A glimpse of Indianapolis

🔍

Soldiers and Sailors Monument

A 284-foot, 6-inch neoclassical obelisk monument in gray oolitic limestone standing at the center of downtown Indianapolis on Monument Circle, designed by German architect Bruno Schmitz and dedicated in 1902 as a tribute to Hoosier veterans of multiple American wars. It houses a gift shop and an enclosed observation level reached by elevator or stairs, and is recognized as one of the world's outstanding monuments and the largest outdoor memorial in Indiana.

🔍

Oliver P. Morton

The Oliver P. Morton memorial is a public artwork by Austrian sculptor Rudolph Schwarz, installed in 1907 on the east side of the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis at the intersection of North Capitol Avenue and West Market Street. It features three bronze figures on granite pedestals—a central statue of Oliver P. Morton flanked by two Union soldiers—along with bronze reliefs, plaques, and flanking balustrades within the designated 'Morton Plaza.'

When Indianapolis stops being the backdrop and becomes the game

There is a difference between passing through Indianapolis and feeling part of what happens there. Operation Indianapolis closes that gap by turning the city around you into the setting for a spy story. A detail that looked ordinary a moment ago may become the clue your team needs next.

The experience gives your group momentum. One discovery leads to a theory, one theory leads to a decision, and every decision moves the story forward. You are still exploring the real city, but now you have a reason to pay attention, compare perspectives, and notice the moments that a conventional sightseeing checklist can miss.

Choose the version of the day that suits you. Join an open team and meet people through the mission, reserve privately for your own group, or make it an adventure for two. Every format supports 2–6 players and puts the experience—not a tour guide—at the center of your time in Indianapolis.

What happens after you step into the story

Your phone introduces the experience, but it does not replace the people beside you. During the 3-hour adventure, the group observes, talks, tests ideas, and chooses how to respond. There is no live guide carrying the conversation or solving the uncertain moments. The satisfying part is working them out together.

Bring a charged phone and prepare to explore the destination. Give each player room to notice something, challenge an assumption, or suggest the next move. The Quest becomes more engaging when the group shares the investigation instead of handing every decision to one person.

The route and missions remain undisclosed until play begins, so the discoveries still feel like discoveries. Use the published Quest page for current booking details, then arrive ready to see Indianapolis with a different kind of attention.
