Get ready to think like detectives, move like a team, and laugh like old friends. Art Heist is an immersive, app-powered adventure set along the Century City Art Trail where the streets become your playground and every piece of public art hides a clue.

Guided by GPS, your team will explore the trail at your own pace, moving from one artwork to the next while solving themed challenges and unlocking the mystery left behind by the elusive art thief, Vincent Noir.

At each location, you’ll face a mix of brain-teasing trivia, creative photo missions, and lighthearted “get to know you” prompts that bring your group closer together. You won’t just look at art, you’ll interact with it, reimagine it, and bring the story to life in clever and often hilarious ways.

As you collect points and clues, your team must work together to crack the case. Keep your eyes peeled — a twist at the end might just change everything.

This isn’t just a scavenger hunt. It’s a team-building experience where culture, creativity, and collaboration come together in one unforgettable day out.
