What is "It's a Scavenger Hunt!" ?

This all age activity is a smartphone-guided event where you play alone with your group in your own neighborhood on your own schedule by following instructions provided by the in-game host.

Fill your virtual scavenger sack with the items you help choose through riddle-like clues!

Explore your surroundings, attempting to quickly locate a variety of items as they are revealed one at a time by your game master.

Get outdoors, get creative and try to get a top spot in the It's a Scavenger Hunt!™ Hall of Fame.

Teams are timed and each item found will be appraised and a combination of these two factors will be used to rank you against other teams.

How many people can play?

Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but teams of two, three or four work best as your group will need to follow along on a single mobile device.

What time does this start?

Because this game is self-guided by the in-app game master, you can play It's a Scavenger Hunt!™ in any city anywhere in the world and at any time on any day - no reservations required!

We recommend playing during business hours as it will make it easier to locate many of the items you must find.

Most groups complete the scavenger hunt in around 90 minutes.

Some places that we advertise with require us to provide a specific location plus an event date and a start and end time.

However, there are no restrictions on these tickets so you can still play at any time on any day, in any location.

Where do we play?

It's a Scavenger Hunt! is designed to be played in a busy populated area, such as a shopping mall or downtown shopping district.

However, anywhere with a variety of publicly accessible businesses and outdoor spaces is a potential location to play.

If the weather is inclement, an indoor shopping mall is the ideal rainy day location to play.

What's the refund policy?

All sales are final. Tickets are good for one year form date of purchase.
