Denver, USA

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English and 1 more

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

Around 2 hours, any group size, available in English and Spanish.

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

The route begins in the historic Larimer Square area, Denver's oldest block and still one of its liveliest. The first riddles take you to the East 2 West Source Point — a landmark marking the geographic heart of Colorado's capital and a starting point for some surprising local trivia.

Next, the trail guides you past the Ellie Caulkins Opera House, part of the Denver Performing Arts Complex, whose striking architecture anchors the cultural centre of downtown.

From there, the app leads you to the Colorado State Capitol, its gold dome gleaming at exactly one mile above sea level, surrounded by history and political stories stretching back to the 1880s.

Around 2 hours of walking, any group size. A fully charged smartphone with mobile data is required.
