What Secret Mission is – and what it is not

Secret Mission is

  • a crime case you play yourselves: the group investigates as a team of agents.
  • puzzles, codes and locks like in an escape room – every puzzle moves the story forward.
  • professional actors who react live to the group’s questions and decisions.
  • locations that are normally closed to the public, rented exclusively for the length of the mission.
  • always your own group only, never shared with strangers.

Secret Mission is not

  • not a classic escape room: there is no locked room, the game takes place in the city.
  • not a murder mystery dinner: there is no meal, and nobody just watches.
  • not a city tour or scavenger hunt: the focus is on people and a story, not on sights.
  • not horror: as thrilling as a spy film, without jump scares.
  • not an acting class: nobody has to act.
