How do I play?

You can book a hunt on our website.  Show up at your reserved time.  Every player must sign a waiver before playing.  You receive your playing packet after a quick orientation.  When the clock starts, you can open your packet and figure out all of the clues.  The clues will give you the combination to the safe, which is back at Rockford Riddler.  Open the safe, and you'll receive a small prize.

How much does it cost?

Ready for some algebra?  Green Hunt Price = $25 x (n-1) + $5 x (n-2), Yellow Hunt Price = $30 x (n-1) + $5 x (n-2), Red Hunt Price = $30 x (n-1) + $5 x (n-2) with "n" being the number of players.  Confusing?  Then is ranges from $6.25 per player to $15 per player depending on what hunt and the number of participants.  We aim to be affordable for all groups and families.

How do I win?

You have as much time as needed, so everyone can win. The top three times will be posted on our Winner's Board.

How long does it take?

The green hunt takes most teams between 45 and and just over an hour.  The yellow hunt takes most teams an hour to hour and a half.  The red hunt takes most teams an hour and 15 minutes to 2 hours.  Allow about 5 minutes when arriving to complete waivers and watch an instructions video.  You will also want to allow 5-10 minutes after you open the safe to revel in your genius (and pick out your prize).

What if I can’t figure out one of the riddles or clues?

No problem! During game play, if you are stumped, come back to Rockford Riddler and we can give you a few hints. You may ask for help as many times as needed, but the clock keeps ticking!

After I receive my packet, can I play again and again?

No, you can't. You must return your packet upon opening the safe. You will not receive your small prize if you do not return your packet. When you sign the form before playing, you are agreeing to return the packet.

How do the prizes work?

All paying players will be able to choose between 5-6 small prizes.  If your 2-5 year old wants a prize, additional prizes can be purchased with the initial packet purchase for $0.50.

Why isn’t this an app?

Need another reason to stare at a screen? We sure don't. Also, an app greatly limits the gameplay. We also use more than one sense: hearing, smell, and touch may be involved in some fashion.

How many people can play at a time?

We recommend groups of 3-6 per packet, but groups of 7 or 8 can be accommodated if needed. You could also compete with other families or groups if additional packets are purchased. If you have a group and want to compete against each other at the same time, feel free to give us a call at 616.822.8327 and we should be able to accommodate you.  You can also contact Rockford Riddler here.
