Quick Overview
In San Bernardino, for just $20 per group, you can join a Zombie Scavengers adventure that takes you on a mobile app-based search for survival items during a fictional zombie apocalypse. The experience lasts about an hour, making it easy to fit into a busy day of sightseeing or as a fun add-on to other activities. The tour starts at 385 N Arrowhead Ave and is suitable for small groups of up to 10 people, making it an intimate and flexible experience.
What we find particularly appealing are two things: first, the interactive nature of the game that encourages strategic thinking and teamwork; second, the remote host who is available via chat to assist if needed — a nice touch for a game that’s all about self-guided exploration. The price point also stands out as very affordable, offering a playful way to explore the city with a tech twist.
A possible consideration is that this experience is self-guided and relies on your smartphone, so travelers who aren’t comfortable with apps or digital gameplay might find it less engaging. Also, because it’s a one-hour activity, those looking for a more in-depth tour or extensive sightseeing may want to combine this with other experiences. It’s best suited for groups who enjoy quirky, interactive activities and don’t mind a bit of digital adventure.
This scavenger hunt makes a good choice for families, friends, or team-building groups looking for something lighthearted, different, and budget-friendly in San Bernardino or nearby Los Angeles.

In-Depth Review: Exploring the Zombie Scavengers Experience

If you’re after a unique way to explore San Bernardino, the Zombie Scavengers game offers a playful twist on traditional sightseeing. Instead of walking with a guide or following a pre-set tour, you’re handed the reins through your smartphone to hunt for items that would be vital during a zombie apocalypse. This is a self-guided activity, but with the added benefit of having a remote survival guide available via chat, making it both flexible and reassuring for participants.
What’s the itinerary like?
While there’s no fixed route, you’ll start at the meeting point on Arrowhead Ave and proceed at your own pace. The app instructs you to find specific items scattered around San Bernardino, which could be anything from medical supplies to tools to food — all themed for surviving a zombie outbreak. The ability to find items in any order allows you to customize your adventure based on your interests or strategy.
Along the way, you’ll encounter zombie-themed challenges that earn you extra points. These challenges might range from solving puzzles to completing quick physical tasks, adding a layer of fun and interaction. Points are a core element here — the more items you collect and challenges you complete, the higher your score. The game encourages strategic planning, as you decide whether to prioritize easy pickups or pursue more difficult, higher-value items.
What makes this experience engaging?
We loved the interactivity — it’s much more than just wandering around with a checklist. The app’s design makes the experience playful and competitive, especially since you can see how your score stacks up against other teams across the country. The remote host offers an extra layer of support, providing hints or encouragement if needed, which keeps the game accessible and fun.
What do travelers say?
While reviews are still pending, the comments about the experience suggest that it’s a perfect activity for those who enjoy puzzles, outdoor exploration, and themed adventures. The fact that the game is private means your group can enjoy a personalized experience without outsiders, which is especially great for families or small groups of friends.
What’s the value?
At $20 for about an hour, it offers bargain-priced entertainment that combines physical activity with mental challenges. Because there’s no need for private transportation or additional tickets, it’s a cost-effective way to add some excitement to your day.
Possible drawbacks?
Some may find the reliance on a smartphone app a limitation, especially if your device’s battery is low or if you’re not comfortable with digital scavenger hunts. Also, since it is self-guided, the level of engagement depends on your group’s enthusiasm and teamwork. If you’re expecting a traditional tour or museum visit, this will feel very different.
Who should try this?
We think it’s perfect for families with kids, friends on a weekend outing, or team-building groups looking for something playful and a little competitive. It’s especially suited to those who enjoy urban exploration and zombie-themed fun.
