Frequently asked questions

Where does the Morgan Hill scavenger hunt start and finish?
It starts and ends at the 4th Street Parking Garage downtown, so you finish back where you began. Along the way you pass E 3rd Street, Sinaloa Cafe, the oldest church in town, the Tower Office Building, Britton Auditorium, West 3rd Street Creek Park and the Granary Historical Marker.
How long does it take and how far will we walk?
Plan on about 75 minutes to walk around 3.3 km through historic downtown Morgan Hill. You can pause the game whenever you like and continue later, so a coffee or lunch stop along the route will not cost you any progress.
Is it a good activity for kids and grandkids?
Yes, it is designed for sharing the town's founders, landmarks and stories with children and grandchildren, with a mystery to solve as you go. Children should be able to manage a 3.3 km walk of about 75 minutes, with breaks whenever you choose to pause.
Do we need to book a time or buy other tickets?
No. You can start whenever suits you, with no group to join and no guide to meet, and no attraction tickets are required at any stop. One ticket covers your whole group, so friends or family can play together.
Can we play in cold weather or in the evening?
Playing at night is not recommended, so aim for daylight hours. If it turns cold, you can pause and step inside to warm up at almost any location in the game, then pick up where you left off.
