Decode The City
Custom Mystery Games and interactive adventures by RJ Walker.
What We Do
Live Action, Interactive Mystery Adventures
Decode The City will turn your city, neighborhood, or home into an interactive adventure. These kinds of games are called Alternate Reality Games. You’re probably familiar with role playing games (RPG) like Dungeons and Dragons. In a role playing game, the players assume the role of a fictional character. They make believe a new identity for themselves and they typically have a game master or game system that creates a world, story, and gameplay elements for the players to interact with as their characters. Unlike an RPG, an alternate reality game (ARG) doesn’t require it’s players to assume a character. In an ARG, the world is roleplaying around you, rather than you roleplaying around the world.
Home/Office Murder Mystery Games
A custom game for you and those closest to you.
Get wrapped up in an Agatha Christie-style mystery at home or at the office. Games can include elements like Social Deduction (a player is secretly the killer) or a live game master to help facilitate gameplay.
Perhaps your house is haunted, and it's up to you to solve an old cold case to put the spirits to rest.
Perhaps your work building was formerly a government black site to research extraterrestrials, and some of the experiments never left.
Whatever the story you'd like to play, fun is guaranteed. These games require everyone to work together to solve, bringing families closer, and exercising communication among co-workers.
