The app drops your first clue; storefronts, parks and alleys become a gameboard and the city around you begins to suggest stories — a discarded soda can becomes a cache, a statue offers a riddle.

Operated by Zombie Scavengers Hunts · Murrieta, California
You start on a sun-warmed sidewalk in downtown Murrieta, phone in hand and a friendly remote host watching your progress. The app drops your first clue; storefronts, parks and alleys become a gameboard and the city around you begins to suggest stories — a discarded soda can becomes a cache, a statue offers a riddle. The pulse of an ordinary suburb turns tactical and playful.
Murrieta sits on the inland edge of Southern California’s Temecula Valley, where Quaternary alluvium and low hills give way to flat commercial corridors. The town grew quickly after the late 20th century real estate boom, but pockets of older downtown streets and the nearby Santa Rosa Plateau preserve a quieter, more historic feel. That contrast — modern sprawl against ranching heritage and scrub oak foothills — frames the hunt: urban grit with visible ties to regional landscapes.
Expect 45–75 minutes of walking at an easy pace, stopping to solve clues and complete themed challenges. Local culture leans family-friendly and community-oriented, so you’ll encounter cafés, parks and public art as checkpoints rather than wilderness obstacles.
Practical guidance: charge your phone fully and bring a portable battery pack; the game runs through a mobile app and uses GPS. Wear comfortable walking shoes and sun protection, and plan for shade breaks in warmer months. Teams should respect private property and local ordinances — the game is designed to be legal and public. Aim for early morning or late afternoon slots to avoid heat and catch the city at its most walkable.
