Morning light lifts off the pines and a lake breeze pushes you toward town — the app pings, a clue unlocks, and your team leans into the map.

Set in Big Bear Lake (elevation ~6,752 ft) in the San Bernardino Mountains, the route blends recent resort history, Serrano indigenous heritage, and logging-era stories with the area's glacial-and-fault sculpted geology. Expect to learn neighborhood anecdotes and spot architecture from early 20th-century tourism booms as you walk.
The game covers roughly 2 miles over about 3 hours, designed for teams of 2–4 using one smartphone. It’s dog friendly and wheelchair accessible because no indoor stops are required. The experience is app- and GPS-driven: pins open sequentially and loop back to the start, so navigation and teamwork matter as much as speed.
Practical edge: charge your phone fully, enable location services, download any offline map tiles if uncertain about reception, and set a realistic pace — altitude makes hills feel steeper. Wear grippy shoes and bring small bills or a card if you detour into cafés afterward. For groups larger than one team, contact Riddle Routes ahead for coordination. Play any time; the app delivers directions after purchase and provides phone support if you get stuck.
