Early light hits the glass facades of downtown Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Range watches from the east as teams fan out with phones in hand. The game drops you into streets that shift between granite-faced civic buildings and pocket parks; clues arrive as riddles, and the city’s details—an old bronze plaque, a quirky mural, a hidden sculpture—become objectives to capture and score.

Early light hits the glass facades of downtown Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Range watches from the east as teams fan out with phones in hand. The game drops you into streets that shift between granite-faced civic buildings and pocket parks; clues arrive as riddles, and the city’s details—an old bronze plaque, a quirky mural, a hidden sculpture—become objectives to capture and score.
Salt Lake City was laid out in 1847 by Mormon pioneers on a rigid grid, with Temple Square as its cultural center; the nearby Great Salt Lake and the uplifted Wasatch Range give the city its unique geography, where urban blocks sit under steep, limestone-capped ridgelines. The scavenger hunt threads through civic history (Capitol and courtyards), contemporary culture (art-lined alleys and independent cafés), and reclaimed public spaces that locals use for festivals and markets.
Practical guidance: the hunt is app-driven and lasts about two hours; play it as a brisk urban walk with frequent stops for photos and short challenges. Start early summer mornings to avoid heat, charge your phone fully, and wear supportive shoes for sidewalks and occasional stair climbs. Public transit (TRAX and buses) drops you near most start points, and the remote host can chat if you need hints. Respect private property and ongoing city events—many clues are found in public plazas or storefront fronts.
For groups, children, or mixed fitness levels the route is flexible—complete items in any order to tailor distance. Expect a mix of observation, silly photo prompts, and light local trivia: it’s as much about seeing the city differently as it is about leaderboard bragging rights.
