CluedUpp GeoGames Modesto Saved Alice in Wonderland

Team #BrewView joined hundreds of players Saturday morning to play a virtual game much like Pokemon Go and Ingress, in the streets of Downtown Modesto.

Starting at the Gallo Center for the Arts, going as far as 5 points and back, players got a glimpse of everything DoMo has to offer. The Modesto Museum, McHenry Mansion, art and statues, and great restaurants, as many teams tried downtown restaurants out for the first time. 

“Alice in Wonderland” is just one of the many themed games Cluedupp Games has to offer. You can find their virtual games in major cities, and prices range from $40-$60 per team. In this particular game, Alice has been kidnapped by the Red Queen and you must find her by interviewing characters like The White Rabbit, Tweedle-Dee and Tweedle-Dum,

“Alice in Wonderland” is just one of the many themed games Cluedupp Games has to offer. You can find their virtual games in major cities, and prices range from $40-$60 per team depending if you buy VIP or regular (kids always play free). In this particular game, Alice has been kidnapped by the Red Queen and you must find her by interviewing characters like the White Rabbit, Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the Mad Hatter, the Knave-and complete side quests in order to get some of them to even talk to you. The games are easily completed on your phone, but all players on a team must complete it correctly or you accrue penalties-for example, if one teammate fails to complete the quest, five minutes is added to your overall time. The riddles were unique and often cute or funny. It was a really fun 2 hours (even though our time was nearly 4 due to penalties!), and we got to meet some pretty cool other teams! 


CluedUpp is hosting a Smurf’s game in February 25th (Gargamel has kidnapped the Smurfs! Oh no!) and upcoming events include Beauty and The Beast-you have to solve a murder mystery in that one, and Witchcraft and Wizardry-where you have to stop a rouge evil wizard. Tickets are on sale now on their website. We are looking forward to playing more CluedUpp games and hope to see you out there next time!
