Walk into Kelowna’s winter light and the city shifts into a playful scavenger course: storefronts compete for sparkle, the lakeshore breathes cold blue, and every side street hides a prompt on your phone.
The Holly Jolly Hunt is an app-driven scavenger hunt that turns downtown Kelowna into a timed holiday challenge. The game asks teams to photograph seasonal items, complete short challenges and rack up points on a live leaderboard. The setting is the Okanagan Valley’s urban center—on land long stewarded by the Syilx (Okanagan) people—where fruit orchards and a growing wine culture shaped the town’s 19th–20th century growth. The city sits on glacially-influenced lakeshore terraces, so expect flat waterfront promenades and older brick commercial blocks to frame your route.
Culturally, Kelowna mixes outdoor recreation with food-and-drink culture: farmers’ markets and small winery tasting rooms dot neighborhoods you might explore between clues. The scavenger hunt is family- and team-friendly, accessible with a stroller and playable in most weather; it’s designed for light walking on paved city streets.
Practical guide: download the Holly Jolly Hunt app and pre-load any required assets, charge your phone, and plan for about an hour of walking between stops. Bring a weather layer and waterproof shoes in wet months. Start near Waterfront Park for easy transit access and aim for late afternoon if you want lights and fewer crowds. The experience is self-guided—read clues carefully, respect private property, and treat public spaces with Leave No Trace common sense.
