About this experience

We've transformed Colorado State University into a thrilling outdoor mystery adventure! Our app combines the excitement of a Scavenger Hunt with the clever puzzles of an Escape Room, guiding you to 11 iconic campus landmarks.

The mission? Cam the Ram, CSU’s cherished mascot, has vanished, and campus morale is at rock bottom. As members of Green & Gold Sleuths, the finest detective agency in town, you and your trusty Basset Hound, Archie, are on the case. You'll search for clues across landmarks like The Oval, Canvas Stadium, and Morgan Library, while uncovering fascinating facts about places like the CSU Trial Gardens, Vietnam Memorial Bridge, and more.

Expect to walk about 2.1 miles as you unravel the mystery and bring Cam the Ram home. You can play solo or with friends, and the experience takes about 90 minutes to complete—but you’re free to move at your own pace.
