A Fun Twist on City Exploring: Zombie Scavengers in Murfreesboro
If you’re after a different way to see Murfreesboro, the Fun City Scavenger Hunt in Murfreesboro by Zombie Scavengers offers a playful, zombie-themed challenge that combines sightseeing with a bit of friendly competition. While I haven’t tried this particular adventure myself, it seems like a lighthearted activity that could appeal to groups seeking something more interactive than a traditional walking tour.
What I genuinely like about this experience is its flexibility—you can stroll around at your own pace, choose the order of your scavenger stops, and even get help via a remote host if you hit a snag. Plus, at just $20 per group, it feels like a budget-friendly way to turn a normal outing into something memorable. But a word of caution: since it relies heavily on your phone and an app, it’s best suited for those comfortable with digital activities and walking around for an hour.
That said, it might not be the best choice if you’re searching for a guided or narrated experience—this is more of a self-guided adventure. Overall, it seems perfect for groups of friends, families, or anyone wanting to add a playful twist to their Murfreesboro visit without taking up an entire day.

What to Expect from the Zombie Scavengers Murfreesboro Experience

This activity is all about turning Murfreesboro into a zombie survival zone. You’ll download an app that provides a list of “survival items,” which you and your team need to locate around the city. Think of it as a scavenger hunt with a spooky twist—finding things like “a makeshift weapon” or “a person in zombie makeup,” along with completing zombie-themed challenges for extra points.
The game lasts around an hour, making it a nice, quick activity that fits into a busy day of sightseeing. You can play in any order you like, choosing the easiest or most fun locations first, which gives you a good deal of control over the pace. Plus, since you’re not tied to a guide or scheduled tour, you can take your time to soak in the atmosphere or race against the clock.
The experience starts at South Public Square and ends back there, so you won’t need to worry about complicated arrangements for pickup or drop-off. The app-driven format means your phone is your map, camera, and scorekeeper, which works well if you’re comfortable with digital tools.
The Role of the Remote Host

One aspect many will appreciate is the remote host who chats with you during the game. If you get stuck or have questions about the challenges or items, you can reach out for assistance. This support helps keep the activity lighthearted and stress-free, especially if you’re unfamiliar with scavenger hunts or Murfreesboro itself.
From what travelers have shared, having this kind of virtual guidance adds a layer of reassurance and can even make the game more fun—imagine strategizing with a buddy over chat while in the middle of the city.
Is It Worth the Price?

At $20, this activity is pretty reasonable for what you get—a self-guided urban adventure filled with zombie fun, complete with interactive support. It’s a cost-effective way to explore Murfreesboro differently, especially if you’re traveling with a small group of up to 10 people. Keep in mind that you’ll need to have your own smartphone and be comfortable using the app, which is included in the price.
Compared to other tours that might last several hours or include guided commentary, this is a quick, playful challenge that can spice up your day without breaking the bank.
The Flipside: What Could Be Better?
While the activity’s format suits a lot of travelers, it might not be ideal for those who prefer guided tours with historical narration or detailed storytelling. Also, because it’s self-guided, it relies heavily on your ability to navigate the city and find items, which could be tricky if you’re unfamiliar with Murfreesboro or if your group prefers a more structured experience.
Plus, since transportation isn’t included, you’ll need to be prepared to walk or arrange your own travel between points—something to keep in mind if mobility is a concern.

How It Compares to Other Murfreesboro Activities

Looking at other options like the Nashville hop-on-hop-off trolley or Nashville’s popular attractions, this scavenger hunt offers a more playful, less traditional experience. It’s more about interactive fun than sightseeing with narration, making it ideal if you’re looking to do something different from the standard city tour.
If your group enjoys games, riddles, or just hanging out with friends in an active way, this activity fits the bill. It’s also private, so only your group participates—no need to share the experience with strangers.
Who Should Consider This?

This scavenger hunt is especially suited for groups of friends, families with older kids, or couples who want a fun challenge. It’s perfect if you enjoy urban adventures or games that involve a bit of strategy. Those who appreciate a humorous or spooky theme will find it particularly entertaining. Keep in mind, it’s a casual activity—if you’re seeking a deep dive into Murfreesboro’s history or culture, a guided tour or museum visit might be more satisfying.
