Frequently asked questions

Is there a scavenger hunt in Orlando I can do on my own?
Yes. This self-guided scavenger hunt runs on your phone around Lake Eola Park in downtown Orlando. It is free to play, there is no guide or group to join, and the app leads you through 14 stops of public art and lakeside landmarks, setting a puzzle at each one.
How long is the walk around Lake Eola on this hunt?
The route covers about 1.6 km as a loop around the lake, starting at the Cedar of Lebanon and finishing at the Lake Eola House Marker. Most players take around 90 minutes, including walking and solving the puzzles, though you can go at your own pace.
Is this scavenger hunt good to do with kids?
It is tagged as family friendly, with challenges for different levels and hints when you get stuck. It suits children old enough to read clues and spot details in sculptures and plaques. The route is short, flat parkland walking of about 1.6 km, and there are no stories, just puzzles.
Do we need to book a time, and can we pause?
No booking is needed. You can start whenever you like, and you can pause and continue later. The route is open 24 hours a day, but it is better played in daylight, when the clues around the park are easier to see. It is entirely outdoors, so plan around the weather.
