Overview

Spanish moss, secret squares and Gothic spires — Savannah plays hard to forget.

This app-led scavenger hunt takes you through Savannah on foot, using phone-based riddles to guide you from one landmark to the next. No guide, no fixed start time.

• Marvel at the twin spires of the Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist
• Read between the headstones of Colonial Park Cemetery, resting since 1750
• Circle Monterey Square, arguably the most beautiful of Savannah's 22 squares

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

What to expect

Starting at 428 Bull St, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and drift into the historic district's oak-lined grid. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city.

The Cathedral Basilica of St. John the Baptist rises first, its white Gothic spires impossible to miss. Riddles delve into stained glass, fires and resurrections.

Colonial Park Cemetery follows — Savannah's oldest burial ground, where trivia untangles duelists' graves and headstones rearranged by occupying soldiers.

Then Monterey Square, framed by moss-draped oaks and storied mansions, sets the scene for the closing photo challenge.

Expect around two hours at Savannah pace — unhurried, shady and just a little spooky. The leaderboard has the final word.
