You start on cobblestones, salt air lifting off the harbor and gulls punctuating the skyline, phone in hand and a list of survival items to collect. The city becomes a game board: alleyways, seafood shacks, and the Old Port's brick facades transform into waypoints as you chase points and complete zombie-themed challenges.

You start on cobblestones, salt air lifting off the harbor and gulls punctuating the skyline, phone in hand and a list of survival items to collect. The city becomes a game board: alleyways, seafood shacks, and the Old Port's brick facades transform into waypoints as you chase points and complete zombie-themed challenges.
Portland's history is raw and visible here — a working port shaped by shipbuilding, trade, and the Great Fire of 1866. The coastline shows the scars of glaciers that gouged Casco Bay and left ledges and sheltered coves; the urban fabric grew around this rugged shore. Local culture mixes maritime grit with a thriving food and brewery scene, street art in East End alleys, and ferry routes that thread the islands offshore.
The scavenger hunt uses a mobile app to assign tasks and score finds; a remote host is available by chat during play. Expect 60 minutes of self-guided walking across mostly flat city streets, with intermittent stairs and narrow lanes. The game suits small groups and families, and rewards quick thinking and local curiosity more than speed — strategize to maximize points by prioritizing high-value items and in-app challenges.
Practical tips: download and test the app before you start, keep your battery topped up, and wear shoes that handle slick cobbles. Midday wind off the harbor can turn chilly; layer up. Public transit and parking are accessible, and the Old Port offers coffee and warming spots if you want to debrief after the apocalypse.
