There's nothing quite like The Great Game. It's like a scavenger hunt mixed with an escape room. Built around the coolest places in the world (like Harvard University), it is a completely unique way to explore an incredible area.

Over 200,000 players have played around the world and across all platforms we have a 9.2/10 player satisfaction score.

It is completely self guided, so you can go at your own pace. There are built in hints, so you will never get stuck in the adventure. As you walk from location to location, the app will teach you more about various parts of the Harvard University and why they are so special.

In the Harvard Heist, the Harvard Art Museums have been robbed and it is up to your team of detectives to recover the stolen painting.
