The experience

Downtown Pensacola becomes your playground on this interactive scavenger hunt. You work through riddles and clues that send you to historic landmarks and popular local spots, where you'll tackle challenges like reenactments, trivia, singing and photo opportunities at each stop. The app and digital guide keep you on track while you move at your own pace through the city's downtown core.

At each location, you'll encounter something different: one stop might ask you to recreate a scene for the camera, another to answer questions about Pensacola's history, another to sing a verse or solve a puzzle. Along the way you collect samples from local candy stores and other downtown businesses, building up both your score and your snacks. The birthday-themed props we provide make the photos festive and give the whole thing a celebratory edge, whether you're marking an actual birthday or just want an excuse to make a day of it.

The whole thing takes around two hours, which keeps it manageable without feeling rushed. You get prizes and promotional items as you complete challenges, and the digital guide doubles as a travel resource for downtown Pensacola if you want to explore further after the hunt wraps up.
