One ticket per group is enough

Amy_T

, Mar 2022

Don’t buy more than one ticket for your group. This is very hands off. You will get a text of a pdf with places to go. You will be asked to send proof photos to a group of strangers. That’s it. Not worth the price for one person let alonemore than one. Not sure why they charge per person other than greed. They only send a couple texts to one person in the group.

Response from Host , Mar 2022

You would definitely need to participate in order to find out what the hunt is all about. You always have the choice of sending your photos to just your host. Our live interactive remote adventure coaches always introduce themselves and take great care of your group throughout the experience. I checked your communication thread and yours did. Unfortunately, your group didn’t participate beyond the beginning. You would need to complete the game in order to have the unique experience we offer. The vast majority of our guests have an excellent experience and we are so sorry you didn’t choose to join in on the merriment.

Family Fun??

This was too expensive for what you get. Good for adults, couples and 15yr old and up. Not good for younger kids, not a normal scavenger hunt where when you get to a location you find something you keep. My 8 year old grandson was bored and upset that there was not a treasure at each location. Example- at the first place you get a ring with a plastic charm representative of that location, then at each place you get another charm to add to your ring-like a plastic pug face from art for the people, a donut from Gourdough’s donuts, a feather charm from The feather clothing store, a bat charm from the Bat statue ….you get the idea. So at the end you have pictures of the group at each location and kids have a plastic key ring with a plastic charm from each place which will make it a fun adventure for them too. Plus with the cost being $22.00 for each person, it would only cost you the company penny’s to do for the kids in the family AND then it would be a happy and fun adventure for the whole family! Without raising the cost! Thank you 😊

Response from Host , Mar 2022

We are sorry to hear your grandson did not enjoy the experience. The vast majority of kids on our hunts do. It sounds like you were all expecting treasures at every stop, which is not something we advertise or include at all. Nonetheless, we offered you a free future hunt and even a free pre-hunt consult to set you all up for success and we hope you’ll use it. While intrinsically rewarding, our hunts are great for all ages!

Great Activity for All People

We saw very interesting places during the scavenger hunt. It's a great way to get out and about if you're active and competitive. It also offers many nearby locations so people can go at their own pace.

Fun for the first 3 stops!

Michelle_P

, Jul 2021

We were so excited to go on this scavenger hunt. The first three stops driving around Austin were fun and new. But the next few stops we’re all within 1/2 miles of a small area and kind of boring. I’d love to see these last few locations upgraded to be more prominent locations that are quality locations. We ended up bailing out as the fun of it all declined. But I will say the first 3 we’re great. The last 4 not so much.

Response from Host , Sep 2021

We are so sorry you didn’t get to experience the rest of our hunt! A hidden gem of a gallery with a great cause, a thought provoking new mural, a whimsical shop, an interactive art installation that many locals don’t even know exists, the great vibes of the SoCo neighborhood, and so much more awaited you. But one has to experience these hidden gems in order to appreciate them and in order to even know what we’ve curated for them! We welcome you to finish the game and update your review so that it will reflect a complete experience, rather than one that was barely begun. Email us to discuss a complementary gift from our company so that you won’t have missed out on an amazing adventure!

This is totally worth doing if there are areas of Austin you have always wanted to but never found the time. So fun!
