About this Event

Every night, millions of people are going out hunting… for ghosts!

Armed with your phone and a supernatural detector, you and your team will track down wandering spirits hidden across Columbus. Some are harmless, trapped between worlds, but one hides a dark purpose—plotting to unleash terror on the city.

To stop it, you’ll have to

  • find all the ghosts scattered around in a 1 mile radius,
  • solve all their challenges to collect clues about the evil one,
  • figure out who is the evil ghost and banish it.

Gather your courage, bring your friends, and join the other 1.000.000 hunters —the city’s fate rests in your hands!


WHAT'S INCLUDED?
  • A real-world ghost hunt in Columbus
  • Solve puzzles and riddles as you chase spirits through the city
  • Play with friends, family, or a date—it’s designed for any group size
  • Feel the thrill of starring in your own ghost movie
  • Perfect for nights out, birthdays, or anytime you're up for a spooky challenge

DETAILS:
  • 📅 Available everyday from 5 PM (best to do after dark)
  • 🕒 Duration: ~90 minutes
  • 📱 Requirements: Smartphone with internet connection
  • 🕵️‍♀️ No age limit: Kids under 12 y/o must be accompanied by adults.
