About
Experience the best of Santa Monica in a refreshing scavenger hunt and outdoor escape game that blends oceanfront fun with peaceful green spaces. This self-guided walking adventure connects the lively Santa Monica Pier with the modern oasis of Tongva Park—creating a perfectly balanced city exploration game by the coast.
Start your journey at the iconic pier, where the energy of the Pacific meets classic California charm. As you solve your first clues, you’ll explore colorful details, hidden features, and the playful spirit that defines this landmark.
