About this Experience
What you'll do:
Your group takes over Chicago street by street, solving location-based challenges and racking up points as you go. This is a real Chicago scavenger hunt, built around the neighborhoods, culture, and characters that make the city worth exploring.
Explore Chicago neighborhoods - Navigate your way through historic pockets of the city using clues, prompts, and a virtual guide.
Solve creative challenges - Test your group's creativity and quick thinking with tasks that go well beyond trivia.
Interact with locals - Complete social challenges that pull you into real conversations and genuine Chi-Town moments.
Race the leaderboard - Compete against other teams in real time, adding a layer of friendly rivalry to the whole experience.
Earn points for your party - Every completed challenge moves your team up the board, so the energy builds from start to finish.
Whether it's a birthday, bachelorette, or just a group that wants a better Saturday, this is the kind of Chicago group activity that turns a good trip into a great story.
Why we love it for your party:
Instantly social - No awkward warm-up; the format gets everyone talking and moving from the first clue.
Built for mixed groups - Works equally well for competitive types and casual explorers, so no one feels left out.
Drink-friendly pacing - The route flows naturally past bars and patios, so a Bloody Mary or mimosa fits right in if you want it to.
Genuinely Chicago - The challenges are rooted in real local culture, not generic trivia you could do anywhere.
Flexible group size - Scales from a small crew to a large party without losing the energy or structure.
