(1 reviews)
Los Angeles, USA

2 hours (approximately)
Offered in: English

Downtown LA has a funicular from 1901, a Gehry concert hall, and a city hall that's been in more films than most actors.

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

• Solve clues at Angels Flight Railway, Los Angeles City Hall, and the Walt Disney Concert Hall — only-in-LA icons that reward close attention
• Go at your own pace through downtown LA with no guide and no fixed schedule
• Suits first-time visitors, film fans, history lovers, and architecture enthusiasts

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

Hollywood gets the fame — downtown gets the good stuff.

What to expect

Starting at W 5th St, Los Angeles, CA 90071, USA, open the Explorial app and enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message. The riddles take you through a downtown that rewards foot traffic far more than most Angelenos realise.

Your first stop is Angels Flight Railway, the funicular railroad that has been ferrying passengers up and down Bunker Hill since 1901, making it the oldest surviving funicular in California and one of the shortest railways in the world.

From there the app guides you to Los Angeles City Hall, the distinctive Art Deco tower that has appeared in Superman, Dragnet, and dozens of other films and TV shows — a building so embedded in American pop culture that it feels like a film set even when you're standing in front of it.

The route then takes you to the Walt Disney Concert Hall, Frank Gehry's stainless steel masterpiece completed in 2003, whose billowing curves transformed the Bunker Hill skyline and gave downtown LA a landmark to match its ambitions.

Around 2 hours on foot. Downtown LA is more walkable than its reputation suggests.
