02 / The story of this place

Make time for these

SPYHUNTER is a spy hunt through downtown Detroit. You get a physical game box with a real lockbox plus a companion app, and the clues are hiding in public art and landmarks. The 1.75-mile route starts near the Spirit of Detroit and passes the International Memorial to the Underground Railroad, the Riverwalk, the Transcending monument in Hart Plaza, the Penobscot Building, Harmonie Park and Campus Martius. Escapely is a national company, but the route and the box are made for Detroit.
