About this Experience
What you'll do:
You and your crew take over Portland street by street, solving challenges and racking up points across the city's most distinctive neighborhoods. Every stop puts you face to face with local culture, quirky landmarks, and problems that require actual teamwork to crack.
Race other teams - Compete head-to-head or against the leaderboard in real time as your group navigates Portland's streets.
Solve location-based challenges - Use clues tied to real Portland spots, landmarks, and locals to rack up points at each stop.
Interact with Portlanders - Accept prompts that require you to engage with the people and places around you, not just your phone.
Explore on your own terms - Move at your group's own pace through Portland neighborhoods you might never have wandered otherwise.
Track your score live - Watch your team climb (or fall) the leaderboard as you complete each challenge.
By the end, you'll have covered more of Portland's personality than most visitors see in a full weekend. It's social, competitive, and genuinely fun for groups who want to actually do something together.
Why we love it for your party:
No experience needed - The challenges are designed for curious people, not trivia experts or athletes.
Fully self-guided - You receive everything you need ahead of time, so no waiting around for a tour guide or start time.
Built for groups - The competitive format keeps everyone engaged, whether your group has two people or twelve.
Great for bachelorettes and birthdays - The activity builds natural momentum and creates actual shared memories, not just a photo op.
Flexible on logistics - Stop for drinks, food, or a breather whenever your group wants; the hunt runs on your schedule.
