It was fun, trying to find each section! It was exciting when the wristband vibrated! And I answered all the questions correctly! I had a great time doing it! From Lauren! ### 5/5 — *Best time ever!!!!! *2023-07-28, version 2.4.4* Absolutely loved out experience. Brandon was awesome at setting us up. 10/10 recommend this to any family. ### 5/5 — Extra Fun at the Zoo!! *2023-07-21, version 2.4.4* Went to the Philly Zoo today and this young girl asked if I wanted to do a scavenger hunt, which is something I did not know they offered. It was super fun and we all learned a lot about the animals. She told us when we returned that there were other hunts that we could do in the fall also. Looking forward to coming back!! ### 5/5 — Scavenger hunt at Philadelphia zoo *2023-07-21, version 2.4.4* This was amazing! It definately enhanced our zoo expierence and added tremendously to the fun! For parents it was extremely easy to use and alerted you when the upcoming checkpoint was near, for kids it was exciting to look for the checkpoints and learn about them as we hit them! Something great for the entire family and all ages! Definately will be doing this again !!! ### 5/5 — Philadelphia Zoo hunt *2023-07-21, version 2.4.4* Recently visited the Philadelphia zoo for the dinosaur exhibit and this app was amazing, the employees were very helpful and with the help of Kelly, got our watches synced right to our phone and was navigating our hunt in no time! Highly recommend app and hunt content was awesome! Can’t wait to go back! ### 5/5 — Fun game *2023-07-16, version 2.4.4* I was skeptical about going to the Philly Zoo today because of the heavy rain, but it turned out fun because they released a new scavenger hunt called CheQRboard game and it was exciting to play. CANT wait for the next game ### 5/5 — Amazing and fun activity to do! *2023-07-15, version 2.4.4* We had an absolutely wonderful time doing the hunt at the Philadelphia Zoo. The hunt gave us lots of cool and exciting facts about current animals as well as prehistoric animals. If your kids are dino lovers definitively do the dino hunt! ### 5/5 — Jacksonville Zoo IllumiNights *2023-07-15, version 2.4.4* What a fun experience with the kids. We had all the cousins together ages 6-14 and everyone had a blast doing the scavenger hunt; we even connected with a few other families on the same path as us. The Dancing Animals DJ quest was by far my favorite!!! Only suggestion is that sometimes the geo location of the quest was a few feet off. But still a 5 star 10/10 Recommend! ### 5/5 — Philadelphia zoo *2023-07-09, version 2.4.4* I had an amazing time and I would love to do it again!!!🥰 ### 5/5 — Very Fun and Interactive *2023-07-07, version 2.4.4* Participated in the scavenger Hunt during my visit to the Philadelphia Zoo and I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure experience brought to me by explorer quest! ### 5/5 — Way more fun than I thought!!!!!! *2023-07-05, version 2.4.4* I purchased the Scavenger Hunt in Philly with my zoo passes. Was THE best thing to keep my 5 kids engaged. They absolutely loved it! My wife and I enjoyed it as much as they did. Great educational facts. And they told me there are different hunts throughout the year. I might even bring the wife for the date night!!! Lol ### 5/5 — Jax zoo *2023-06-29, version 2.4.4* Recently used this app while taking my kids to the Jacksonville zoo! So fun and very easy to navigate! Wonder experience, would definitely recommend to friends! ### 5/5 — Fun for everyone! *2023-06-29, version 2.4.4* We went to the zoo and we were told about this app! It was a fun little scavenger hunt that gave lots of good information about the animals and their habitats! Truly made the experience so much better! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scavenger hunt *2023-10-22, version 2.4.4* We have done other scavenger hunts at venues. This is by far the worst. It actually brings you to non-animal exhibit so that your kids are distracted by buildings and statues rather than enjoying the animals because they want to get to the next point. There was no fun facts about animals or any educational activities as we were told there would be. Made our time at the zoo miserable. ### 1/5 — Not great *2023-10-21, version 2.4.4* Did not register 5 animals we did ### 1/5 — Interesting idea but poor execution *2023-08-29, version 2.4.4* We used this at the Philly zoo. Seemed like a good idea to enhance the trip and make it more fun for the kids, but it stopped working 20 min into the visit and I was unable to reestablish the link with the phone no matter what I tried. Needs more work. ### 1/5 — Fantastic evening with the family! *2023-06-03, version 2.4.4* What a fun way to learn. Thank you! ### 3/5 — It’s okay *2024-11-11* It is fun for kids but sometimes it stops working. It also gets boring for adults too. Sometimes it is also hard to find the correct location. It is a good game for kids from the age of 6-9. Some of the trivia questions are hard and you just have to guess. I hope they improve for the future! ### 3/5 — Jacksonville zoo *2024-06-24, version 2.5.8* App kept disconnecting from wrist device. ### 3/5 — Needs polishing, but fun. *2024-06-12, version 2.5.8* Someone needs to proof read the whole thing. Some of the descriptions were for the wrong exhibits. Some of the exhibits were geo-tagged to the wrong location. Overall, the experience is fun, but the app needs polishing. Wish it was a little longer or had more stops. Seemed a little short. Kids (6 & 9) both really enjoyed it. ### 4/5 — So fun and educational *2023-10-17, version 2.4.4* Great way to see the places and animals you may not normally experience! Highly recommend for all ages. ### 5/5 — Jacksonville zoo *2025-09-21, version 2.6.1* This was a great learning experience ### 5/5 — Really Fun! *2025-03-22, version 2.6.1* Really fun game! My son really enjoyed following the compass and doing all the activities and winning prizes! (NC State Student ran @ Pullen Park) ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Awesome thing to do in Philly!! *2024-10-12, version 2.5.8* Kelly was great and helped us set it up!!!! It was a lot of fun and keeper the kids on track checking out all the exhibits. Worth it! We had a 13, 10 and 6 year old do it - ### 5/5 — Great app for families! *2024-08-18, version 2.5.8* I did this last night with my kids at the Philadelphia ZOO and we had a great time! We all got one and found out so many facts we didn't know before about the animals. Will be trying again. 🫶 ### 5/5 — Scavenger hunt *2024-04-23, version 2.5.8* This was awesome! ### 5/5 — Great time at the park - lots of learning. *2024-04-08, version 2.5.8* Great time at the park - lots of learning. ### 5/5 — Super fun *2023-12-09, version 2.5.7* This is an awesome way to make the park more fun for kids and parents! ### 5/5 — Yeti Scavenger Hunt *2023-12-03, version 2.5.4* Thank you so much Jenny and Kelly!! You two are the G.O.A.T’s!! You all were very helpful and fun!!! We definitely enjoyed the game as a family!! Love ‘The Redmond’s’ ### 5/5 — The best thing I’ve ever done *2023-11-27, version 2.5.0* This was the single best thing I’ve ever done it was funny,fun, and giving me a workout. Brandon kankashi really embarked me to go on an adventure outside. I loved the design on Taz,and candy. ### 5/5 — Fun at the Zoo *2023-09-25, version 2.4.4* The kids had an amazing time at the Zoo. What a fun and creative way to interact with our kids while learning. Us moms had a great time afterwards too. We went to Abingdon Vineyards and the kids got on the free Wi-Fi and continued use the app. We talked about it all the way home. 10/10 would recommend --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
