Experience the thrill of going on a real world quest: Read the riddles, Crack the codes, Solve the ciphers and at the end, take the treasure.
The premise
Every Urban Sphinx event starts with a story and ends with a treasure and a thrilling experience. Clues are all around you. You solve one to unlock the next, until the final clue hands you the prize. To experience it, all you have to do is find where the Sphinx is in your city or drop us a "Hi" and the Sphinx will come to you.
6 modes to play
Stopped on the street, handed three cards, one hunt begins.
A hunt built around a birthday, an anniversary, a person.
Why this exists
Urban Sphinx started with a treasure hunt played in college, and a smaller one built at home for a birthday. Both proved the same thing: no algorithm hands you the feeling of standing in the right spot, at the right moment, having earned the answer yourself.
