The Denver scavenger hunt starts at Coors Field and heads to Union Station, Larimer Square and the 16th Street Mall. You continue to the Denver Performing Arts Complex, Civic Center Park and the Denver Art Museum, climb to the Colorado State Capitol and the Molly Brown House Museum, and finish at the Cathedral Basilica of the Immaculate Conception.
The 10 stops cover about 4.5 km, roughly 69 minutes of walking. You can start anywhere or change the order in the app, with Google Maps guiding you. No entry tickets are needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
Denver grew from a gold-rush camp into the Mile High City, and you can read that story on foot: the restored Union Station, the Victorian buildings of Larimer Square, the gold-domed State Capitol with a step marked exactly one mile above sea level, and the house of Margaret “Molly” Brown, who survived the sinking of the Titanic.
A game turns the walk from LoDo to Capitol Hill into a chain of discoveries. Each riddle makes you look closely at façades, plaques and sculptures, and the stories explain what you just saw. Everyone plays on their own phone, with no schedule.
