You step off Locust Walk and the campus rises around you—brick facades, a scattering of planes trees, and the low hum of student life. An app pings; the first clue waits on a plaque you can just make out beside a statue. The game begins.

You step off Locust Walk and the campus rises around you—brick facades, a scattering of planes trees, and the low hum of student life. An app pings; the first clue waits on a plaque you can just make out beside a statue. The game begins.
This scavenger hunt threads through the University of Pennsylvania’s compact, historic campus and adjacent blocks of West Philadelphia. Founded from Benjamin Franklin’s 18th-century academy, Penn’s grounds combine Georgian college buildings, modern murals, and a river corridor a few blocks west. Geologically the area sits on the coastal plain beside the Schuylkill River, so expect largely flat, walkable streets with occasional stone steps and curbs.
Culturally the hunt leans into the university’s public art, commemorative markers, and student traditions—photo challenges will push you to find details only visible in person. Local insights: aim for campus hours to access courtyards, and note that nearby neighborhoods host coffee shops and transit stops if you need a break.
Practically, this is a self-guided, app-led experience: download the Let’s Roam app, redeem your voucher, and start anytime. Plan for 90–120 minutes, dress for city walking, and carry a charged phone and portable battery. Use SEPTA or bike to avoid scarce parking; routes are accessible with pavement-based navigation and optional wheelchair-friendly detours. Bring layers—Philadelphia weather shifts fast—and be ready to read small plaques, hunt for corner details, and take creative photos for the scoring rounds. The hunt is a low-impact, urban play—keep noise reasonable and respect campus signs as you explore.
