About this Event

Dive into Washington D.C.'s rich history as you solve riddles and uncover hidden gems. This self-guided mobile tour takes you past famous sights like the Lincoln Memorial, the White House, and more, offering a fun and interactive way to explore the U.S. capital's monumental history and vibrant culture!

An ideal outdoor activity for first time visitors, couples, groups, families, and children. Can be used as a great team-building activity.

Once you're in United States Capitol, download the app and use the maps integration (an internet connection is required) to reach the attractions.

At each stop, learn about the attraction and solve a location-based riddle that can only be solved if you reach the specific location. Use logic, imagination, observation, and team spirit to unlock the correct code and reveal the next destination of the city sightseeing game.

Once you put in the correct code, the app will reveal the next destination and riddle to you. The puzzles are independent and not connected to each other through a story, so interact with the attractions and their exteriors to work out the answers.

Take the opportunity to snap some photos as you walk between locations, and pause the game whenever you want. Have a coffee, visit a museum, go for lunch, or even wait until another day — the game will be waiting for you.
