Frequently asked questions
What’s a fun way to explore Phoenix’s art scene without a boring tour?
Play The Phoenix Art Heist. You’ll follow clues through Roosevelt Row’s murals and hidden alleys, piecing together a thrilling art-theft story while discovering cafés and local galleries.
We love street art—will this quest take us to the best murals?
Yes. The route highlights some of Phoenix’s boldest murals and lesser-known pieces, weaving them into the mystery so every wall becomes part of the game.
Is this a cool idea for a date night?
Definitely. Solve a playful art-theft mystery together, wander colorful streets at sunset, and end with tacos or a rooftop drink nearby. It’s fun, interactive, and very “Phoenix.”
Can families do this, or is it too tricky for kids?
It’s kid-friendly and puzzle-based rather than scary. Children can help find murals and spot hidden details, and you can pause anytime for snacks or playground time.
Do locals enjoy it, or is it mainly for visitors?
Both. Visitors get a creative way to see Phoenix’s art and history, while locals often discover new murals and stories in neighborhoods they thought they knew.
