What is a  Escape Walk?

Think Escape Room, where you are locked in a room for a period of time and you have to solve clues and puzzles to get out of the room. An Escape Walk is the same principle but it's an "Escape Room without the walls" it's totally outdoors and takes you on an adventure through the town where you need to solve clues and puzzles to unlock the next clue using GPS Technology and scanning things that come to life on a provided iPad and is time based.  Not only do you get to have fun with family and friends you get to explore Port Macquarie in a different way, discovering places you may not usually venture to.
