For an hour the ordinary downtown becomes a map of survival: grocery-store clues, historical markers turned into checkpoints, and neighborhood alleys hiding points that will keep you one step ahead of the fictional undead.

You step out onto Salem’s brick sidewalks with your phone in hand and the Capitol dome ahead, the city’s low hills and the Willamette River framing the route. For an hour the ordinary downtown becomes a map of survival: grocery-store clues, historical markers turned into checkpoints, and neighborhood alleys hiding points that will keep you one step ahead of the fictional undead.
Salem, Oregon’s capital since statehood, sits in the fertile Willamette Valley where river channels carved the landscape and pioneer-era buildings mark the downtown grid. The game leans on the city’s cultural mix — civic buildings, Victorian homes, and busy parks — to create challenges that are as much about observation as speed. The Willamette dares you to look away from the water; the riverfront park and Bush’s Pasture Park offer quiet contrasts to busy streets.
Practical guidance: this is a self-guided, app-based walking activity designed for roughly 60 minutes on mostly flat, paved surfaces. A remote host monitors chat for questions and scoring updates. Plan a loop that minimizes backtracking: prioritize high-point items first, then grab quick-scoring challenges. Wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a charged phone — the app is central to finding items and submitting challenge responses.
Expect light urban navigation, short sprints between targets, and crowds on weekends. Ideal for groups who want competitive fun with minimal logistics — no guide on-site, just local streets turned into a strategy game.
