Solve a deadly crime case around Dubai’s creek using our mobile app to guide you through a series of food tastings & cryptic puzzles!
This game is run in collaboration with Wander with Nada. It is designed to be played independently using your mobile device without the presence of a tour guide.
- Play solo, as a couple or as a group of friends.
- Choose any day to play that you prefer, and if you need to switch it around, we can do that for you!
- Bond with your fellow players through an exhilarating half day activity. On average groups take 4 hours to finish the game.
- Solve clues sent right to your mobile phone or tablet as you progress through the crime case. You have 3 tries to crack each clue before we help you out — but every wrong try leads to a points penalty. The more points, the more street cred you have as undercover agents.
- Follow a trail peppered with historic, cultural and culinary information that will give you a virtual tour of the city as you crack the case.
- Eat your way through Old Dubai in order to solve the clues!
- Vegetarians don’t fret! The game has vegetarian options at every food stop.
Any day of your choice! We recommend starting the game anytime between 9:30AM and 3:30PM (Sat-Thu) so you may enjoy dessert at the final stop (closes at 8PM). But if that’s not possible and you finish later, we’ve provided alternative dessert options that are a bit of a walk away. On Fridays, certain stops might be closed before 2:30PM. So we recommend starting the game after 2:30PM.
5 tastings which include: 2 light savory meals, 2 sweet tastings, 1 hot beverage. Vegetarian options available.
Fully charged mobile device(s) (phone/tablet) with an internet connection and our scavenger hunt app downloaded (free to download for Android & Apple.)
Lots of walking involved!
Tastings include Gluten/Lactose. Please check with us before booking if you have severe allergies.
Dress comfortably to walk. Sunscreen and hat recommended.
