TOP FAQs (see our full FAQs here)

Q: How do I start ("activate") the game?

A: Go to the start spot and send in your code!

After purchasing tickets, you'll receive a confirmation email with a start location and an activation code. When you're ready to start, go to the start spot. If you have a smartphone, visit strayboots.com/play and enter your code. If not, no worries! Just text your code to the phone number provided in the instructions email.

 

Q: How far in advance do I need to buy tickets (or redeem my voucher)? (Can I buy and play on the same day?)

A: You can buy and play right away!

When you purchase (or redeem), you'll get emailed instructions for getting started. You can follow those instructions the instant you receive them and you can start your game.

 

Q: How long does it take to play? 

A: 2-3 hours, but it's up to you!

Each game takes about 2-3 hours (museum games are a little longer), not including taking breaks along the way. How quickly you walk, how many breaks you take, how many hints you use / clues you skip, and how easily you find the answer will all affect how long each game takes you. But no pressure to finish. If you can't finish in one shot, you can resume your game anytime within a year of the day you bought.

 

Q: Do I need to buy a ticket for everyone in my group?

A: Yes, please!

Tickets are sold per person for everyone who will be enjoying the experience, just like a walking tour or traditional scavenger hunt. Your cell phone just takes the place of a human tour guide or paper packet of clues. Each team has just one captain who will send and receive all messages on their phone, but captains can be switched if a phone battery is running low, or just to mix things up. Want to use more than one phone? Ask us about our head to head or large group options: strayboots.com/large-groups

 

Q: What if we want to play as multiple teams?

A: No problem! We like your competitive spirit. Just follow these simple steps:

    1. Buy your tickets for the number of people in your group.

    2. Forward the "Activation Instructions" email you receive to info@strayboots.com telling us the number of teams you'd like to play with.

    3. We'll email you back additional codes

    4. Smoke the competition!
