Description
Ever done a 5k that also gave your brain a workout? Presenting Puzzlerun: a 5k run/walk with escape-room-style puzzles along the way! Coming to York Sport Village on March 29th. The story so far... A masked thief known as the Varnish Ghost has stolen a valuable painting and vanished into the park. The museum director hires you to chase them down, insisting the painting must be recovered quickly – and quietly. But why has the Varnish Ghost left a trail for you to follow? Is this trail of clues being left intentionally by a master thief, or is it a distraction while the thief goes for an even bigger score? In this Puzzlerun, you'll solve 10 puzzles and run/walk 5 kilometers to unravel the mystery. Work together as a team and have a good time! What: a 5k that works out your brain! Every 500 meters is an escape-room-style puzzle that advances the story Where: York Sport Village (YO10 5FG) When: March 29th - wave times from 9am to 2:30pm Who: you and a team of 1-4 runners / puzzle-solvers Why: Because you're ready for a run with a twist.
