Search for a Superhero is a unique tabletop escape experience that brings the thrill of a full escape room directly to your venue. Perfect for teams of 5-500 players, this two-hour adventure challenges your group to find Earth's next superhero through puzzles, original artwork, and collaborative problem-solving.
You and your team take on the role of the Superhero Recruitment Agency, tasked with hiring Earth's next superhero.
The game features dozens of pieces of original art, by illustrator Jon Marchione.
“A total delight! I hired The Mystery League to run a game during our all-company meetup. Afterwards, everyone told me they had a blast and wanted to know how I found The Mystery League. They were really blown away by the thoughtfulness and beautiful design of the puzzles.”— Joan at 37signals
A common sight: smiling faces and the satisfying sounds of cracking a puzzle.
We've packed all the excitement of an escape room into a portable experience that comes right to your office or chosen venue.
Teams of 6-8 players embark on a two-hour adventure, with our game master on-site to provide hints and ensure everyone's having a great time.
All teams tackle the same game, in parallel. We calibrate the difficulty and the hints to ensure that everyone feels success by reaching the conclusion of the game.
After the game, we are available to facilitate a discussion on how the event went, and point out places where teams communicated well — and not so well.
The game is designed to get teams to work together, one step at a time.
“None of us had done any sort of event like this before. I think all of us were hooked after solving our first puzzle. We were cheering and high-fiving like little kids. The puzzles were smart, creative and fun in a way that made us feel smart, creative and clever.”— Katherine

I work with very smart, very discerning colleagues who can be difficult to impress, at best. This was the perfect creative mix of head-scratching, fun, a-ha moments. I 100% recommend The Mystery League.— Annette at IDEO
