No! Each hunt is designed for a team to play together. In fact, many of the puzzles and activities are intentionally crafted to spark group brainstorming and collaboration — solving mysteries together is part of the fun.

But for the quest to feel authentic, the story needs to flow to a single physical address (or one email address, in the case of Mini Quests). If the same quest is played in parallel by different teams, it takes away some of the magic: the messages won’t feel unique, the puzzles risk being “spoiled” a few minutes or days ahead, and the sense that your team has been chosen to solve the mystery can get lost.

That’s why each quest is directed to one group at a time. Once you’ve completed it, you’re welcome to recommend it to friends — but they’ll want to start fresh with their own copy of the adventure. To keep the mystery alive, we suggest sharing your enthusiasm, not any details. The fun comes from discovering the story, the challenge, and the locations step by step — and that magic only works if each team gets to experience it for themselves.
