      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.

      Fun but can be overwhelming if you have never done
      It took me awhile to really figure out how the game process worked. I’m electronically savvy, but If you are not, be prepared and good luck. So much at once! I don’t live/conduct things through my phone (I use my PC) so following the slides, watching YouTube video, using google maps, and learning to use WhatsApp ON THE SPOT, all why texts are firing away from the mobile host (all on a cellphone), can be a challenge and overwhelming for one person or to some in the beginning if you have never done this before. I ended up writing things out in my notebook. Too much swiping/switching phone screens, apps, etc.for me. So for my first time, I spent a lot of time swiping, switching Apps, trying to get organized, learning WhatsApp and looking at google maps. I was with 9 and 11 year who don’t have cellphones to help out. And got bored very quickly with my time delays. However, now that I understand how the game processes works, I will be better prepared next time. Although I will never do again with minor children if I don’t have another active phone user to help out. I recommend if this is your first time and you’re not a phone master, have somebody in your group who is willing to help. It’s a lot for one person to handle everything on a cellphone. Our mobile host kept in touch with me, friendly and encouraging.

      Amazing Hunt Adventure in Pigeon Forge, TN
      Looking for something fun to do?! Go on a hunt! My hubby and I were vacationing in TN for a week to ride ATV's, but took a day to travel to Pigeon Forge to do something fun and the scavenger hunt was it. We had so much fun running around the area and stores seeking out everything we could. From talking with locals to help us fulfill challenges, learning new things about the area, and taking in all the sights during our hunt was awesome!! This was our first hunt, but will definitely do more!! Our hosts, Kat and Paul, were great cheerleaders along the way and helped make this a great memory!!

      Great way to get to know a new town.
      I bought this for my twenty- something daughter and her fiance who moved to Cheyanne recently. They said they had a blast. "It would likely be better in warmer months, December is windy and cold, and between Christmas and New Years several things were closed, but there were great alternatives!" They loved the format of the scavenger hunt and said that the live assistant was great. They liked the variety of the challenges and learned about their new town. They recommended it for family vacations to new places, for new cities, and old favorites. "It was just us two, which was great, and I think it would be even more fun with a big group!"

      Excellent way to explore Marfa
      Booked a whim and the fun afternoon surpassed my expectations by a wide margin. Well curated event, cheerleading along the way and true fun.

      Unexpected stops, curious missions, a good time all around. First time but definitely not the last time. Lots of sights to take in and get your steps in.

      Fun
      It was really a great way to explore downtown Wichita and see some of the quirky places and things. We met several new friends along the way too.

      OUTSTANDING. AMAXING. SO MUCH FUN
      This was one of the most fun activities I've ever participated in! The hosts were super helpful and cheered us on with all our missions. The stops were amazing, and led us to places we likely would have never seen. We are already planning for our next one, and are looping our friends into the fun. DEFINITELY RECOMMEND. Also, fully family friendly, so bring the kids!

      Waste of money
      We found this experience awful. It started in a weird part of town, far away from downtown. Had to drive for parts of it, but by that time we were tired and hungry and hadn’t seen anything of Louisville except a residential neighborhood and a sketchy part of town.
