    Ghosts of Chicago: Haunted City Exploration Game

    Discover Chicago’s haunted locations by following clues and solving puzzles on your phone. As you solve challenges, the story unfolds and exact directions on your phone will guide you to the next location. Ready for an adventure?

    This is a phone-based exploration game rather than a guided tour, so you follow clues and solve puzzles on your own device while the story unfolds and directions point you to the next location. It is self-paced and needs no guide or set start time, which makes it a flexible option for small groups, families, or travelers who want a game layered onto their walk. If you specifically want a guide's live storytelling, this is a different experience.

    Chicago's haunted reputation draws on a deep and dramatic past, and the city gives you plenty of ground to cover on foot. Because you are following your phone, you set the pace and route within the game, which is the main appeal here over a scheduled group tour.
