You step off a broad sidewalk, the Big Sioux River murmuring nearby and the city’s limestone buildings sliding past your screen as the app cues the first challenge. Sioux Falls feels immediate here — public art around every corner, the distant rush of Falls Park, and the hum of Main Avenue. The scavenger hunt routes loop through parks, historic blocks, and riverfront stretches, inviting quick detours to local murals and hidden plaques.

You step off a broad sidewalk, the Big Sioux River murmuring nearby and the city’s limestone buildings sliding past your screen as the app cues the first challenge. Sioux Falls feels immediate here — public art around every corner, the distant rush of Falls Park, and the hum of Main Avenue. The scavenger hunt routes loop through parks, historic blocks, and riverfront stretches, inviting quick detours to local murals and hidden plaques.
Sioux Falls grew around the waterfall on the Big Sioux River; that geology — durable Sioux quartzite and softer limestone — shaped mill sites and the grid of streets you'll navigate. Culturally, the city mixes Midwestern civic pride with an emerging arts scene: downtown SculptureWalk, the Pettigrew Home, and neighborhood cafes offer context between photo-based clues.
Practically, the game runs through an app with a remote host available via chat. Teams photograph items or perform light challenges to score points; puzzles can be completed in any order over a roughly two-hour loop. Terrain is urban: paved sidewalks, short staircases, and occasional park paths with modest elevation change. Expect 1.5–3 miles of walking depending on your route and detours.
Bring a charged smartphone, comfortable walking shoes, and a small water bottle. Aim for morning or early evening to avoid midday heat in summer and to catch softer light for photos. The hunt is family-friendly and accessible, but check the message from the host before you start. Move at your own pace, respect private property, and enjoy rediscovering Sioux Falls one clever clue at a time.

Stay on sidewalks and marked park trails, pack out trash, and avoid feeding wildlife to protect riparian habitat and the river’s health.
