Game of Shrooms: Free Global Art-n-Seek Event

This is a self-guided, all-day event taking place across Old Colorado City and Downtown Colorado Springs, with creative activities building in the weeks leading up to June 13.

Game of Shrooms is a free, global art-n-seek event and worldwide scavenger hunt created by artist Daniel “Attaboy” Seifert, celebrating independent artists and creative exploration. On June 13, artists across Colorado Springs will hide original, mushroom-themed artwork throughout the area. Participants can explore public spaces in search of hidden pieces—if you find one, it’s yours to keep.

To take part, follow participating artists as they release clues throughout the day. Clues may include close-up images, hints, or general location references to help guide seekers. Each artwork is original, tagged by the artist, and part of a global movement happening simultaneously around the world.

Common Root Collective (CRC)

is proud to support Game of Shrooms Colorado through the creation and distribution of Mush Creative Kits, available at Eclectic CO Downtown while supplies last. These take-home kits invite participants of all ages to create their own mushroom art and join the worldwide adventure of creativity, discovery, and community connection.

Mush Creative Kits are part of CRC’s broader mission to expand access to creative engagement through community-based initiatives including Bloom Bags, Root Boxes, the Root Network, mobile creative experiences, and nature-based creative exploration. By reducing barriers to participation and making art more accessible, CRC helps connect people with opportunities for self-expression, learning, and creative discovery.

Whether you’re hiding your first mushroom, searching for art treasures, or simply exploring your creativity, we invite you to learn more about our work and the growing network of creative opportunities available throughout the Pikes Peak region.

Participants can access an interactive map highlighting featured locations, participating shops, and optional “side quests” throughout Old Colorado City. These community-driven stops may include creative activities, artist features, and additional ways to engage with the event beyond the hunt. Participating shops, stops, artists, and makers may also host their own interactive side quests and activities during regular business hours.
