You step off the sidewalk into a bright, labyrinthine downtown where palms lean like curious spectators and the New River dares you to look for its bridges. The hunt begins on a smartphone screen: a riddle, a checkpoint, a challenge. Teams scatter, cameras snap, and the city—its murals, courtyards, and seafront angles—becomes a living gameboard.

You step off the sidewalk into a bright, labyrinthine downtown where palms lean like curious spectators and the New River dares you to look for its bridges. The hunt begins on a smartphone screen: a riddle, a checkpoint, a challenge. Teams scatter, cameras snap, and the city—its murals, courtyards, and seafront angles—becomes a living gameboard.
Fort Lauderdale was a trading and maritime hub long before it became a beach city; its grid and canals reflect layers of growth from Seminole villages to 20th-century development. Geologically, the region sits on limestone bedrock with sandy fills that shaped its canals and shoreline; culturally the city wears yachts, Latin rhythms, and arts-district grit on its sleeve. Expect art deco storefronts, public murals, and pockets of local coffee culture between riverwalk promenades.
Practical guidance: the game runs about two hours and covers a flexible downtown loop—wear comfortable walking shoes and bring a charged phone with data. Traffic and narrow sidewalks mean you’ll need to pause often; use crosswalks and obey local signals. The app gives riddles and photo challenges you can tackle in any order, and a remote host is available via chat if you get stuck.
Timing is everything: morning and late afternoon avoid the midday heat and give softer light for photos. Hydrate, protect your skin, and factor in a café stop to regroup. Whether you’re competing for points or just exploring, the scavenger hunt turns Fort Lauderdale’s streets into a paced, playful exploration of city life.
You’ll receive a message with instructions and a link before your scheduled start; follow the link on your smartphone to launch the game and begin at the designated downtown area.
Yes—infants and small children can use strollers, and challenges can be adapted, but adult supervision is recommended near traffic and canals.
The game runs on a two-hour window but you can complete stops in any order; points are scored for photos and challenges rather than strictly timed speed.
A remote host is available via the app’s chat feature to provide hints and troubleshoot issues while you play.
