Santa Rosa Zombie Scavenger Hunt — Citywide Apocalypse Adventure

THE ADVENTURE COLLECTIVE® · Independent discovery and booking for outdoor travel

Read the full experience

The game begins on a sun-warmed sidewalk in downtown Santa Rosa, phone in hand and a digital map that dares you to outrun a fictional horde. The app nudges teams toward alleys, parks and storefronts, turning ordinary errands into targeted missions: find a flashlight, complete a zombie-themed task, trade points for survival. Streets take on urgency; a creek murmurs like a watchful guide as teams weave between murals and century-old brick buildings.
