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) will host free, donation-based mushroom art decorating sessions at local shops and community organizations ahead of the event, along with family-friendly interactive activities, free art, and photo opportunities on June 13. Participants are invited to stop by, connect, and learn more about our work in building access to healing through art. Follow along @commonrootco and visit www.crcollect.org for updates, resources, and ways to get involved.

Participants can also 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, artists, and makers may host their own interactive side quests and activities during regular business hours:

Mush Love, Tee will serve as a featured side quest location, hosting a special wild card artist drop all the way from Alabama! Follow along @mushlovetee for drop clues and updates. A Colorado artist meet-and-greet will take place at 2:00 pm, where participants can also meet Common Root Collective (CRC). Details at www.mushlovetee.com

Captain Drips Tie Dye Studio will offer family-friendly classes throughout the day. Please check their schedule at www.captaindripsdyes.com for times and details. Follow along @captaindripsdyes

A free community art drop will be available at the COS Little Art Box (516 W Pikes Peak Ave, next to the COS Little Free Pantry). Follow along @cosprings_littleartbox

This is an all-ages experience open to anyone who wants to participate—whether actively hunting or simply exploring the city.

Please respect all spaces and follow event guidelines: artwork is hidden only in public areas, one piece per artist per person, and always leave no trace.

Costumes + pets are welcome, and participants are encouraged to explore and enjoy the full experience.
