The city exhales fog off the estuary and the streets feel like a map with a pulse. With your phone in hand, you and your team fan out from a chosen starting block, chasing scavenger items and timed zombie challenges.

Oakland wears history in its architecture and street names: the port city that grew up during the Gold Rush, shaped by Jack London’s waterfront and the industrial corridors that fed the Bay. The hills behind the grid are ancient sediment and shale; the flatlands trace old wetlands now reshaped into parks and marinas. Local culture threads through the game — stop to read a plaque, spot a neighborhood mural, or weave past a farmers’ market on your route.
This scavenger hunt is a one-hour, app-led, self-guided walking activity suited to people of all ages and fitness levels. Expect roughly 1–3 miles of walking depending on your route and pace. Practical notes: charge your phone, wear comfortable shoes, and plan a route that keeps you on public streets and open spaces — respect private property and posted signs. The game is stroller- and pet-friendly (service animals allowed) and best timed outside peak commute hours for clearer sidewalks. If you don’t receive the start message, contact the remote host before you begin. Finish with a score and compare nationally — it’s as much about strategy and observation as speed.
