You step onto a broad sidewalk in downtown Hillsboro with your phone humming and a list of odd scavenger items under a fictional apocalypse — the city around you becomes a gameboard.
This one-hour, app-driven scavenger hunt threads through Hillsboro’s city blocks, from historic downtown storefronts to Orenco Station’s modern plazas. The game overlays playful zombie-themed challenges on real streets, asking you to locate everyday objects, complete photo tasks and outscore other teams while a remote host watches over the scoreboard via chat.
Hillsboro sits on the flat Willamette Valley plain, born of rivers and centuries of farming; its streets still show that agricultural past alongside the tech-era “Silicon Forest” campuses. Expect broad sidewalks, civic parks and public art as backdrops — geology here is gentle, not steep, so routes are mostly paved and stroller-friendly.
Practicalities matter: the hunt is self-guided, mobile-ticketed and best run with a charged smartphone, comfortable shoes and data access. Plan roughly 2–3 miles of walking in an hour depending on how much you detour; avoid rush-hour arterials and respect private property. Public transit and street parking make start points flexible, and the remote host provides troubleshooting through the app.
For families and groups, the scavenger format rewards strategy more than speed — prioritizing high-point challenges and using the chat help when clues stump you. Finish with a coffee at a local café or a short stroll along the Tualatin River to swap stories; the city’s mix of history and practical urbanism makes this playful survival game an efficient, memorable way to explore Hillsboro.
You’ll receive a message with start instructions and the app link before your scheduled time; contact the host if you don’t get it.
Yes — the activity is stroller-accessible and family-friendly, though some challenges may be easier for older kids.
No — the host is remote and supports teams via in-app chat; this is a self-guided experience.
The tour operator’s cancellation policy allows refunds if you cancel more than 24 hours in advance; otherwise plan for waterproof layers since the game proceeds in light rain.
