The University of Colorado Boulder has been transformed into an exciting outdoor mystery adventure, offering a unique way to explore the campus while engaging in a thrilling storyline. Our app combines the fun of a scavenger hunt with the clever challenges of an escape room, guiding participants to nine iconic campus locations. The adventure is centered around the disappearance of Chip the Buffalo, CU Boulder’s beloved mascot, and it’s up to you, as a member of the Flatiron Sleuths, to bring him home. Team up with your trusty Basset Hound, Archie, and follow the trail of clues while visiting landmarks such as Norlin Library, Macky Auditorium, and the Buffalo Statue, all while learning fascinating facts and trivia about the campus.
Participants can expect to walk approximately 3 miles as they solve puzzles, track down clues, and restore campus morale. The experience can be enjoyed solo or in groups, with a typical completion time of around 90 minutes, allowing you to go at your own pace. While the adventure is immersive and interactive, it is important to note that it is not wheelchair-friendly due to the hilly terrain of the campus. This engaging activity combines problem-solving, exploration, and learning, creating an unforgettable way to experience the University of Colorado Boulder.

I'm not sure what the experience is like here. I tried sending e-mails to the admissions department for the last couple of weeks to get more information about their Neuroscience program and begin the application process but I haven't had anyone respond to my e-mails, call, leave voice mail, or respond to my calls into their department. The Registrar's office informed me they have no way of communicating with admissions or sending them messages, just transfer me back to an automated voice that hangs up after stating thank you for being patient with us while we resume normal business hours. How am I supposed to apply or learn anything if the staff don't even know how to reply to an e-mail about this? I really liked the Neuroscience program detailed here. I guess I have to go somewhere else since this has been my experience over the past couple of weeks during the inquiry process.
The stately, majestic campus of one of the great universities of the American West. I must admit that I'm a little biased toward Colorado Boulder, having grown up in the Colorado front range region, but returning to this campus, I am even more impressed by its magnificence and its sprawling beauty than I was when I was younger. The campus is a wonderful, lively place to wander around and explore, seeing a variety of new sites ranging from a scale model of the solar system to a lovely little prairie like area that has carrots growing in it. This is a place that feels constantly surprising, and it's never boring when you are walking through it, yet the campus feels remarkably unified. Despite the differences in when the buildings were constructed, they all feel cohesive, and they all have that specific reddish-brown stone color that glows in the mountain sunlight, making the campus look both like a site for true learning and comprehension and a distinctly Colorado place that could not exist anywhere else. I highly recommend coming here if you are in the area, and if you are considering going to the University of Colorado Boulder, I guarantee you that you will enjoy your time at this campus.
One of the most beautiful campuses I have visited. Spectacular landscape with mountains on the side, and the buildings are uniquely colored due to locally sourced limestone. Highly recommend for few hours to be spent here to anyone passing by Boulder.
Beautiful campus! Spent time here in the summer. See the photos. They have a space exhibit at old main, a planetarium, an observatory, and many other things to see and do. The buildings all share a unified stone and red tile them on the roof. They also do walking tours.
Our son is a student at CU Boulder and we couldn't be more happy with his decision to be a buff. A fantastic academic institution with a diverse student population and (in my opinion) the prettiest campus in the world. Absolutely love the place!
