Boulder Outdoor Mystery Adventure Scavenger Hunt

We've turned the University of Colorado Boulder into an exciting outdoor mystery adventure! Our app combines the thrill of a Scavenger Hunt with the clever puzzles of an Escape Room, leading you to 9 iconic spots around campus.
The challenge? Chip the Buffalo, CU Boulder’s beloved mascot, has gone missing, and it’s up to you to bring him home! As a member of the Flatiron Sleuths, the best detective agency in town, you’ll team up with your trusty Basset Hound, Archie, to track down clues and unravel the mystery. Along the way, you’ll explore legendary landmarks like Norlin Library, Macky Auditorium, and the Buffalo Statue, all while learning fascinating campus trivia.

Get ready to walk about 3 miles as you follow the trail, crack the case, and restore campus morale. You can play solo or as a group, and the entire adventure should take around 90 minutes—but feel free to go at your own pace. This adventure is not wheelchair friendly due to the hilly campus, so plan accordingly!
