If you wanted a game of hide-and-seek to last a couple hundred years, just pit Bigfoot against a unicorn.

Today is National Unicorn Day, and while there’s no real explanation for why it lands where it does, let’s be honest—if you’re celebrating a mythical creature, any day works. Unicorns, for the record, are basically horses with a single horn planted right in the middle of their forehead. No wings required…though if you want to imagine wings, who’s going to stop you?

So let’s say, just for fun, unicorns are real—and one decided to lay low in Lubbock. Where would it hide?

Here Are Seven Places A Unicorn Could Easily Dodge Paparazzi Around The Hub City:

7. The Tunnels Under Texas Tech
Those weird underground tunnels already have a reputation. If someone told you a unicorn was down there causing mysterious green gas, would you really argue?

6. Downtown Lubbock
We keep hearing about big plans and projects that don’t always materialize. Who’s to say a unicorn isn’t quietly living under all those “coming soon” ideas?

5. The Mall
Plenty of sparkle, plenty of hiding spots. An empty storefront by day, a glitter-filled playground by night—it tracks.

4. Prairie Dog Town
Not exactly crowded, not exactly quiet. A unicorn could blend in with the local critters and no one would think twice.

3. The Buddy Holly Statue
Why wouldn’t one legend hang out with another? Makes perfect sense.

2. The South Plains Fairgrounds
The lights, the smells, the leftover cotton candy vibes—it’s basically a magical magnet.

1. Right Outside Your Window During a Dust Storm
Let’s be real. A full-on horse with a horn could be standing ten feet away and you’d never see it through that wall of West Texas dust.
