What To Expect
The adventure begins near the Capitol building and takes you on a well-designed course among historic monuments, the streets of Austin, great artwork, historic hotels, and other locations that help keep Austin unique. The tour requires approximately 2.5 miles of walking with numerous stops along the route to complete challenges and decipher clues. The game software tracks team points and posts the final score to a city leader board for those with a competitive edge.
Using your smart phone as 'the guide' allows participants to start when they want and determine their own pace of play, leaving time to stop for some Austin cuisine or simply enjoy the scenery. This activity is great for families, friends, and those ready to have fun while seeing the city!
