The street outranks the screen
Stop in a safe place before reading clues, answering prompts, crossing streets, or taking photos.
Field briefing
How It Works
The Game Bureau makes walking tours that play like games. Real places, real stories, no app required.
-
Pick a game
Browse the library and choose a city or story. Each game has its own starting point, tone, and rules.
-
Travel to the start
Open the game on your phone and head to the rendezvous point. The route begins where the story needs you.
-
Walk and play
Stops unfold one at a time with clues, photos, questions, and choices on the street. Keep your head up and let the city answer.
-
Pay if prompted
Free games are free. Paid games let you start free, then prompt you mid-game to continue. Checkout is quick and secure.
-
Finish the story
Reach the final stop and close out the game. Walk away with a new sense of the place and probably a new favorite spot.
Before you step out
A few Bureau rules.
Nothing to install
Games run in the browser. Open the link, travel to the start, and the route takes over from there.
No ticket booth
When a paid game asks you to unlock the rest, payment happens inside the route and returns you to the same spot.
