Denver Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt

About this activity

Denver sits a mile above sea level and punches well above its weight for architecture, art, and things to find on foot.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Denver on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Puzzle your way past the East 2 West Source Point sculpture, the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, and the Colorado State Capitol with its gold-leafed dome

• Start whenever you like, walk at your own speed, and take a detour into Larimer Square whenever the mood strikes

• Works great for couples, friends, and families — the scoring system adds some friendly competition to the mix

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Around 2 hours - any group size.

At 5,280 feet above sea level, even the riddles might leave you a little breathless.
