Fun but a few recommendations
Purchased this for my family who was visiting from out of town. Setting it up was pretty straightforward but did have to call and sign out and then back in again to get it working, NBD.
The review said 2.4 miles of walking, but we didn’t realize it wouldn’t take you back to the starting point, so when we finished we still had 1.5 miles to walk back to the car. That would have been good to know ahead of time.
The little challenges throughout were fun, but had not thing to do with the location. Kind of strange.
I noticed a fair number of typos - minor issue, but still.
Overall, this is a fantastic idea and a great way to get people up and moving and using their phones to do so. Just a few tweaks and it will be perfect! We will definitely do it again!Show lessEtoile34
Great idea
We fully enjoyed the day, learning new things about our city, and having fun with the challenges and photos. We’ll go again and search for doing it in cities we’ll be visiting.nonhckname
Great Houston scavenger hunt
We had a great time learning about things in the museum district of Houston. We liked the variety of activities and loved taking pictures. The only problem we had initially was figuring out how to access our prepaid tickets through the fox shop. Finally I found the video that pointed me in that direction. It would have been nice to have that explanation in the email receipt. But we finally figured it out and had a great time!Show lessHealthy Jeanie
Good
It was a good experience but the clues were too vagueJohn Cairo
Great experience- but prepare to be spammed every 2 minutes
We purchased a hunt for our family and had a great time. The Hunt was fun and informative - we even purchased a few for gifts for the holidays.
However, be prepared to be SPAMMED with notifications from the app. Even while writing this review on my phone I have been notified 4 times with different messages from the app about planning a corporate retreat. This is SPAMMING. Unfortunately I will be uninstalling the app immediately to stop the avalanche of notifications.

Cool experience
We did the tour at night because we wanted to add an extra level of challenge. Even at night it was easy to navigate and locate the items on the tour. Would definitely do it again in another city.Bears Fan in Nola
A great family activity!
We did the Charlotte, NC hunt with 8 people. Everyone was involved, and we all learned about and enjoyed a beautiful city! There is a lot of walking. Our group was fine, but it might have been difficult for small children. Highly recommend for an interactive group activity!!dlgrel
Poorly executed, not that fun
My friends and I did the scavenger hunt in Dallas and were highly disappointed. Interesting idea, poorly executed. There were quite a few spelling mistakes, not many interesting facts, and could have included more interesting places. Additionally, I could not even use the app on my phone. It requires the user to purchase coins to receive a ticket. I was charged three times for the coins because the “server was down.” After all that, I did not even receive any coins. I had to call for a refund the following day, which was perhaps the only pleasant experience I had with this app. I’m not sure why it has received such a high rating. Overall, could have been a really fun experience but turned out to be another poorly executed app.Show lessAngelique_bebe
Not worth the money
We got this as a fun activity to do with the family. For what we paid for, it ran horribly and was unclear and confusing. The app has access to the GPS, so I’m not sure why it wouldn’t notify us when we got to each landmark. Not only that, but once we got to the landmark, it was unclear what was a question for the team and what was a challenge for the individual. As a result, we missed half the questions because we didn’t know if it was a challenge or part of the game. It was a waste of money and you’ll have more fun walking around the city looking up and around, rather than looking at your phone.Show lessstanleymcgee
Fun game, but weak ending.
Did the Plano, TX scavenger hunt, and was really enjoying it for a good amount of time. It was fun, informative, and a great activity to do with the family.
However, about halfway through the hunt, the scavenger locations started to get further and further apart, and weren’t nearly as interesting as the locations in the first half (like, the final destination asked a question about the color of the slides at a park, as opposed to earlier questions being about historical landmarks).
The real kicker was the scavenger hunt ended a mile and a half from the starting point (where our car is located). So, instead of looping us back to the start point, the hunt left us over a mile away from our car, standing next to a busy road in a town we’re very unfamiliar with (we drove in from a town about 30 minutes away to try it out). We were expecting the route to loop back, and when it didn’t we were sorely disappointed. Would have been a nice heads up to know the route didn’t loop. Ended taking a Lyft back.
All this to say, I think I’d give the app one more try, as it was pretty fun for the first half. I won’t be recommending to friends yet, and if the second time isn’t great I probably won’t do it again, but it’s worth a shot because it’s a good concept.Show lessBillybobjon
