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
