The rules are simple—find items, complete zombie-themed challenges, net points—and the clock tightens. You’ll move through blocks of street art, past cafes spilling steam onto the sidewalk, and by university façades that once hosted the Free Speech Movement.

Berkeley’s streets tell layered stories. Underfoot are deposits of Pleistocene sediments and the unseen scar of the Hayward Fault a few miles east. The city carries Ohlone roots, the 19th-century growth tied to the university, and a modern counterculture energy visible in independent bookstores and the Gourmet Ghetto.
This scavenger hunt leans into that civic texture. Expect pedestrian routes, quick sprints between challenges, and plenty of opportunities to interact with storefronts and public plazas. Your host is remote, guiding via chat; the experience is self-paced but time-boxed to about an hour.
Practical notes: download and test the app, bring a charged phone and a portable charger, wear comfortable walking shoes, and plan for public transit—Downtown Berkeley BART sits within easy reach. Play during daylight for easier navigation and to avoid restricting businesses. Keep belongings secure in crowded areas and respect private property and local businesses when performing challenges.
This is an urban, low-impact adventure—fast on feet, high on local color, and designed to make you see familiar streets as a survival playground.
