Highlights

There's nothing quite like The Great Game. It's like a scavenger hunt mixed with an escape room. Built around the coolest places in the world (like Harvard University), it is a completely unique way to explore an incredible area. Over 200,000 players have played around the world and across all platforms we have a 9.2/10 player satisfaction score. It is completely self guided, so you can go at your own pace. There are built in hints, so you will never get stuck in the adventure. As you walk from location to location, the app will teach you more about various parts of the Harvard University and why they are so special. In the Harvard Heist, the Harvard Art Museums have been robbed and it is up to your team of detectives to recover the stolen painting.

About Cambridge

Cambridge, Massachusetts, sits across the Charles River from Boston, a city of Harvard and MIT with book-lined squares, museums and riverside paths.

Cambridge lies across the Charles River from Boston and is home to Harvard University, founded in 1636, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Harvard Yard, with its brick halls and elm-shaded lawns, sits beside Harvard Square, where bookshops, cafés and street musicians gather around the subway station. The city was named after Cambridge in England, where many early Puritan leaders studied.
