You start at an intersection in Uptown Charlotte with your phone buzzing like a heartbeat; the app lays out a survival list and the city answers in sidewalks and storefronts. Buildings lean like sentries, alleys whisper routes, and traffic lights blink impatience as teams fan out to collect points and complete zombie-themed challenges.
Charlotte’s streets carry layers of history — from 18th-century grid plans named for Queen Charlotte to late-20th-century bank towers that reshaped the skyline. The geology beneath is Piedmont bedrock, broad and weathered, giving rise to gentle rises and decades-old street trees that shade much of the route. Culturally, Charlotte is a working city with a growing arts scene; murals and adaptive reuse sites like Camp North End punctuate the scavenger hunt with unexpected stops.
This experience is equal parts urban exploration and timed puzzle: use the app to find items anywhere in the city, complete themed challenges for points, and chat with a remote host if you need hints. Expect mostly flat, paved terrain, frequent crosswalks, and a walking pace set by strategy rather than elevation. The activity lasts about an hour and suits mixed groups — friends, families, corporate teams — who want a playful, active way to learn the city.
Practical tips: wear grippy shoes, carry a charged phone and power bank, plan a loop to minimize backtracking, and pick a start time that avoids rush-hour crowds. Bring a mask if you’ll enter busy indoor locations and keep water handy — the city’s heat can sap energy fast. Above all, play smart, respect private property, and leave the streets as you found them.
The scheduled activity lasts about 1 hour; teams can typically finish within that time depending on strategy and pace.
Yes — the activity is labeled physically easy and allows strollers and family participation, but adult supervision is recommended for younger players.
No — mobile ticketing is accepted and the app is used for gameplay, though you can bring a paper ticket if preferred.
The experience runs rain or shine; wear weather-appropriate clothing and consider postponing if severe weather is expected given the outdoor nature.
