Event short description
Search for a Superhero is a tabletop escape game that can be played at your office or at a restaurant or conference space. Players break up into teams of 6 or so, and compete to determine which of a selection of candidates will be Earth's next superhero. It's thrilling, challenging, creative, and ultimately, very fulfilling.

How it works
Teams work together to solve puzzles and complete the story. The game is presented in stages, which allows teammates to focus on the same step at the same time. It plays like an escape room, but instead of focusing outward, teammates focus inward and work together. Your host will introduce and run the game, and spend the entire time giving hints, confirming answers, and making sure players are having a good time. Every team will play the same game, and if you'd like to offer a prize for the first team to get to the finish line, you may.
The game cultivates:
- Teamwork. Teammates will need to learn to lean on each other’s skillsets, and give everyone a chance to share ideas.
- Communication. Only by talking through problems and piecing ideas together will teams find success.
- Pattern recognition. Puzzles are all about finding the hidden patterns that permeate seemingly insignificant material.
Every team will play the same game, and every team will finish. After the game, the host is available to facilitate a discussion on how the event went, and point out places where teams communicated well — and not so well.
Travel limits:
- I can travel to anywhere within a 45-minute drive from the Edgewater neighborhood of Chicago. Locations outside that range will be charged an additional fee to cover travel time.
Things you'll need
- The client must provide the venue and parking details for the host
- Paper and pencils for each of the teams
- A dedicated table for each team that’s playing the game. I recommend 6-8 players per team.
- If there are more than 7 teams, a video screen to project information during the game, and a mic for the host to use
- Good light
