Robot Apocalypse: Journey to the End of the Night

About this event

Where: N Lincoln Park W, Chicago, IL 60614, United States Here’s the Plot to the Game "You cannot win. Humanity is obsolete." It’s still Chicago but it’s the year 2075 and you are on the run from killer robots. Your hideout has just been discovered. But you have a map with details about some safe secret locations (checkpoints) where you just might be able to take a rest and discover some secrets for survival. You just have to get to those locations before the robots tag you and turn you into one of their own! Since 2006, Journey to the End of the Night has delighted thousands of people all around the world as a challenge that pits your wits against the city streets.

The red one will go in your pocket. Beginning at 5:00pm you will follow the map across the city trying to make it to the secret checkpoints as quickly as you can. All the while you’ll be chased by robots wearing red ribbons. If you get caught, you will hand over your blue ribbon as a prize to the chaser. You will take the red ribbon out of your pocket and…
