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 Oakland. 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!

  • A real-world ghost hunt in Oakland
  • 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

  • 🕒 Duration: ~90 minutes
  • 📱 Requirements: Smartphone with internet connection
