister from a dangerous cult, which may not suit very young children. The walk takes close to two hours.
What if it gets cold, or we need a break?
You can pause the game and continue later. If the weather turns cold, there is somewhere to go inside and warm up at almost every location on the route. Note that temporary construction work may affect parts of the walk.
