This self-guided scavenger hunt threads roughly one mile through downtown Flagstaff, a compact walk that covers 17 smartphone-led challenges. It’s a hybrid of history and puzzle: route markers lead you past Heritage Square, the Downtowner, the old Babbitt Bros. building and local murals while clues coax out facts about Flagstaff’s railroad roots, Route 66 heyday, and its place on the Colorado Plateau.
Geology is never far—Flagstaff sits beneath the San Francisco Peaks, volcanic ridgelines that have shaped local stone and soil for millennia. Culturally, the town blends mountain-resort energy with deep Indigenous connections; Indigenous peoples and early settlers shaped the trails and trade routes you cross as you play.
Practical side: the game is mobile-only and runs on your phone, so arrive with a charged battery and good data or offline access. The tour starts and ends at the public parking garage at 111 N San Francisco Street and is designed for groups of 2–6, taking about 60–90 minutes at an easy pace. Scenic stops provide photo ops; shaded benches offer rest. Wear comfortable shoes, carry water, and allow time to pop into shops or cafés you discover along the way.
