Streetlights blink as you open the app and the map of Fort Wayne unfolds beneath your thumb. The game drops you into familiar blocks turned unfamiliar — a library that suddenly hides a clue, a market stall that doubles as a supply cache — and asks you to think like a survivor. It’s less about running and more about reading the city: patterns of streets, public art, and storefronts become checkpoints that reward curiosity and quick planning.

It’s less about running and more about reading the city: patterns of streets, public art, and storefronts become checkpoints that reward curiosity and quick planning.
Fort Wayne’s downtown grew from a 19th-century trading post at the confluence of three rivers; its grid and riverfront parklands still guide how you move. The limestone beneath the city gave way to canals and rail corridors that shaped neighborhoods you’ll explore on foot. Cultural notes surface in surprises — a public mural, a 20th-century theater façade, or a corner deli offering local flavor — that anchor the scavenger hunt in place as much as chase.
Practically, the experience is self-guided and app-driven: you choose your route, tackle zombie-themed challenges for points, and consult a remote host if needed. Wear comfortable walking shoes; downtown sidewalks and occasional grassy park edges mean mixed urban terrain. Aim for an hour window when businesses are open if you want to interact with staff or touch physical props, or evenings if you prefer cooler temperatures and lit architecture. Keep your phone charged and a portable battery handy; the game is phone-first. Bring a small bottle of water and dress for weather — Fort Wayne can be hot and humid in summer and sharply cold in winter.
This scavenger hunt rewards strategy and local observation more than speed. Whether you’re with friends, family, or a mixed-age group, expect a brisk urban walk, a few clever puzzles, and a new way to notice a Midwestern city you thought you knew.
