What is the Spy Quest in Baku?
The Spy Quest turns Baku into one story your group plays together, on foot, phones in hand. There may be a double agent on your team. There may not. Friends find out new things about each other, which is half the fun. Baku had a population of 2,300,500 in 2021, and the quest keeps your group to one walkable part of it [3]. Your friends think they know you. They are about to be surprised.
Where does it start in Baku?
Find your team at Winter Park. Meet at the Məhəmməd Füzuli heykəli. OpenStreetMap places the meeting point in Yasamal Raion, Baku [4]. Please arrive 10 to 15 minutes before your start time; once you check in on your phone, the story takes it from there. Nizami (metro station) is about 460 m from the meeting point [1]. Xarici İşlər Nazirliyi (bus stop) is about 120 m from the meeting point [1]. Mərkəzi Park (park) is about 290 m from the meeting point: a good place to compare alibis afterwards [1]. 16 cafes within 400 m of Winter Park. Pick one for afterwards [1].
How much walking is involved?
The walking between stops adds up to about 2.1 km; the rest of the time is spent stopped, together, working things out. The route is close to flat: its start and stops sit within about 10 m of each other in height [5]. OpenStreetMap maps 3 benches within 250 m of the meeting point [1]. OpenStreetMap lists 1 public toilet within 400 m of the meeting point [1]. Step-free and accessibility details for the Baku route are still being checked, so please ask us before booking if you use a wheelchair or a walker or need regular rests. Wear shoes you can walk in. Bring a face you can keep straight.
When is the best time to play in Baku?
In Baku, the months with daytime highs between 15 and 27 °C and the fewest wet days are April, May and September [2]. August is the hottest month, with an average daily high of 31.3 °C (88 °F), so a later start, shade and water help [2]. The shortest days come in December, with about 9.3 hours of daylight. Sunday open games start mid-afternoon and can end around dusk then, so bring a warm layer. Private teams can start earlier [6]. Coming soon? In November the average daily high is 13.9 °C (57 °F), the average low 9.0 °C (48 °F), with about 8 wet days [2]. January nights drop to 2.6 °C in Baku. Even spies wear a scarf [2].
How many people can play?
In Baku, any group of 1 to 8 can book a private team. Solo players welcome: book on your own and we match you into a team of up to 8. Private groups of up to 50 people book together and are split into teams of up to 8.
