History
Downtown LA’s Historic Core grew rapidly from the late 1800s, leaving behind ornate theaters, Olvera Street’s Mexican marketplace and commercial arcades that still shape the urban fabric.
Conservation
Urban scavenger hunts have a light footprint if participants stay on public sidewalks, respect private property and support local businesses rather than leaving litter.
Reserve your spot on the Los Angeles Scavenger Hunt by Crazy Dash today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Charge your phone and enable data
The game runs through an app and messages from a remote host — start with a full battery or a portable charger to avoid interruptions.
Start early to avoid heat
Downtown pavement heats up by midday in summer; morning starts are cooler and quieter for faster walking and better photos.
Use public transit or set a clear meet-up spot
Parking near the central business district is limited — pick a nearby Metro stop or a recognizable plaza for arrivals and departures.
Split roles within your team
Assign a navigator, a scorer and a photographer to move efficiently through timed challenges and maximize points.
Smartphone with charged battery
Required to run the app, receive host messages and submit photo challenges.
Portable battery pack
Keeps your phone powered through two hours of app use, photos and GPS.
Comfortable walking shoes
Supportive shoes help you move quickly across sidewalks and short runs between checkpoints.
Hydration bottle and sun protection
A small water bottle and sunscreen keep you comfortable during warm months.
