Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for participating in the exploration game?

A: There’s no strict age limit for the game, but it's designed for teens and adults. Kids might find it a bit challenging since it involves problem-solving and reading, but they can certainly tag along! Just make sure they can handle using the app on a phone since that’s how you navigate.

Q: How does the weather affect the exploration game? What if it rains?

A: The game is mostly outdoor, so it’s best to check the weather ahead of time. If it rains, you might want to postpone since it could make the game trickier. You can easily reschedule through your account, and they’ll send you an email with instructions on how to do that.

Q: What should I wear for the Harvard exploration game?

A: Comfort is key! You’ll be walking around a lot, so wear comfortable shoes. Layers are a good idea too since it can get chilly in Cambridge, especially if you’re out in the evening. Other than that, just dress casually—no need for anything fancy!

Just did the Harvard Exploration Game and it was awesome!

I took my sister for her birthday to the Harvard exploration game, and we had a blast! It was so cool to uncover the secrets of the campus while solving clues on our phones. We loved finding out the stories behind Widener Library and the Statue of John Harvard. It felt like we were part of a movie! Highly recommend it for anyone looking for a fun day out in Cambridge.

Considering this as a gift, any thoughts?

I’m thinking about gifting the Harvard exploration game to my boyfriend who loves puzzles and history. He’s a huge fan of escape rooms! Do you think this would be engaging enough for him? How long does it usually take to finish the game?
