The morning air in Franklinton feels like a prompt: murals lean forward, alleys dare you to look closer, and the Scioto tugs at the neighborhood’s western edge. On this app-led art walk, teams thread through blocks of street art and repurposed warehouses, solving trivia and completing photo challenges that reward curiosity as much as speed.
Franklinton is Columbus’s oldest neighborhood, founded in the late 18th century, later reshaped by industry, floods, and creative reinvention. The walk moves across layered surfaces — concrete floodplain, brick storefronts, and public art — that reveal both geological lowlands and a cultural push to reclaim post-industrial space. Local insight: murals often mark community projects, and small galleries open on weekends.
Practical guidance is straightforward: the hunt is self-guided via Let’s Roam’s mobile app and runs about 1.5–2 hours. Expect 1–2 miles of walking on flat urban streets with occasional uneven sidewalk and crosswalk navigation. Teams receive timed photo prompts, trivia tied to plaques and sculptures, and scoring that favors inventive photos. Start when daylight is good; evenings bring more nightlife but less reliable photo lighting.
Bring a charged phone, comfortable walking shoes, and a small backup battery. Plan for transit or limited street parking, and allow extra time for a coffee stop at a local café. The app handles route cues and answers, so participants focus on observation, not navigation. For groups, stagger roles—navigator, photographer, clue-solver—to move efficiently and get the full experience.
Download the Let’s Roam app, redeem your voucher under “3rd Party Vouchers,” choose the Franklinton hunt, and start any time—no guide required.
Much of the route follows sidewalks and is listed as wheelchair accessible, but expect occasional curb cuts and uneven surfaces; check specific blocks in the app before starting.
The app supports multiple players and devices; larger groups can split into teams for competitive scoring—one voucher covers one booking as noted in the ticket details.
The app gives hints and Let’s Roam provides customer support; you can also move on and return to challenges later since the hunt is self-paced.
Let's Roam operates guided outdoor trips and adventures with an emphasis on safety, stewardship, and memorable experiences.
