The chilly air at 7,880 feet wakes your senses before the hunt begins: pine resin, cold lake glass, the distant rumble of an avalanche gate on Mammoth Mountain. You stand outside the starting point with your phone in hand while a remote live host greets your team and releases the first clue. The game moves at your pace — a brisk walk between lakeside waypoints or a quick drive to an offbeat mural — alternating indoor puzzles with outdoor photo challenges.

Mammoth Lakes sits on a mosaic of volcanic flows and glacially carved basins. The surrounding Sierra Nevada rose as lava and hardened into domes, then glaciers sculpted the lakes and cirques visitors now explore. The town’s culture blends summer anglers and winter riders, with a long local history tied to the Mono people and the later mining and ski communities.
Expect two hours of clue-solving and light exploration: 120 minutes of walking, short drives, and photo-based tasks. The experience is family- and dog-friendly and fully remote — you’ll need a domestic phone or WhatsApp number to receive real-time prompts and upload photos. The course is wheelchair- and stroller-accessible in many spots but includes intermittent uneven sidewalks and short gravel stretches. Altitude is real here: hydrate, move deliberately, and give extra time for any uphill sections.
Practical tip: charge your phone, wear supportive shoes, and plan logistics if you’ll drive between checkpoints. The hunt is as much about noticing small local details — a steam vent at Hot Creek, a quiet shoreline at Twin Lakes — as it is about racing the clock.
You need a domestic phone or WhatsApp number to receive clues and send photos; international guests can use WhatsApp where supported.
The hunt lasts about 120 minutes and begins at a scenic central meeting point in town — exact start instructions are provided after booking.
