City Chase is a modern twist on the classic hide-and-seek game, inspired by the popular Scotland Yard board game. Played outdoors in an urban environment, the game involves a group of 3 or more players, where one player takes on the role of Mr. X and the others are detectives.
The goal for the detectives is to track down and catch Mr. X, who uses strategy to stay hidden. City Chase promotes physical activity by encouraging players to explore the city, making it a fun way to get daily steps in while engaging in a mentally stimulating game. With its combination of outdoor exploration, exercise, and teamwork, it offers businesses in the health and wellness, tourism, and event planning industries an opportunity to incorporate interactive, social experiences into their offerings.
