You step off the curb and the city becomes a playing field — storefront windows double as clues, brick alleys dare you to look closer, and the Speed River hums like a deadline. This one-hour, app-driven scavenger hunt turns downtown Guelph into a live puzzle where teams gather “survival” items, complete zombie-themed challenges and race a national scoreboard while a remote host follows along via chat.
Guelph’s story—laid out by John Galt in 1827—shows in the red-brick Main Street and the compact grid that makes the hunt efficient and lively. River terraces and the thin bands of urban green are the area’s subtle geology; you’ll cross streets that follow shallow valleys carved toward the Grand River watershed. Cultural touchpoints such as the century-old market and the University of Guelph’s arboretum give the route variety and local color.
Practically speaking, the game is self-guided and designed for all fitness levels: expect mostly flat pavement, short walking bursts, and an hour-long time limit. Use the app to track points, communicate with your remote host, and compare scores with teams across the country. The activity is stroller-accessible and allows service animals; plan for foot traffic and occasional busy intersections.
Bring a fully charged phone, wear comfortable shoes, and choose a start time that avoids lunch rushes. The experience is social, fast-paced, and urban — a compact way to explore Guelph’s streets while competing to “survive the apocalypse.”

Stick to sidewalks and marked pathways, dispose of waste properly, and respect riverbanks—urban hunts should minimize impact on local greenspaces and waterways.
