What is this tour all about?
Imagine walking through the streets of Sarnia, but with a twist—you’re on a mission to gather “survival items” to outwit the zombie hordes. This self-guided scavenger hunt is designed to combine city exploration with an engaging storyline, where your team earns points for finding items and completing challenges. Starting at Sarnia City Hall, you’ll use an app to navigate, search, and strategize, all while competing against other teams’ scores on an online leaderboard.
How does it work?
After booking, you’ll receive a mobile ticket and instructions to download the app. Once you begin, the app will give you a list of items scattered around Sarnia, which you can find in any order. Items might include everyday objects or more unusual finds, all linked to surviving a zombie apocalypse—think of it as a scavenger hunt with a spooky storyline.
Along the way, you’ll encounter zombie-themed challenges — these might involve answering puzzles, taking photos, or performing quick tasks. Your remote host remains available via chat, offering hints or guidance if needed, making this experience accessible even if you’re new to scavenger hunts.
What makes this experience special?
The best part is the interactivity. It’s not just wandering aimlessly; this activity encourages teamwork, strategy, and humor. The app’s interface tracks your points and shows how you compare with other teams across the country, adding an element of friendly competition. The fact that you can choose your own route means you can tailor your adventure based on your interests or energy levels.
Another aspect we appreciate is the local flavor — while the challenges are zombie-themed, they are rooted in Sarnia’s streets and landmarks, giving you a chance to see the city in a playful light. Plus, the cost is reasonable, especially considering it includes a remote host and the entire activity, making it a good value for a short, fun outing.

Practical considerations
Since the activity relies on your smartphone, ensure your device is charged before starting. The duration is approximately one hour, so it’s best suited for a casual walk rather than a rigorous hike.
