Turn Houston into a playground with an app‑led scavenger hunt that guides teams past public art, historic markers, and waterfront paths. Self‑guided and social, the 90–120 minute route blends local history with photo challenges and low‑impact urban exploration.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The sun glances off Houston’s glass and brick as your group unlocks the first riddle on a phone screen. You step from sidewalk to plaza, past murals that keep their secrets and a bayou that seems to dare you to explore its edges. The city hums — traffic, conversation, the distant splash of water in a park — and the app turns unfamiliar streets into a gameboard where plaques, statues and alleyway art become checkpoints.
