Turn Sunderland’s streets into a game board with a one-hour Zombie Scavengers app-led hunt. Navigate markets, riverside stretches and bridge crossings while completing survival-themed tasks and competing on national leaderboards.
You step off the riverside promenade and the city rearranges itself into a game board: gritty stone facades, the Wear nudging the docks, and narrow lanes that dare you to take shortcuts. The app buzzes, a list of quirky survival items appears, and suddenly Sunderland’s streets—past the Victorian market and toward the bridge—become territory to be read and raced.
Verified experiences and guided adventures in the surrounding area.

You step off the riverside promenade and the city rearranges itself into a game board: gritty stone facades, the Wear nudging the docks, and narrow lanes that dare you to take shortcuts. The app buzzes, a list of quirky survival items appears, and suddenly Sunderland’s streets—past the Victorian market and toward the bridge—become territory to be read and raced.
Sunderland’s identity was shaped by shipbuilding and coal; the Wear carved the estuary and the city’s neighborhoods grew around docks and factories. That industrial past leaves a compact urban fabric—short blocks, public squares and a coastline a short walk away—ideal for a timed, self-guided scavenger hunt. Local culture is direct and unpretentious: you’ll pass football murals, community pubs, and market stalls that still trade in character.
Expect one-hour routes that encourage strategy over speed. The terrain is paved city streets with occasional steps and pedestrian zones; weather is the deciding opponent some days—wind off the North Sea or sudden rain can change plans. The host watches remotely and the app logs points, challenges and nationwide leaderboards.
Practical guide: charge your phone and bring a small power bank; wear comfortable shoes and a waterproof layer; use public transport links into the city center if you’re coming from Newcastle. Start near Sunderland city center, allow an hour plus 15 minutes buffer, and plan a warm-up coffee at a nearby café afterwards. This is low-impact, social, and urban-adventure oriented—ideal for families, groups and visitors who want to see Sunderland with a playful edge.
The experience is designed as a one-hour self-guided game, though allow 15–30 minutes extra for setup and debrief.
Yes—infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller and many clues are in accessible public areas.
Service animals are permitted; for pets check local rules and be mindful of busy streets and crowds during the hunt.
No—this is app-led with a remote host available via chat; basic smartphone and walking ability are all that’s required.
