How it works

The Chase - How to play

Getting Started

• Everyone meets at Sergels torg (T-Centralen) to begin.

• Players split into one Escaper team and three Chaser teams, each with 1–4 players.

• Teams must stay together at all times.

• Chaser teams work together to find the Escapers.

• Your're only allowed to take public transport and walk by foot

The game is about strategy, smart use of transportation, and teamwork—not running fast!

Winning

• Chasers win if they catch the Escapers (within talking distance).

• Escapers win if they remain uncaught for the full game.

• The game lasts 2 hours (Unless the Escapers get caught earlier...)

Whats needed?

• App downloaded on device (at least once per team)

• Messanger Group for escapers to communicate (e.g. WhatsApp,...)

• Public transport ticket (SL)

Game phases

The game naturally progresses in three phases:

1. Head Start – Escapers can start moving immediately. Chasers get a short head start before pursuing.

2. Chase – Both sides use strategy and Clue Points to gain advantages.

3. Closing In – In the final stage, Escapers move on foot only. Plan carefully!

Clue Points

Clue Points are strategic locations in the city. Activating them gives teams powerful advantages.

• Activation: Teams must physically visit the Clue Point and press Activate in the app.

• Usage: Each individual Clue Point can only be used once per game.

• Who is affected:

  • If a Chaser team activates a Clue Point, it affects the Escapers.

  • If the Escaper team activates a Clue Point, it affects all Chaser teams.

Types of Clue Points

• Freeze – The target team must stop moving for a short time. If frozen in transport, they must exit and confirm the freeze.

• Live Location – See where the target team is for a short while.

• Transport Clue – The target team reveals part of their transport route. If in a vehicle, reveal your current mode, start point, and last stop.

• Surveillance – Target team sends a 360° photo or video of their location. (Chasers only)

Using Clue Points wisely is key—once a Clue Point is activated, it can’t be used again.

Strategy Tips

Chasers

• Split up to cover more ground.

• Use Clue Points at critical moments to corner the Escapers.

• Think like an Escaper—predict where they’ll go next.

Escapers

• Activate Clue Points to gain insight on Chasers.

• Plan your final on-foot route carefully.

• Stay unpredictable—avoid patterns that make you easy to catch.

Rules & Fair Play

• Don’t enter museums, shops, or paid-access locations.

• Obey traffic rules and prioritize safety.

• Play fairly and respect other teams.
