Turn Cincinnati Into the Story
The Cincinnati Protocol hands your team a case and lets the city do the rest — clues to read, places worth standing in, and 3-hour you will still be talking about.
The city you know, with a story running underneath it
There is a difference between passing through Cincinnati and getting properly caught up in it. The Cincinnati Protocol gives you a reason to look: a trail across the real city, a case that opens up as you follow it, and a detail on an ordinary street that turns out to matter. Come with your own group or join a team on the day.
What to expect
A glimpse of Cincinnati
When Cincinnati stops being the backdrop
The Cincinnati Protocol turns the city around you into the setting for a spy story. A doorway you would have passed without a glance becomes the thing your team needs. A carving turns out to be the answer. The city is exactly as busy and real as it always is; you are just moving through it with a reason.
The afternoon builds its own momentum. One discovery leads to a theory, the theory leads somewhere, and somewhere along the way one of you spots the thing nobody else has seen. That moment is the one people describe afterwards.
Pick the version that suits you. Join a team on the day, book privately for your own group, or make it an afternoon for two. Teams run up to 6, and the experience — not a guide — is what carries it.
What happens once you step into the story
The story arrives as you go, but the good part happens between the people beside you. Over 3-hour your team looks, talks, tries things and decides what to do next. Nobody is carrying the conversation for you and nobody is handing over answers.
Everything is optional. Solve, perform, film, direct, or simply come along and enjoy it — there is a way to be useful on every mission and nobody is put on the spot.
The route stays hidden until you begin, so the discoveries stay discoveries. Check the published Quest page for booking details, then arrive ready to see Cincinnati differently.
