Bring City Sleuth to your city.
You already know puzzles. We've built the platform. Partner with City Sleuth to design and run outdoor mystery adventures in your city — and earn on every ticket sold.
Built for puzzle makers like you.
You already design clue chains, lockouts, and reveals. Translating that craft to outdoor POIs is a natural extension — and it gives you a creative outlet beyond the constraints of a 60-minute room.
Earn a share of every ticket sold for games in your city. No upfront cost — we take care of the platform, payments, and marketing. You bring the local expertise and puzzle design.
Outdoor games run rain or shine, scale with city tourism, and reach customers who'd never book an indoor escape room. Many partners run City Sleuth in parallel with their existing operation.
Booking, payments, the player app, customer support, leaderboards, marketing — all on us. Your job is to know your city and design unforgettable puzzles. Ours is to run everything else.
From application to launch.
Tell us about your escape room, your city, and why you'd be a great City Sleuth partner.
We review, approve, and walk you through the partner portal, puzzle authoring tools, and payout setup.
You choose POIs around your city, design the puzzles and storyline beats, and we work together to refine.
We market the launch, players book through City Sleuth, and you get paid on every ticket sold in your city.
