About this Experience
What you'll do:
You and your crew will race through Austin's most iconic neighborhoods, solving challenges and racking up points as you go. This isn't a standard city tour: it's a competitive, point-based scavenger hunt that takes you from West Austin into South and South Central, hitting landmarks, hidden gems, and local favorites along the way.
Explore Austin neighborhoods - Navigate your way through distinct pockets of the city while learning offbeat local facts at every checkpoint.
Compete for points - Accept creative, outside-the-box challenges at each stop and race against other teams or the live leaderboard.
Discover hidden gems - Venture beyond the usual tourist stops and experience the Austin that locals actually know.
Interact with the city - Talk to locals, take in the street life, and engage with Austin in a way a bus tour never could.
Celebrate your crew - Every challenge and checkpoint is a built-in moment to laugh, bond, and make the trip worth talking about.
Whether you're planning a bachelorette, a birthday, or just a great weekend, this Austin scavenger hunt and city tour gives your group a reason to move, compete, and actually experience the city together.
Why we love it for your group:
Covers real Austin - Walk through West, South, and South Central Austin with purpose and a leaderboard to push you.
Built-in competition - The point system keeps everyone engaged, not just the one person who planned the trip.
Works for mixed groups - Curiosity-seekers, reluctant participants, and competitive types all find something to grab onto.
No two runs are the same - Rotating challenges and local interactions keep it fresh even for Austin regulars.
Easy to make it your own - Day drinking is optional, and the route naturally passes spots to grab a mimosa or a Hurricane if that's the vibe.
