edmonton wacky walk adventure scavenger hunt

The Wacky Walk Adventure Game

Wacky Walks is a royalty themed scavenger hunt that is perfect for families and friends looking for a unique adventure in Edmonton. It is similar to a board game, in which the power, or control, of the game shifts from one player to another, but instead of a board, you’ll be exploring the streets of our beautiful city with your smartphone to complete the game. 

The scavenger hunt will start out by designating who will be the first King or Queen. The Royal Highness will then direct the other players to locate items and participate in challenges throughout the kingdom (Edmonton). You’ll use the Wacky Walks scavenger hunt app to prove you’ve found the correct items and completed the challenges correctly.

The goal of the scavenger hunt is to find all the items and complete the challenges while having fun with your family or friends and exploring all that Edmonton has to offer! The hunt is done completely on foot and usually takes about two hours to complete. But don’t worry, you won’t be alone. The app contains a remote guide that will be available in case you get stuck.
