What is a 5 Wits Adventure?


A 5 Wits adventure is a cutting-edge, live-action entertainment venue that immerses participants in realistic, hands-on adventures, challenging them to prove they have what it takes to battle a giant squid (20,000 Leagues) or save the world (Espionage)!


What 5 Wits Adventures are currently available and where? 


5 Wits currently has two locations:


Espionage and 20,000 Leagues are currently available at Patriot Place in Foxboro, MA! In Espionage, you’ll be trained as spies, infiltrating and taking down an evil corporation determined to stop you at every turn. In 20,000 Leagues you’ll get caught up in the riddle of Captain Nemo's lost ship when your "tour group" accidentally discovers the Nautilus. A trained cast member accompanies each expedition, but make no mistake, you are the star of the show! 


Espionage and TOMB are currently available in Destiny, USA in Syracuse, NY! In Espionage, you’ll be trained as spies, infiltrating and taking down a mysterious villain in his secret lair. In TOMB you’ll be trapped in an ancient Egyptian tomb fighting for your life against an angry Pharaoh! These adventures are self-guided, so you’ll need to use your skills and wits to make it out alive! Two additional adventures are coming soon to our Syracuse location.


What do you mean by "immerse you?" How physical is it? What should I wear?


Each adventure is in a self-contained, physical space that requires your hands-on interaction to progress. Every show has multiple rooms, with several unique puzzles to discover as you travel through them. However, you'll never be forced to do anything beyond your physical ability, whatever that may be. While our shows require your physical interaction, at no time will you be diving out of the way of boulders, climbing cargo nets or swimming through tunnels! Your group will always have a guide present, and while they are paid to stay out of your way, they can step in to lend a hand at any time. Our only dress recommendations are closed toe shoes and comfortable clothing.


How long are the shows? How often do they start? How many people in a group?


Our adventures are just under an hour long, depending on your group's performance, and new shows usually begin 15 to 30 minutes throughout the day, based on demand. As one group moves deeper into their exploration, a new group can enter. In this way we can accommodate very large groups with rolling starts, and can take up to 15 people on each expedition.


Where are you located? How do I get there?


Both Espionage and 20,000 Leagues are located at Patriot Place, next to CBS Scene. Using Google maps for Patriot Place can provide you with excellent, up-to-date driving directions.


Are your adventures scary? What ages are they appropriate for?


While each of our family friendly adventures is designed to be intense, they are intended to thrill and challenge, not to frighten you. There are some moments of temporary darkness and some loud sound effects in each experience, so we suggest that parents of young children, generally below the age of 7, should use their discretion.


While a 5 Wits' experience is appropriate for all ages, an expedition full of adults is very different than an expedition full of children. The challenges are difficult and exciting for adults, and the guide that attends every show can aid children in their exploration of our spaces and puzzles. We work hard to make sure everyone has an exceptional experience and our staff is always happy to make recommendations on the best days and times that would suit your friends or family.


What does 5 Wits mean?


It means the most immersive, exciting entertainment of your life, but that's probably not what you meant, right? The name actually comes from Shakespearean times. The five wits were said to be Imagination, Estimation, Fantasy, Common Sense, and Memory... all aspects that make an appearance in our adventures. Folks also associated the name with the five senses, which is appropriate, because you'll use those here too!
