Why You Should Go: Normally, dirt-uncovering detectives and crime-solving sleuthes reside only the small screen. But sometimes you get the chance to bring your own gumshoe gumption to the game by donning a trench coat and fedora to crack the cases behind the adult scavenger hunts of Waxwing Puzzle Company.

What to Choose:

• $30 for an Adult Scavenger Hunt or Game for Two ($50 value)
• $50 for an Adult Scavenger Hunt or Game for Four ($100 value)

Why You'll Love It: Indulge your inner sleuth with these elaborate scavenger hunts and role-playing games that let you unravel intrigue, track down clues and solve major mysteries. With your best friends/detectives at your side, you’ll travel to never-before-seen corners of Chicago, immersing yourself in the story and transcending the traditional scavenger hunt experience. 

What to Play: Travel back to Prohibition-era Chicago with the murder-mystery “Speakeasy” game. After assuming a secret role (like a Capone underling or dirty cop), you and your team will form a history-rewriting strategy using no scripts and no actors – just your wits. Or play James Bond with “Spy Game”, an espionage adventure where you’ll chase marks through the Loop, trying to crack the code as you move through three phases: the tail, the drop, and the hit.
