Fort Worth Self-Guided City Walking Tour & Scavenger Hunt
Overview
Fort Worth traded its Wild West reputation for world-class culture — and the city still wears both hats with confidence.
This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Fort Worth on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.
• Visit the JFK Tribute and Fort Worth's Flatiron Building, connecting threads of American history in one walk
• Move through Fort Worth at your own pace, stopping when something catches your eye
• Ideal for groups of all ages and sizes
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.
All the history, none of the ten-gallon hat required.

The first stop brings you to the JFK Tribute, a moving memorial to President Kennedy with a personal Fort Worth connection that many visitors never know about.
Next, the riddles guide you to Fort Worth's Flatiron Building, a striking early-20th-century landmark that shows the city's architectural ambition long before Sundance District got its name.
Your final highlight is the Fort Worth Water Gardens, a stunning modernist space of cascading water, terraces, and quiet contemplation — a dramatic contrast to the stockyard past nearby.
The full route takes around 2 hours at a relaxed pace. Suitable for all ages, and the game can be paused and resumed if you need a break.
