The Savannah scavenger hunt starts at the fountain in Forsyth Park and heads north through Monterey Square to the Cathedral Basilica of St John the Baptist and the Sorrel-Weed House. Via Chippewa Square and Colonial Park Cemetery you reach the Owens-Thomas House and Slave Quarters and Reynolds Square, then City Market and finally River Street on the Savannah River.
The 10 stops cover about 3.8 km, roughly 56 minutes of walking. Start anywhere or change the order in the app; Google Maps guides you. No entry tickets needed: every riddle uses the outside of the buildings.
Savannah was founded in 1733 by James Oglethorpe, whose grid of public squares still shapes the historic district. Live oaks draped in Spanish moss shade the squares, Forsyth Park’s fountain dates from 1858, and Chippewa Square is where the bench scenes of Forrest Gump were filmed. Down by the river, old cotton warehouses on River Street now house shops and restaurants.
A city game turns sightseeing into a shared challenge. You have to observe to find each answer, so you remember far more than from a guidebook, and the stories and local legends bring every stop to life. There is no tour time to meet: start, pause and finish whenever it suits you.
