About Riddle Routes

Riddle Routes in Palm Springs is a mobile app-based scavenger hunt where teams download a game and follow trivia, geocaching, puzzle-solving, and walking tour challenges through local streets. Teams of two to four people play from a single smartphone, navigating to GPS locations while solving riddles and puzzles to uncover local gems and discover town culture. The average route covers two miles and takes about two hours to complete. Players can proceed at their own pace on any day or time, and the experience welcomes dogs and families with children, though murder mystery whodunnits are rated PG-13. A charged smartphone with service is required to open the app before starting, though continued service is not necessary afterward. The Hood River Riddle Route normally costs forty-two dollars per team but is available for thirty-five dollars and seventy cents, according to riddleroute.com.
