Itinerary

Join forces with the remarkable team of misfits and start your own magical outdoor escape-room-style experience in Houston! Jump into our all-new gripping narrative, inspired by L. Frank Baum’s original Oz novel from 1900! Try to outsmart the witch by cracking immersive puzzles with friends, or tackle her challenges solo, facing off against the leaderboard. Enjoy original new songs, in the theme of Oz, specially created for this game, available in the app and on-demand when you get home. Follow clues to uncover each new location and discover (or rediscover) places around Houston in a whole new light. Get rewarded with special gifts for your accomplishments. Participate in the costume contest by submitting a photo in your fanciest attire. Make sure you have your phone charged and your walking shoes on! Tick-tock, time to escape!
