Turn downtown Sioux Falls into your playground with an app-led scavenger hunt. Compete for the crown, solve photo challenges, and explore Falls Park, murals, and hidden corners at your own pace.
You step off Main Street with your phone in hand and the Big Sioux River’s cascade nudging the downtown rhythm — the falls dare you to look up from the screen, and the city answers with murals, statues, and unexpected corners. Wacky Walks turns that energy into a playful contest: your group rotates a King or Queen role, completes photo challenges and item hunts across the city, and racks up points while the app keeps score and a remote host is only a chat away.

You step off Main Street with your phone in hand and the Big Sioux River’s cascade nudging the downtown rhythm — the falls dare you to look up from the screen, and the city answers with murals, statues, and unexpected corners. Wacky Walks turns that energy into a playful contest: your group rotates a King or Queen role, completes photo challenges and item hunts across the city, and racks up points while the app keeps score and a remote host is only a chat away.
Sioux Falls grew around these drops in the mid-19th century; the falls themselves run over hardy Sioux Quartzite, pink-gray rock that has resisted the river’s push for eons and gave the town a mill and later hydro power. Cultural highlights near typical routes include Falls Park, the Cathedral of Saint Joseph, and the James River Greenway, each offering a mix of public art, local history, and civic life rather than a formal guided history lesson.
Practically, expect 1–3 miles of walking depending on how far you chase clues, mostly on sidewalks and paved park paths with occasional stairs. The game is child- and stroller-friendly and allows service animals; there’s no set time limit so groups can linger at cafes or skip sections. Bring a charged smartphone, comfortable shoes, and a small power bank — battery life is the limiting factor more than distance. Aim for morning or early evening on weekends to avoid heavy foot traffic, and use public transit or downtown parking garages if driving. This is a low-impact, social urban adventure that turns a city stroll into a competitive, photo-driven game.
