CONFIDENTIAL / CASE BRIEFING
The story starts here.
Enter the covert world of "The President's Conspiracy," where you are tasked with exposing The Kingmakers—a secret society that has manipulated world leaders and orchestrated global events from the shadows for centuries. A whistleblower has come forward with alarming information, thrusting you into a high-stakes game of deceit.
Your mission: stay one step ahead, decode the secrets, and unravel the conspiracy before their next grand scheme is unleashed.
Will you be the one to expose the truth and save the world from an invisible tyranny?
Oh... and don't forget to say thank you...
Is this for you?
Who it's for
This 2.3 km New Haven walk takes around 90 minutes as you follow a whistleblower's leads to expose The Kingmakers, a secret society steering world leaders. Puzzle-loving friends, or two escape room fans out for the evening, can crack it at their own pace. If you would rather hear history from a live guide than solve a conspiracy plot on your phone, pick another quest.

A little clarity before you go
Frequently asked questions
Is this secret society detective game good for families?
It suits families with teens best. The story is a conspiracy thriller about a secret society manipulating world leaders, and the puzzles ask you to decode secrets using what you see around you. Younger children may find the codes and the 2.3 km walk hard going.
Is this like a scavenger hunt in New Haven?
In a way, yes. Your phone leads you from place to place, tells the story of each spot and sets a puzzle in what is in front of you. Every clue moves the mystery forward as you work to expose The Kingmakers.
How long does it take and how far do we walk?
Plan on around 90 minutes, covering about 2.3 km on foot. You can pause whenever you like, for a coffee or a meal, and continue the mystery later from where you stopped.
Do we need to book a time, and can we play as a group?
There is no time slot to book. Start whenever suits you, with no guide and no other group to join. One ticket covers your whole group, up to the number of devices stated for the quest, and you play on your phones.
Is it outdoors, and what if it rains?
The game is played outdoors on a walk through the city, so dress for the weather. If rain sets in, you can pause and pick the story up again later, on another day if you prefer.
