Savannah scavenger hunt: self-guided app adventure

Hunt through Savannah on your own schedule, picking your role and pace

A self-guided scavenger hunt app adventure through Savannah where you solve trivia questions, tackle challenges, and photograph landmarks at your own pace. Each participant picks a dynamic role with personalized challenges. The hunt takes roughly 90 minutes and works downtown, covering iconic buildings, green spaces, and river views. You start whenever you want using the Let's Roam app on a fully charged phone.

The Experience

Download the Let's Roam app, pick your role, and start hunting whenever suits you. The app guides you through Savannah's downtown, sending you to Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low's birthplace, Chippewa Square (the Forrest Gump filming location), and other landmarks scattered across the city's historic grid. At each stop, you'll answer trivia questions tied to what you're standing in front of, complete physical or creative challenges, and snap photos as proof. The app tracks your team's progress in real time, so if you're competing against friends or family, the leaderboard updates as you move.

The hunt covers roughly 90 minutes of walking, but the clock is yours—pause for coffee, linger at a square, or speed through if you're on a tight schedule. You'll navigate between downtown's finest landmarks and the quieter green spaces that make Savannah distinct, ending with views of the Savannah River. The app handles navigation, so you don't need to plan a route or carry a map. Wear comfortable shoes and check the weather before you go; the hunt works rain or shine, but dressing right makes the difference.

Each person on your team gets a personalized role—detective, photographer, trivia master, or another character—so everyone has their own challenges to solve alongside the shared ones. That setup works whether you're a group of friends, a corporate team building, a bachelorette party, or a family looking for something to do on a Saturday. The app sends you digital copies of the photos you collect, so you'll have the memories without the storage problem.

Top questions

Can I start the scavenger hunt whenever I want, or are there set times?

You start whenever you want. This is a self-guided hunt, so there's no fixed departure time—download the app, pick your role, and begin. You control the pace and can pause or speed up as you go.

What happens if my phone dies during the hunt?

Bring a fully charged phone and consider a power bank. The app guides you through the entire hunt, so a dead battery means you'll lose navigation and can't submit your challenge answers or photos.

What's the connection between Chippewa Square and Forrest Gump?

Chippewa Square is where the famous park bench scenes from Forrest Gump were filmed. The hunt sends you there to uncover that connection and answer trivia about the city's role in the movie.

Do I need to pay for admission to any of the landmarks on the hunt?

No. The hunt takes you to exteriors and public spaces—Girl Scout founder Juliette Gordon Low's birthplace, Chippewa Square, green spaces, and river views. You're not entering paid attractions, so no admission fees apply.

Is this hunt suitable for kids, or is it mostly for adults?

Kids welcome from age 5. Each participant picks their own role with personalized challenges, so the hunt works for mixed-age groups. Families, birthday parties, and corporate teams all use it regularly.
