• Ideal for groups of all ages and sizes

Available in 24 languages including English, French, German, Spanish, Italian — see the full list when booking and choose yours when you start the game in the app.

Itinerary and highlights

Starting at 100 E Weatherford St, Fort Worth, TX 76102, USA, open the Explorial app and enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message. No waiting — start whenever you're ready.

The first stop brings you to the JFK Tribute, a moving memorial to President Kennedy with a personal Fort Worth connection that many visitors never know about.

Next, the riddles guide you to Fort Worth's Flatiron Building, a striking early-20th-century landmark that shows the city's architectural ambition long before Sundance District got its name.

Your final highlight is the Fort Worth Water Gardens, a stunning modernist space of cascading water, terraces, and quiet contemplation — a dramatic contrast to the stockyard past nearby.

The full route takes around 2 hours at a relaxed pace. Suitable for all ages, and the game can be paused and resumed if you need a break.
