Turn downtown Calgary into an apocalyptic playground: a one-hour, app-driven scavenger hunt where teams locate survival items and complete zombie-themed challenges while a remote host watches your score. Fast-paced, family-friendly, and rooted in the city’s streets, history, and public art.

A mid-afternoon breeze off the Bow River pushes through downtown Calgary, and the city’s grid becomes a playground for a different kind of expedition. Participants open an app, get a ping from a remote host, and scatter: through glass-fronted plazas, past century-old brick storefronts on Stephen Avenue, across public squares where street art dares you to look twice.
