You start outside a local favorite — phone in hand, the city unfolding in blocks and murals. The remote host greets your team over text and a digital packet appears: a string of clues, creative challenges, and points to earn. Teams scatter on foot or by car, chasing oddities, snapping required photos, and asking strangers short questions to unlock the next hint.

Austin’s downtown grew from a frontier town to a state capital and music hub; the scavenger hunt routes often highlight historic storefronts and murals that reflect the city’s evolving identity.
Conservation
Players are asked to respect private property, avoid littering, and stick to designated paths; protecting riparian zones along Lady Bird Lake helps local wildlife and keeps public areas healthy.
