The Headlands Gamble

What a wondrous and memorable weekend! Jonathan b. and Darcy N. describe the experience well, so rather than just repeat their comments, I’ll add that…
The Headlands Gamble was unlike any other trip I’ve taken. In addition to the engaging and exciting experience of being a main character in an intricate and compelling piece of interactive theater /​real-​world game, it was also a totally unique *travel* experience. The best way I can describe it is that it’s like being on a roller coaster — not in the usual sense of abrupt highs and lows, but rather that it felt like we were being pulled from one beautiful vista, fantastic meal, or novel experience to the next with no knowledge of what was around the corner, and when it was over we felt exuberant and happy.
Highly recommended!

Spent the weekend with my girlfriend crisscrossing Marin and exploring small towns that time seems to have forgotten. What for, you ask? The Headlands Gamble, a fully curated weekend for two, solving a mystery. It was an absolutely astonishing feat of choose-​your-​own-​adventure storytelling, with sumptuous experiences around every corner, including lodging, real-​life characters, and clues everywhere.
Its been impossible to try to describe to friends what the weekend was like and yet I wish I could! First of all, its a secret. Second, this kind of experience is so new: its hard to to explain how you feel *in* it more than any other kind of performance.
One of the best aspects, which helped my girlfriend relax, is that while there are amazing characters who we interacted with, we didn’t have to act like anyone other than ourselves. The tour agency made us feel at home being ourselves, which actually freed us up to engage everything more fully.
Last thing: its also a culinary treat. The dishes and drinks were compelling. I think we had (almost) as much fun meeting the real residents/​servers/​barkeeps of these hidden away places as solving the mystery.
Big hells yes.

The Headlands Gamble is a weekend of fun, mystery and unbelievably gorgeous sights. From the start of our adventure, my partner and I weren’t exactly sure what to expect, but by Sunday evening our expectations were most definitely exceeded. The blend of technical elements, great characters and mind boggling logistics made for a once-​in-​a-​lifetime experience. First Person Travel was exceptionally accommodating and professional, while maintaining a truly personal touch.
If you are looking for something more than the same old boring date or anniversary ideas, or if you and your bff just want to try something different, look no further. The Headlands Gamble is worth every cent.
A quick caveat: if you use assistive devices to get around, be up front about that, as there were definitely non-​ADA friendly portions during the weekend. I’m confident First Person Travel would be able to make things work smoothly, but I figure a heads up is warranted. As a slightly mobility-​impaired person I struggled a little, but it was absolutely worth it.
tl;dr — ¹⁰⁄₁₀ would adventure again!
