You step out of the parking garage at 7 Whitaker Street with a charged phone and a map of squares in your head. Morning light slants across cobblestones; the Savannah River calls from the bluff and the live oaks shade the path, their limbs whispering over the squares. The scavenger hunt pulls you through alleys, past monuments and cafés, turning familiar streets into a series of small mysteries to solve.
Savannah’s street grid—laid out under James Oglethorpe in the 18th century—makes navigation playful: 22 historic squares, antebellum homes, and a riverfront built from ballast stones all appear as clues. Geologically this is the Coastal Plain: low, flat marshland shaped by tidal flow, and the Riverfront’s cobbles are reminders of Savannah’s maritime past. Culturally the city mixes Southern hospitality, maritime trade stories and Revolutionary- and Civil War-era sites; the hunt references those layers without requiring a formal guide.
Practical notes: the self-guided game runs on your smartphone, includes 24 challenges, suits groups of 2–6, and covers roughly 2 miles in about 2–3 hours. Expect uneven cobblestones, narrow sidewalks, and frequent stops for reading plaques or ducking into a courtyard. Start early or late to avoid summer humidity, wear sturdy shoes, and bring a power bank—the game is interactive and score-driven. No in-person guide means you set the pace: linger for coffee, take the riverwalk detour, and use the leaderboard to spark friendly competition. This is a compact urban exploration that teaches as it entertains—Savannah’s past is the map, and the city dares you to discover it on foot.

Savannah was planned in 1733 on a grid of public squares by James Oglethorpe; many buildings reflect colonial and antebellum eras tied to maritime trade.
Stay on sidewalks and avoid trampling lawns in historic squares; preserving plaques and monuments means no climbing or removing artifacts and minimizing litter keeps the riverfront clean.
