The city you know, with a story running underneath it

There is a difference between passing through Ithaca and getting properly caught up in it. Ithaca Spycraft 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

🔍

The city becomes the game

Ithaca stops being scenery. The streets around you are where the case plays out.

🔍

No guide, no clipboard

Nobody leads you round or talks at you. Your team decides where to go and how long to linger.

🔍

However you want to play

Bring your own group, join a team on the day, or play as a pair. Teams run up to 6.

A glimpse of Ithaca

🔍

Allan H. Treman State Marine Park

Allan H. Treman State Marine Park is a 91-acre New York state park and marina located at the south end of Cayuga Lake in Ithaca, offering an eight-lane boat launch, a marina with over 400 boat slips, fishing, birdwatching, and picnic facilities. It is operated by the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and is open year-round.

🔍

First Baptist Church of Ithaca

First Baptist Church is an inclusive, LGBTQ+ friendly Baptist congregation in downtown Ithaca, NY, located at 309 N. Cayuga St. The community embraces the Baptist tradition and centers social and ecological justice guided by Jesus' teachings.

When Ithaca stops being the backdrop

Ithaca Spycraft 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 Ithaca differently.
