Race through downtown Manchester with a phone-led scavenger hunt that mixes photo challenges, local landmarks, and a leaderboard. Remote hosts guide teams as you collect survival items and complete zombie-themed tasks in this energetic urban game.
You begin on a gray paved square a few blocks from the Merrimack River, phone in hand and a score to chase. The app drops a list of oddball survival items and dares—snap a photo of a ‘safe house’ door, barter for canned food, or complete a zombie-themed task—while the city hums around you: buses, the distant clack of rail, and the steady sigh of the mills.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You begin on a gray paved square a few blocks from the Merrimack River, phone in hand and a score to chase. The app drops a list of oddball survival items and dares—snap a photo of a ‘safe house’ door, barter for canned food, or complete a zombie-themed task—while the city hums around you: buses, the distant clack of rail, and the steady sigh of the mills.
Manchester’s bones are industrial: brick mill buildings and the Amoskeag Falls shaped the city’s growth in the 19th century. The scavenger hunt routes skirt mill complexes, cross streets named for factory owners, and thread past locally run cafés and the SEE Science Center—small cultural cues that make the game feel like a crash course in local life rather than just a checklist.
Geology here is simple but present: the Merrimack carved the valley and set the mill sites; riverfront views reward short detours. Expect an urban rhythm—sidewalks, plazas, occasional staircases—and plenty of visual clues for photo-based challenges. A remote host monitors your progress via chat and pops in when teams need a nudge.
Practical guidance: budget about 60 minutes and 1–2 miles of walking. Bring a fully charged smartphone, a portable battery, and comfortable shoes; teams of 2–6 work best for movement and strategy. Start mid-morning or early evening to avoid peak pedestrian traffic and use public transit or street parking nearby. Keep an eye on weather—Manchester’s summers are warm, winters cold—and plan layers accordingly. The experience is low-impact and family-friendly, a fast-paced way to learn the city while racing to survive.

Local groups focus on Merrimack River cleanups and adaptive reuse of historic mill buildings to reduce development pressure and preserve the city’s industrial heritage.
