The city breathes around you — brick facades, ringing SEPTA cars, and murals that stare like watchful survivors — as your team opens the Zombie Scavengers app and accepts the first challenge.

The pace is conversational one moment, sprinting-for-points the next, with a remote host available to nudge teams or clarify rules.
Philadelphia’s streets are a living archive: you’ll encounter Revolutionary-era landmarks, mid-century industrial blocks, and pockets of contemporary street art. The game often routes through easy pedestrian corridors—think Old City or the blocks near Rittenhouse—where cobbles and trolley tracks remind you the city evolved in layers. Geologically flat with only modest slopes, the terrain favors quick foot travel rather than trail endurance; distances typically fall in the 1–3 mile range depending on your strategy.
Culturally this is a playful way to read the city — museums, public markets, and public art become mission sites instead of static stops. Practically, bring a fully charged smartphone, comfortable shoes, and a small data plan; the app drives the experience and your score depends on speed and creativity. Start during daylight for easier navigation and public-transit access, allow a buffer for crossing busy streets, and keep a portable battery handy. Whether you’re competing with friends or exploring solo, the scavenger hunt foregrounds tactics as much as curiosity: prioritize high-point challenges, watch the clock, and let the city’s history and texture shape your survival plan.
The game is designed for about 60 minutes, though total distance and time can vary depending on how much ground you cover and how many challenges you attempt.
Yes — the activity is stroller-accessible and rated easy physically, but guardians should supervise street crossings and challenge content for younger players.
No — a remote host follows along virtually and provides support via the app or messaging; you receive instructions before starting.
Public transit is available nearby and can shorten route time, but check timing — transit delays could affect your strategy and score.
