Itinerary
Starting at Akard Plaza on Marilla Street, by City Hall, you'll open the Explorial app, enter the 6-digit game code that you received by text and Viator chat message, and head into downtown Dallas. The tour is fully self-guided — no guide, no fixed start time, just your group and the city. Pioneer Plaza stampedes into view first: forty-nine bronze longhorns and three cowboys frozen mid-drive, the largest bronze monument of its kind. Riddles ride alongside. The Old Red Courthouse follows, its red sandstone turrets watching over the city since 1892. Trivia climbs the clock tower in spirit. Then Dealey Plaza asks for quieter attention — the birthplace of Dallas and the site the world remembers from November 1963. Around two hours through glass towers and granite history. The leaderboard settles the score, Texas-style.

Reviews
I did this self-guided tour alone and had a blast! It was the perfect way to explore Dallas at my own pace. The riddles were fun, the app was very user-friendly, and I discovered some amazing city highlights. Highly recommended for solo travelers!
Great activity for team building with coworkers. Well thought out and fun questions while learning about Dallas and each other.
Family trip with my son, daughter and grandchildren. The questions were interesting and interactive, but I guess I expected something a little different. The area seemed a little destitute. There were no restaurants along the way to grab a drink or even an ice cream cone to combat the Dallas heat. We ended our trip about 25% along the way. ALSO, I tried to change the date of my reservation because I booked for the wrong day. The first time I called I was told that I had to call the touring company myself and was given a phone number that didn't even work. Then I chatted with someone who was rude and kept telling me to "hold on". I was told that I would receive an email confirmation within 24 hours that my booking was changed but NO EMAIL ever came. Then, I had to call the get the code to start the game because the email I received with the code was incorrect. Not a very pleasant experience!
Really enjoyed the well designed scavenger hunt. The questions were fun, we learned a lot, and the walking distance was perfect!
Family competition and learning about Dallas and America history’s great sights and food along the trail.
great fun and takes you to places you would struggle to find alone. pretty sites and not too far of a walk!
The tour was great. The app did a great job hitting the highlights and sharing some details in a short time.
It was an amazing day out for us as a family. Sometimes it is hard to find good activities with children in different age. But with this trail, everyone had fun!
Dallas was a surprise and we really enjoyed the walk. Lots of cool things to discover and lots of fun solving the riddles. Children loved to play and learn.
It was really fun! I enjoyed playing the quizzes and the taking photos part, definitely made the experience more fun. It was a great low budget option to explore Dallas.
The self-guided tour app from Explorial was the perfect way to explore Dallas. The app was user-friendly, and the tour was well-planned and informative. I loved being able to explore on my own and take my time at each stop. I would highly recommend this app to anyone looking for a unique and immersive travel experience.
The Explorial tour was such a fun way to visit the city of Dallas! As first-time visitors, we felt like we went to all the most important landmarks while staying within our budget. We had so much fun with the challenges and photo tasks. I recommend going on this tour and will try Explorial in other cities we visit.
My wife and I loved this guided tour in the form of a treasure hunt. It’s a fun, interactive, and perfect way to discover the secrets of Dallas at our own pace!
A app surpreendeu pela positiva. Para primeira vez em Dallas gostei de conhecer os principais pontos da cidade e aprender alguns factos que desconhecia.
Hemos descubierto la ciudad de uma forma muy cool y agradable. Fue muy divertido buscar las ubicaciones con la ayuda del mapa y los riddles estaban muy interesantes.
Wir haben Explorial schon in anderen Städten in Europa gespielt und waren erstaunt, dass es das auch in Amerika gibt. Wir haben es auch hier ausprobiert und es hat unsere Erwartungen voll erfüllt: Die wichtigsten Orte kurz erklärt und jeweils Aufgaben (inkl. Fotoaufgaben!) vor Ort. Es hat auch hier wieder viel Spass gemacht, zu empfehlen!
