Got a prepaid ticket or voucher? Awesome! To redeem it, just add the scavenger hunt to your cart, then tap the link to ‘add coupon code’, enter your ticket or voucher number and the discount will be applied. Then complete checkout and you’re all set to play!
How do I reserve a day and time?
No reservations are required. You can play any day or time that fits your schedule. Just purchase the scavenger hunt you want, then head to the starting location when you are ready to play. Log in on your smartphone, access your scavenger hunt under the My Account section and tap the scavenger hunt to start playing!
Where does it start? Where does it end?
All our scavenger hunts end at (or very near) the place where they begin. Find the starting location by accessing the scavenger hunt under the My Account section (after you purchase and log in).
How do I install the app?
There’s no app to install! Once you purchase a scavenger hunt on our site, you’ll create an account on our website. Then you can use your account to log in and access all the scavenger hunts you have purchased and play any day or time.
Is the price per person? Or per scavenger hunt?
The price covers the whole group – we recommend 2 to 5 people for optimum fun for everyone in the group, and have designed the questions and puzzles to require a bit of teamwork in most cases.
Does everyone in my group get to play?
You’ll have a team captain log in to the My Account section to access the scavenger hunt on their smartphone. They can read the questions out loud to the group, or take turns letting group members read the questions. Then the whole group works together to solve each puzzle along the scavenger hunt. One person submits each answer for the group.
Can I bring more than 6 people?
Absolutely! Bring as many as you want. Please note: with more than 5 or 6 in a group, each person will have less opportunity to contribute, and probably have a little less fun. To keep it fun for everyone, we recommend splitting larger groups in to 5 or 6 people maximum, buying one scavenger hunt per group, and competing against the other groups to get the highest score. That way everyone gets to participate and have fun.
Can kids play?
Definitely! All our content is family friendly. Kids enjoy reading the questions to the group, and helping the group solve challenges. Even if your kids are too young to read the questions, they’ll enjoy listening to you read the questions out loud and helping you find clues and solve puzzles.
Includes educational resources, interactive project ideas and engaging pre and post educational visit activities.
