This was such a fun experience! Myself and 3 teenagers explored the town and had a blast. I work right in the middle of it and never knew about many of the places we discovered today. You can make it what is fun and enjoyable for yourself. Loose structure with guidance. No rigid rules. Fun memories and destinations to go back to see more of. Definitely make sure your phone is fully charged. Thank you

Our virtual host MaryAnna was very engaging and responsive. Despite the downpour, it was great fun to step out of our comfort zones and create special memories for our Birthday Girl.

Had such an amazing time!! Really enjoyed getting out and about in a town not familiar with. Doing crazy antics, finding local places that hold many cool things I would have never found on a vacation! Great way to see a city and have an agenda to make it more fun than just open sightseeing!

Must try the most Fun, Creative, and interactive hunt! Such a great interactive experience! The challenges were fun and creative; they got you to engage with not just the town but the locals who had such interesting businesses and art! Our host was great and encouraging along the way, communication was spot on

The communication was great! I would suggest, if people are meeting up from different locations, that you do so about 20 minutes beforehand, just so everyone knows what is going on. Trish, our remote guide, did a great job checking in with us to see if we had questions, and to encourage us along the way!

Absolutely Worth It! We had an absolute blast with this! Would highly recommend it many times over. Probably will look at doing similar scavenger hunts in other cities. This made the last day of our anniversary trip an absolute blast. Our host Jacquelyn was wonderful to work with
