Harpers Ferry Spy Mission: 2.5-Hour Team Game

Two and a half hours of your team debating on street corners, almost-working plans, and one person taking it far too seriously.

A 2.5-hour self-guided spy mission in Harpers Ferry for private teams of 1 to 8 players combines problem-solving, sightseeing and teamwork across four secret stops revealed as you play. You explore on foot, solve clues together, and at the final stop vote on who might be a double agent. The real entertainment is watching each other.

The experience

You get a mission briefing and a phone-based game that unfolds across four stops in Harpers Ferry, each one revealed only after you complete the previous challenge. Your team walks about 3.1 kilometers through the town, solving clues and taking on spy tasks together. There's no live guide, no headset, no app to download beforehand. Just the game on your phone and the people you're playing with. The sights matter less than the debates that happen on the street corners while you figure out what to do next.

Half the mission is the clues themselves. The other half is watching your teammates work through them, because at the final stop your team votes on who might be a double agent. There may not actually be one. You leave with your cover blown, your cheeks sore from laughing, and photographic evidence of both. The game works for one player or a full team of eight. Larger groups can run as multiple private teams on the same day.

Book your date and time, show up with charged phones and mobile data, and start playing. Children from age 6 are welcome. The whole thing takes about 2.5 hours, and you set the pace. There's no schedule to keep except your own.

Top questions

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Youth (13 to 17 years); Child (6 to 12 years): free. Children under 6 can't be included in the booking.

How does the game work if I'm playing alone?

A solo player gets the same mission and clues as a team. You solve them at your own pace and still vote at the end on whether a double agent exists. The game is designed for private play, so one person books one mission just as a group of eight would.

What do I need to bring to play?

One charged smartphone per player with mobile data is required to access the game on your phone. Food, drinks, and transport to the starting point are not included.

Can I play this with a group larger than eight people?

Groups larger than eight split into multiple private teams, each with their own mission running simultaneously on the same day. You choose the date and time that works for everyone.

Are there any stops or locations I should know about before I book?

The four stops stay secret until you earn them by solving clues. That's part of the game. You'll walk about 3.1 kilometers through Harpers Ferry on foot, so comfortable shoes help, but the pace is entirely yours.

Is there a live guide or someone meeting us during the game?

No live guide or in-person host is included. You play self-guided using the game on your phone, which means your team controls the pace and can take breaks whenever you want.
