FAQ: City Scavenger Hunts
What is a self-guided city scavenger hunt?
A self-guided city scavenger hunt turns a real city into your game board. Instead of following a tour guide, your team uses a smartphone to solve clues and complete challenges that lead you from landmark to landmark at your own pace. Urban Adventure Quest combines sightseeing, strategy, and friendly competition into one Amazing Race-style adventure you can start whenever you are ready.
How much do your scavenger hunt games cost?
Each Quest is a flat $49 for a team of two to five players. That is one price for the whole group, with no per-person fees, no reservations, and no hidden costs. A few city hunts note a small transit or shuttle fare, but the game itself is always one flat rate.
How long do the city scavenger hunts take?
Most Quests take about two to three hours and cover one to two miles at an easy walking pace, though times vary by city. Because every hunt is completely self-paced, you can take breaks for food, photos, or a rest whenever you like, and pick up right where you left off.
Do I need to download an app?
