Take a One-Hour Street Art Scavenger Hunt
1 h€ 5 Active
Sixty minutes, a tight route, and as many murals as you can find. A fast, playful way to rediscover your city on foot.
Give yourself an hour and a small patch of city, and street art becomes a treasure hunt. This play sends you down alleys and busy streets to find as many pieces as you can in sixty minutes, camera in hand. It is quick, it is playful, and it makes you look at streets you pass every day with fresh eyes.
Plan a tight route through an area known for murals so you maximize finds without wandering too far. Pack a charged phone, a notebook for artist tags, and comfortable shoes. Tell someone where you are going, then work your route with about five minutes per piece, staying open to the surprises that are not on any map. When you are done, share your best finds and credit the artists where you can.
