Frequently Asked Questions

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 get the scavenger hunt clues on their phone?

No – we find that allowing individuals to off on their own devices takes away from the team building fun. So each team works together on a single device for the entire scavenger hunt.

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 the Scavenger Hunt Walking Tour be used for team building?

Definitely! Split your group into teams of 5 to 6 people. Send one Gift Certificate to a captain for each team. Each team captain uses the Gift Certificate to register their team. Then have the teams stagger their start times by about 5 minutes. Then have a blast competing for the high score!

How many tickets do I need?

Buy one scavenger hunt per team. Teams should be between 1 and 5 people.

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 it walkable?

Yes! All our routes are fully walkable!

Are there any extra costs?

No, there are no extra costs!* Except in Seattle, where we recommend taking the Monorail and each person needs a round-trip ticket.

How far ahead should I book it?

For team building, we recommend booking at least a few days in advance and have each team lead redeem their voucher before they arrive – such as the night before or the morning of the event.

Is there a time limit?

No – unless you choose to set one for your team building event! We don’t enforce any time limit; we encourage you to take your time and explore the many sights you’ll find as you explore the scavenger hunt. We recommend teams compete for the high score, not the fastest time!

Where does it start?

See the map zone on this page that shows the approximate play area. Start anywhere in or near that zone. We recommend redeeming your ticket/voucher before you arrive, so once you get there you can start playing right away.
