Fun City Scavenger Hunt in Santa Clarita by Zombie Scavengers

Imagine combining a city adventure with a dash of zombie-themed chaos. That’s exactly what the Fun City Scavenger Hunt in Santa Clarita offers, all for just $20 per group. You and up to nine friends or family members get about an hour to explore Santa Clarita in a playful quest to find survival items and complete zombie challenges. Led by a remote guide via chat, you’ll navigate the streets with your phone, searching, strategizing, and competing for points.

What we particularly like about this experience is its flexibility: you can explore anywhere in Santa Clarita that catches your eye, making it a personalized adventure. Plus, the app-based format means no fixed route and no boring waiting around—just pure, mobile fun. We also appreciate that it’s suitable for most travelers, with a private group setting and easy access near public transportation.

One consideration: since it’s a self-guided activity relying on your phone, you’ll want to make sure your device is charged and that you’re comfortable using an app during your walk. This adds a layer of independence but might be a challenge for those less tech-savvy.

This scavenger hunt is perfect for groups of friends, families, or team outings who enjoy a little friendly competition and don’t mind a bit of walking. If you’re looking for something lighthearted and different from typical tours, and love a theme that combines humor with a little bit of adventure, you’ll find this game a welcome change.

A Closer Look at the Zombie Scavengers in Santa Clarita

The Experience and How It Works

When you sign up for the Zombie Scavengers in Santa Clarita, you’re signing on for a self-guided, mobile game that turns the city into a post-apocalyptic landscape. Starting at 24275 Walnut St, your journey begins with a quick overview of the rules, then you’re free to roam wherever you want within Santa Clarita’s streets.

Using your phone, you’ll access the app that guides your hunt for survival items—think essentials like water, weapons, or perhaps some makeshift supplies—scattered throughout the city. You can find these items in any order, which means you can chase after the easy pickups or go for the more challenging items first, depending on your strategy.

Along With collecting items, the game includes zombie-themed challenges that you can complete for extra points—maybe a quick photo with a zombie pose or solving a quick puzzle. The points earned help you compare your team’s survival skills against others across the country, adding a fun competitive element that appeals to all ages.

Throughout the hunt, a remote host is available via chat for support, hints, or just to keep the morale high. This feature is particularly appreciated, as it helps prevent frustration if you get stuck or confused about the next step.

What Makes It Stand Out

One thing that stands out is the customizability of the activity. There’s no fixed route, so if you’re in a part of Santa Clarita that you love, or if the weather turns unexpectedly nice, you can adapt your plans on the fly. It’s a game that you control, which means it can be as relaxed or as competitive as you wish.

Another highlight is the interactive, app-based interface that keeps the game quick and engaging. As one reviewer noted, “It’s a fun way to explore the city while doing something completely different.” The virtual nature makes it accessible for many, requiring only a smartphone and a sense of humor.

The Practicalities

The activity lasts around one hour, making it a perfect addition to a day packed with other sightseeing or as a break from more traditional tours. You’ll want a charged device and some comfortable walking shoes, as the hunt can take you across various parts of Santa Clarita.

Since the meeting point is centrally located, near public transportation, it’s easy to start without needing a car. The price, at $20 per group, covers all activities, including the remote guide support, which adds value—especially if you consider how much fun your group can have competing for points.
