Honky Tonk Hits Nashville: Self-Guided Audio Scavenger Hunt on Broadway
Queue the Let’s Roam app, step onto Broadway, and let Nashville’s music guide you. This self-guided, 90–120 minute scavenger hunt blends trivia, photo challenges, and local lore along the neon-lined heart of Music City.
The Experience
Before You Go
Charge and conserve your phone
Bring a fully charged phone and a portable battery—GPS, photos, and the app drain power quickly during a 90–120 minute hunt.
Start earlier for fewer crowds
Begin mid-morning on weekdays to avoid weekend nightlife congestion and to read plaques and exhibits without a crowd.
Watch traffic and curbside loading zones
Broadway is busy with delivery vehicles and rideshare stops—stay on sidewalks and cross at marked intersections.
Tip and support local businesses
Challenges may send you past bars and cafes—if you enter or sample food, tip servers and buy a drink to support the venue.
Local Knowledge
Hidden Gems
- •Small historical markers off 3rd Avenue detailing early recording studios
- •A lesser-known mural alley between side streets that appears in photo challenges
Wildlife
- •Pigeons common around public plazas
- •Occasional river ducks and shorebirds along the Cumberland River
Conservation Note
Stay on sidewalks, dispose of waste properly, and support local businesses—tourism dollars help maintain historic sites and live-music venues.
Broadway evolved from a 19th-century commercial corridor into Music City’s live-music center after the rise of radio and recording studios in the early 20th century.
Photographer's Notes
- • Across the Cumberland looking back at Broadway’s neon strip
