Q: What is this exactly? I don't quite get it?
A: Somewhere Secret is most similar to an escape room or puzzle room. It is an interactive environment with a series of puzzles and riddles that must be solved to complete the game.

Q: Whoa, like real treasure? Where is the treasure hidden?
A: Yes, something amazing is hidden somewhere in Colorado, hints could be in Greeley, Loveland, Boulder or Fort Collins. Sadly, due to Colorado state law, this treasure has no monetary value. But it is truly something incredible to discover.

Players will need to be able to navigate a staircase as well as perform some light bending and crouching in order to fully explore.
