Presidio Plaza - Old Town San Diego: walk and solve

The San Diego Syndicate (outdoor escape game) includes Presidio Plaza - Old Town in a fictional chase after Magnus and stolen formulas. Whaley House Museum and Immaculate Conception Catholic Church appear before the plaza in the listed route. The game is played outdoors on foot through Old Town, using the free Loquiz app on your own phone. Allow 1.5 to 2 hours for the mission, with at most 5 players sharing one team phone. Choose it for a street-based escape activity that your group follows together. The plaza is one place along that route, with the chase providing the reason to keep solving as you walk.

Secrets of San Diego is a self-guided scavenger hunt through Little Italy lasting 1.5 to 2 hours. Its route lists The Guardian of Water, San Diego Marriage License and Piazza della Famiglia among the points you encounter. Follow the game and work on its activity with your own group through the free Loquiz app on your phone. This option allows at most 4 players per team, unlike the five-player limit for the outdoor escape mission. Choose Secrets for its separate scavenger hunt route rather than expecting a walk through Old Town. Agree on which setting and kind of activity your companions would enjoy before you begin.

Both San Diego games cost €19.95 per team, with at most 4 players for Secrets and 5 for The San Diego Syndicate. One phone carries the selected activity for your group. You can start whenever you want, every day, and the game remains valid for 12 months. Check your group’s size when choosing and leave room for the full playing time in your plans. Friends, couples, families or colleagues can make the walk a shared mission. Read the task together and give everyone a chance to suggest an approach, so the person holding the device is not the only one solving as the game progresses.
