      Fun on Fun
      This was so much fun!! It takes you aut of your comfort zone into a world of fun and creativity as well as helps you explore the island from a different perspective. I highly recommend this event. Debbie and Friends

      Something fun & different
      Highly recommend this if you’re trying to do something different. My husband and I (after 30 years of marriage) decided to do an “A-B-C…” theme date and the Arlington Adventure scavenger was our first date. It was perfect and we would love to get a bunch of friends together and do it again.

      Wonderful birthday surprise
      We had a blast! Great way to do something active, learn more about our city, and have a lot of laughs. We enjoyed it so much that we decided to try one in a city we’re traveling to next month as well!

      Once and a lifetime experience - Kat is amazing!
      If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure, look no further—Kat is an absolute legend! We are beyond thrilled with the experience she created for us. My husband and I wanted a unique, one-of-a-kind bachelor and bachelorette combo in the Bahamas, and Kat delivered something truly epic. Since there wasn’t a pre-existing scavenger hunt in the Exumas, Kat went above and beyond. She flew to the Bahamas ahead of time to personally meet with vendors and craft the perfect itinerary. Her dedication and attention to detail were unmatched. We had 26 participants in total, split between two themed boats: the girls were "Mermaids," and the guys were "Pirates." Every part of the experience was perfectly in theme, and the scavenger hunt was both creative and challenging. Everyone had an absolute blast—it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If you’re considering Kat’s scavenger company, stop thinking and book her now. You won’t regret it! Thank you, Kat, for making our event so magical and memorable!

      Not worth it
      This scavenger hunt is not worth it. We were expecting to meet up with a group. But the meeting point (a bar) had never heard this hunt, and there was no host or group to meet us. It was all just texts sent to our phone. And there was no urgency since we weren't competing against anyone. "Paul" (the "host") seemed like a bot, giving generic responses like "keep going!" If you do plan on going as one group/team, just pay for 1 person who will get all the texts. It'd be more fun to be able to walk to all locations, but most locations required you to drive 10 minutes away, and parking can be a pain. In the end, I think the final text said we got like 5 million points. We just got our final text after the 2 hour hunt, and that was it, no meeting point or host to regroup with.

      Best way to see New Orleans
      This was so much fun! My husband and I did it and loved it😍 … the perfect way to see and different parts of the city. We are definitely going to do this scavenger hunt again when we go to other places, so excited and can’t wait.

      Bachelor party south padre island adventure
      Thank you! We enjoyed walking along the beach and going to parts of the island we wouldn’t have otherwise visited! It was cool to see different residences and how locals handle forces of nature here. We learned about the sea turtle population and we learned that the groom is bad at keeping track of his accessories 😆 We especially liked that we were encouraged to take group photos to make memories together!

      Fun activity to do with the family and friends
      The tour was supposed to start at 2:00 but didn’t get off till 2:20. Other than that it was very easy to follow with pdf slides. I don’t think I would call it a scavenger hunt, more like get to your described location and document with photos and videos, more outrageous the better! It was fun to do with a large group (we had 4). Make sure there’s nice weather cause you will be walking for several hours. (We had beautiful weather!) overall a fun activity to do in the middle of the day. I think this would be a great way to introduce yourself to other locations around the world when you’re not familiar with it.

      Fun adventure in Palm Springs
      Our group of ladies had such a fun time! We found landmarks, did fun challenges, and interacted with locals. The hosts were in constant contact via What’s Ap cheering us on. What a great day! 😁

      Fun Experience!
      The Healdsburg scavenger hunt was super fun. I’ve done scavenger hunts before with different companies but this exceeded the rest. The missions were unique and created to maximize the fun at each spot found. This was a wonderful way to explore and get to know the town as well. It was also great to have the host cheerleading you along the way. Communication throughout the whole process was excellent. You could tell a lot of thought was put into it. I would highly recommend this adventure! :)

      ENJOY! DONT TAKE IT TOO SERIOUSLY
      The scavenger hunt was on New Years Day. So, some of the references were not applicable, as they weren't open. Also one referenced shop had closed for good. If you have a competitive spirit, this is NOT the event for you . The points are way to large to be relevant. Also, they don't tell you how you rank/faired against other participating groups. It was fun as something to do. So, don't take it too seriously.

      Waste of money
      The game was misleading. First location was a neon sign store. Closed. The first mission was miles away. We told the host we wanted walking. It would have taken over an hour. Locations were Goodwill, candy store and such. The missions were sent as texts. Complete stories to read outside, in the sun, on a cell screen. Lost all enjoyment and energy. Gave up. Waste of money, time, and the only day to see Austin.

      This experience is meh
      Not what expected as advertised. Free apps provide better walking tours. I can see Goodwill stores and candy shops anywhere. First location can only be entered by appointment

      Fun way to check out the town and laugh at each other.
      This was a really fun thing to do. It was just my boyfriend and I on the same team, so we ended up not completing it, but it got us to a lot of places in Helen, Georgia, which was fun. It would be a lot of fun with a group of people who split up because the challenges involve creating memes and talking with different people and videoing each other doing things which would be make me much more competitive if we knew who we were up against. The guide sent an informative video and was completely available by text all along the way. I am planning to do another with my enormous, competitive family during our next reunion this summer.

      Save your money
      We were disappointed with this experience. It was a slide show with questions and “missions” that were really just prompts about places to go and silly/possibly embarrassing (based on your personality) things to do in those places. It was a series of activities I could have put together for my family in less than 30 minutes and saved myself $50. The host sent some text responses (less than 5 words each and an emoji here or there) to the pics/videos we sent to show we completed the “missions” and then disappeared entirely 20 minutes before the end of the “experience.” We never heard from them again to conclude or know our “points”—even though a points system and leaderboard was mentioned…we never received any info/instructions on how to actually access or view it.

    This was a great way to see the city, and try things we wouldn’t have chosen on our own. It was great fun!
