You step out onto a brisk street in Fort McMurray with your phone buzzing and a list of absurdly useful items: bandages, canned food, a flashlight.

Fort McMurray sits on the northern reaches of Alberta’s boreal plain, where river channels and glacial deposits shaped the landscape long before oil changed its economy. The city grew rapidly in the 20th century alongside Indigenous communities and later the oil sands industry, creating a mix of modern infrastructure and river-front parks. Running a scavenger hunt here highlights both civic spaces and local culture: expect murals, heritage plaques, and the practical grit of a working town.
The experience is a one-hour, self-guided walking game using a mobile app; it blends light urban exploration with timed challenges and point-scoring. Bring a charged phone, comfortable shoes, and an eye for detail. Play in small teams to strategize routes and tasks; your remote host is available by chat if you stall.
Timing matters—late afternoon light brings clearer shadows for reading clues, while winter days are short and require warmer layers. Public transit serves central areas, but much of the route is walkable. This is a social, accessible way to learn the city’s corners while testing speed, observation and teamwork.
Yes—the experience is run through the Zombie Scavengers mobile app which delivers clues, tracks points and connects you with a remote host.
