Find Clues, Solve Puzzles, Explore History

Transform Your Tour

Don’t just listen to stories, solve the puzzles for yourself and experience Golden’s history from the inside!

This isn't a checklist of landmarks and a bad pun about cowboys. This is a full-on adventure — teams racing through historic Golden, cracking clues, solving Wild West puzzles, and maybe running into a shady character or two who knows more than they're letting on.

No app to download. No herding everyone onto a bus. Just your group, their smartphones, and the streets of one of Colorado's most historic towns.

Pick Your Hunt

What’s the right style for your group?

Hunts usually run about 3 hours, including start up time and awards at the end. Teams must decipher a riddle to determine their destination, upon arrival they will need to solve a puzzle or complete an activity, and you’re on the clock! Bonus challenges along the way can earn you extra points. Puzzles are randomized per team, so teams don’t tailgate each other. Earn points by guessing correctly, solving puzzles quickly, and completing as many as you can in the allotted time. All players get Golden Bandanas as souvenirs.

A minimum of 20 players are needed for the Signature hunt, and we can support up to 60 players. Superlative certificates will be awarded to each team, and the winning team gets real prizes to take home. Certain game elements can also include custom branding.
