Description

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Denver on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time. • Puzzle your way past the East 2 West Source Point sculpture, the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, and the Colorado State Capitol with its gold-leafed dome • Start whenever you like, walk at your own speed, and take a detour into Larimer Square whenever the mood strikes • Works great for couples, friends, and families — the scoring system adds some friendly competition to the mix Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English and Spanish. At 5,280 feet above sea level, even the riddles might leave you a little breathless.

Family fun and great way to get to know the city

We had a great time exploring the city. Both of our kids (14 and 24) really enjoyed the ability to participate and help fund the points of interest and answer the trivia questions.

A great time had by all!

Our family did this today in Denver. What a fun experience! It was a lot of walking though. Be sure to take some water with you and wear your walking shoes. We ranged from aged 14 to age 58 in our group and had a blast! Would recommend to all. Looking to do in other cities!

Say hi along the way!

It was a fun and leisurely way to see some beautiful architecture and learn about the city’s history. We made our own pitstop at the very cool Populus hotel on the route for great cocktails. Would definitely recommend this tour for adults, or younger folks who are good with ‘stop and read’ sites/activities. We talked with several locals as we went - super friendly.

Well worth the price!

This was a fun way to explore downtown Denver on our first day here. It was absolutely perfect. Very much enjoyed it and considering doing this in other cities that I visit. Well worth the $7! And got some good exercise in the process.

Good fun.

It was a great experience with my family. A nice way to see the city on foot. Ran into a street fair and that was unique. Overall a lot of walking.
