The pavement of Civic Center Park cools underfoot as you tap ‘start’ on your phone and the city leans in—buses sigh, pigeons thread alleys, and the stone face of the Colorado State Capitol watches. This Mile-High Ghost Hunt turns Denver’s landmarks into a playable map of riddles, photo challenges and local lore, sending teams through Capitol Hill, the Brown Palace’s marble shadow, and the Victorian streets near the Byers-Evans House.
