Downtown Salt Lake City glows against the dark shoulder of the Wasatch Range, storefront lights blinking like stamps on a postcard. You tap open the Holly Jolly Hunt app and the city becomes a playground: Temple Square's seasonal displays, decorated storefronts along Main Street, and small alleys that hide pop-up décor. The air can be crisp, the sidewalks busy, and the mountains watch from the east as teams dispatch with a tap.

Downtown Salt Lake City glows against the dark shoulder of the Wasatch Range, storefront lights blinking like stamps on a postcard. You tap open the Holly Jolly Hunt app and the city becomes a playground: Temple Square's seasonal displays, decorated storefronts along Main Street, and small alleys that hide pop-up décor. The air can be crisp, the sidewalks busy, and the mountains watch from the east as teams dispatch with a tap.
Salt Lake City sits on lake-bed sediments from the prehistoric Lake Bonneville and was settled by Mormon pioneers in 1847; those two facts shape the downtown grid and many landmarks you'll encounter. Holiday culture here is pragmatic and community-driven—from public light displays to neighborhood tree-lighting ceremonies. The scavenger hunt threads through civic spaces, historic facades, and local merchants, offering surface-level history and opportunities to support small businesses.
Practically, the Holly Jolly Hunt is self-guided: you'll receive start instructions by message, then use the app to photograph items, complete challenges, and track scores on a leaderboard. Expect about 60 minutes of light walking on paved surfaces; stroller- and transit-friendly. Bring a charged smartphone, a small battery pack, and weather-appropriate layers—Salt Lake winters bite, while early evenings are best for lights. Plan for public-transport connections (TRAX and buses) if you want to extend the route, and aim for a weekday evening or weekend late-afternoon to avoid peak holiday crowds. The app includes chat support if you need remote help before or during your game.
