Accessibility

The game route for Crime in Downtown is fully accessible. Secret Mission and Heroes & Villains both include stairways. Heroes and Villains is usually stroller-friendly but in the case where an elevator on the route isn’t operating, your stroller would need some help up a few flights of stairs. Secret Mission and Ghost Patrol both have one challenge that requires you to access an area via stairs but there is another entrance point by ramp around the corner or nearby.

Tips & Advice

  • Dress appropriately for the weather and wear comfortable walking shoes, as the games operate in all conditions. Consider bringing an umbrella if rain is forecast.
  • Arrive at least 5 minutes early to check in; games start promptly, and late arrivals may miss the introduction or have less game time.
  • Costumes are encouraged, adding to the festive Halloween atmosphere. Plan your costume with comfort and mobility in mind for walking.
  • If you plan to make dinner reservations after the game, allow at least 2 hours and 15 minutes for game time, as some games can run slightly longer.
  • Teams are made up of 2-6 players. If your group is larger, sign up for multiple teams to compete against each other for the top score.
