The sun slants across the Delaware River as teams fan out across Trenton, phones in hand and strategy forming fast. Streets hum with lunchtime traffic, murals dare you to look closer, and the Old Barracks seems to watch the players decide which checkpoint to hit next — this is less a race and more a tactical city walk where every discovery scores points and every chat with a remote host can change the plan.

The sun slants across the Delaware River as teams fan out across Trenton, phones in hand and strategy forming fast. Streets hum with lunchtime traffic, murals dare you to look closer, and the Old Barracks seems to watch the players decide which checkpoint to hit next — this is less a race and more a tactical city walk where every discovery scores points and every chat with a remote host can change the plan.
Trenton wears history plainly: Revolutionary War skirmishes, 19th-century manufacturing along the river, and a brick-and-mortar civic core shaped by industry and migration. Geologically, the city sits on Triassic basin sediments with the river carving a clear western edge, creating waterfront pockets where waterfront parks and industrial relics meet. Local culture is direct and community-driven; the game threads through neighborhoods where murals, markets, and small museums tell the city’s story.
Practical guidance is straightforward. The experience is self-guided and app-based for about an hour; expect 1–2 miles of walking on sidewalks, plazas, and occasional stairs. Bring a fully charged smartphone and a power bank, wear comfortable walking shoes, and plan for urban conditions — uneven pavement, pedestrian crossings, and traffic lights. Start mid-morning to avoid commuter rush and to use daylight for photo challenges. Public transit access is good; allow extra time to receive the game-start message and review instructions. Hydrate and layer for wind off the river, and treat the scavenger hunt as an urban exploration: keep valuables secure, respect private property, and use the remote host chat if anything is unclear. With a little planning, this zombie-themed scavenger hunt becomes a sharp, social way to see Trenton while testing strategy and speed.
The game is designed to last about 60 minutes, though teams can spend more time exploring local sites between challenges.
