Alastair Vance's thoughts:

I was excited to try out a brand new running experience, that combined virtual races, with audio clues and puzzles. The theme was fun, and the puzzles were well thought out and challenging.

There are 6 races in total, and to progress you need to unlock the next race with the outcome of the puzzles. I've never done an escape room, but I'm told it's a similar concept except the clues are provided on the run itself.

Fortunately, you are able to replay those clues when you get home as if your memory is anything like mine...

To complete the race sections, you need to use the Runkeeper app on your phone -- this plays the audio clues depending on how far you are into your run. Runkeeper is free in both the Google and Apple app stores.

If you're looking for something a lot more engaging than your usual virtual races, then give this one a look. It would be more fun to get some friends to sign up with you and complete puzzles as a team. I had to use the online hint system a few times, but puzzling with some friends would have been even better. Next time!
