The sun bakes the low desert pavement, and a phone buzzes in your palm — your team’s first objective flashes on screen. You and your crew slip through Surprise’s grid of streets and neighborhood parks, chasing items and completing zombie-themed tasks that turn ordinary storefronts and public art into checkpoints in a city-wide game.
Surprise sits on the western edge of the Phoenix metro area, a place shaped by Sonoran Desert geology and the irrigation-driven growth of the 20th century. Originally a quiet agricultural town, it now mixes spring-training baseball fields, mid-century ranch houses, and newer subdivisions. The scavenger hunt threads through civic spaces and pocket parks rather than wild landscapes, so expect urban textures — stamped concrete, shade pavilions and a few native palo verde trees asserting themselves along sidewalks.
Culturally this is community-first entertainment: local businesses and public art become the backdrop for playful competition. The experience is app-led, self-guided and remote-hosted — you’ll get prompts, points and live chat support rather than an in-person guide.
Practical guidance: bring a charged smartphone with GPS, comfortable walking shoes and a refillable water bottle; the game lasts about an hour but you’ll walk more if you chase high scores. Start in the cooler morning or late afternoon to avoid peak desert heat and plan for basic navigation of city blocks. Strollers and service animals are allowed; the game is family-friendly and low-impact. Treat the public spaces respectfully, follow local rules, and use the host chat if you need help getting unstuck.
You’ll receive a message before the scheduled time with instructions and a link to the app; follow that link to begin and contact the remote host if you don’t receive it.
Yes — the activity is listed as stroller-accessible and family-friendly; challenges are adjustable by the team’s pace.
A remote host is available via in-app chat to provide hints or technical help throughout the game.
For a full refund cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled start time; cancellations within 24 hours are not refundable.
