Design a game the size of a neighborhood.

You already know how to write a great puzzle. Lock Chicago's rooms run on 9 to 14 puzzles each, so we built their outdoor game the same way, with the city as the set. Then pick how it plays: a story told in order, a race in any order, or a list of clues with no map at all.

Walking Tour

A set path, stop to stop, with an optional line connecting them on the map. Made for history walks, art trails, campus tours and anything with a story to tell in order.

Scavenger Hunt

Every stop in play at once, in any order. Hunts show a search zone instead of the exact spot, so teams still have to look, and the fastest planners win.

List Only

No map needed. The challenge list is the whole game, so it works anywhere: across a city, around a campus, or through every floor of your office.

Photo, video and text answers, like a whole team in frame or the name on a plaque
Text answers that grade themselves against the answers you accept
Unlock challenges one at a time for a story with a finale
Your best challenges stay in your library for next season's game

Say yes to the corporate group of 100.

Corporate and university groups ask for events ten times the size of a room. Lock Chicago runs outdoor team-building hunts for groups of 100 and more, with every team on the streets at once. Challenges stay hidden until kickoff so nobody gets a head start, standings move every time you approve an answer, and one announcement reaches every team when it's time to head back to your venue.

Each team's Captain submits for the group, so everyone plays at once
Scheduled start and end, with late answers not counting
Live leaderboard and announcements to every team
A zip of every team photo for the client's recap

Rewards: prizes players claim at a real counter.

Points keep score. Rewards give people a reason to walk somewhere, go inside, and come back. Here is one reward from the Roamli Scramble in Chicago, from the moment a shop offered it to the moment it was redeemed.

1
A local business offers a prize.

Ava's Italian Ice put up $2 off an Italian ice and a BOGO flight, only in person. You add a reward once to your library and reuse it across events.
- A code, a link or a personal message
- One shared code, or a pool of unique codes imported from a spreadsheet
- A cap on how many players can earn it
Players see it, and go after it.

Every reward shows on the event's reward board with a progress bar, so players know exactly what they're playing for and how close they are. A prize at the ice cream shop turns its challenges into the ones everyone wants to finish next.
It unlocks on the spot.

The moment a player hits the goal, the reward unlocks automatically, with a scratch-off ticket to reveal the prize. Nobody waits for a raffle weeks later. Every reward they earn stays in My Rewards, across every event.
They walk in and claim it.

The player shows their phone at the counter and staff tap Redeem. It's stamped with the date, so every prize is used exactly once. Nothing to install at the register, and no paper to collect.
You see exactly what it drove.

Each reward shows how many were claimed, allocated and still free, and warns you before a code pool runs dry. Those redemption counts are real visits to a real business, a number you can hand to a sponsor or a member.

Four ways to unlock a reward

A points total Reach 100 points and unlock $5 off at any participating shop.
Challenges approved Get 10 shop challenges approved and win a free hot chocolate.
A specific stop Finish the bookstore challenge and get a bookmark and 10% off.
A leaderboard finish The top 3 teams win gift cards donated by local businesses.

Supercharge your event.

Add one prize and the whole game changes, for the people playing and for you.
