Frequently Asked Questions

How can I contact you?
Call 214-702-9612 or
dfwscavengerhunt@gmail.com. We can answer any question you have, book a hunt, or just chat.


How does a remote scavenger hunt last?

You have one hour to complete your challenge. There’s a bit of introduction and wrap up as well, but you can expect your entire event to last between 60 and 75 minutes, depending on how quickly you solve the puzzles.


What will I be doing on a remote scavenger hunt?

You’ll work with your teammates to solve puzzles and answer clues in a hosted game. Sometimes you’ll also need to find items hidden in your own home! The games are diverse, giving everyone a chance to shine, but may include word games, photo ID, name that tune, trivia, or other surprises.

Are the remote scavenger hunts hosted?
Yes, every virtual scavenger hunt comes with a real live hilarious host who’s there to give directions, offer clues, and give you a hint or two when you’re stumped. 


Is it like a virtual escape room?

A remote scavenger hunt works a lot like an escape room -- you solve one puzzle at a time, and the more you solve, the closer you get to the final puzzle. The biggest difference is that when you’re done, you still can’t leave! Sorry about that.


How many people can play?

We recommend groups of at least 6, so that there are a lot of minds working together,. But as far as maximum, there’s no limit to the number of people who can join. If you’re a very large group, say, more than 40, we’ll split you into teams and challenge you to play against each other. We’ll rely on the chat to enter answers, but the games are all basically the same. 


What platform do you use to connect?

Our preferred platform is Zoom, but if your organization uses a different one, we can accommodate. We’ve hosted hunts through Webex, Google Meet, MS Teams, and RingCentral.


Do you offer virtual team building events?

Yes! We love hosting companies and organizations for team building, team bonding, and corporate events. A remote scavenger hunt is a great way to get everyone collaborating and thinking in new ways, and the diversity of our challenges mean that everyone gets a chance to show off their skills.


Do we have to be in Dallas to play?

Not at all! The great thing about remote games is that you can play from anywhere, with anyone anywhere. We’ve hosted folks from LA to Boston, from Seattle to Miami, from Sweden to Australia!


Is there a hunt for kids?

Yes! We have a variety of games that will work for any age group. Kids are welcome to join in our standard hunts. They might find the word games challenging, but usually love to run and grab the items for the scavenger hunt part of the activity. If you’re looking for an option that’s entirely for kids, we have that too. We’ve hosted lots of birthday parties for kids as young as 8, and love to include customized elements that feature your kids’ favorite subjects.

When will you offer in-person hunts?
We’re continuing to monitor the guidelines to see what’s safe. We’d love to be back out in neighborhoods by spring of 2021, but the safety of our employees, clients, and our neighbors is our first priority.

​Now it's our turn to ask the questions! Ready to BOOK A HUNT?

In-Person Hunts (Not Currently Available)

Here are some questions we get about our in-person hunts, which will be relevant again someday!


What will I be doing on the hunt?

That's a surprise, but know that you'll be doing quite a bit of walking, around two to three miles, while using clues and collaborating with your teammates to identify locations and solve puzzles.

How long does a hunt last?
All hunts are timed. Most take around two hours to finish. There's a 15 minute introduction and a 15 minute wrap-up at the end where we total the points and announce the winners.

Is it like an escape room?
If you like escape rooms, you’ll have fun. In our case there's just waaay more room. There’s puzzles to solve, and you’re timed, but you get to be outside! Unlike most escape rooms, you'll also benefit from a knowledge of trivia (especially local trivia), and there's usually some word games too.

What if it rains?
We go rain or shine, but also understand that Dallas weather is... strange. We offer the option of switching to an indoor puzzle hunt should an outdoor option prove unfeasible. This option requires that you provide a venue.

What should I bring with me?
We provide any tools you'll need to find and record your answers. You'll be responsible for comfortable clothes, walking shoes, and sunscreen. Bring water. Stay hydrated, this is Texas!

Can I bring my dog?
On all outdoor hunts, pups are welcome, but not recommended. They tend to get distracted.

What's the dress code?
Dress for comfort. Walking shoes and exercise clothes are strongly recommended.

How do I sign up for a hunt?
Visit BOOK A HUNT to get in touch with us and schedule a hunt. Wanna just call us? 214-702-9612. Or email dfwscavengerhunt@gmail.com

How many people can participate?
We recommend at least four people. We haven't yet identified what too many people looks like, so the more the merrier. As far as team sizes, we suggest teams no larger than six, just because that gives everyone a chance to contribute.

Do you offer team building events?
We love offering team building and corporate events for businesses. We've already worked with many businesses in the Dallas area and had a great time. You can schedule an event with us, or contact us to create a custom hunt based on your needs and budget.

Do you offer other events?
You might be interested in Buzzered!, our comedy quiz show event that's inspired by some of your favorite TV game shows. Answer trivia and solve stumpers in a battle of wits against your opponents.

Are the scavenger hunts created in Dallas?
Yes! Our events are all built, hosted, and run by a DFW resident. It's how we make sure the hunts are built on a love of the community and its history. Some scavenger hunts are created by a big corporation in some other state, and you pay to fly in a bunch of fancy consultants to host your event. We are right around the corner, and always there for your event.

Can you personalize for a special event?
We love creating custom events! If you're planning a party, we can include your name and your photo in the puzzle. If you're planning an event for your business, we can create custom pages that focus on your company's goals and values. Let's talk about how we can create a hunt that's right for you.

Are the scavenger hunts kid-friendly?
Our challenging hunts are intended for ages 11 and up. Little ones who can ride in a stroller will probably enjoy the ride, but the kids in between might get tired or bored. 

What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellations with at least 72 hours notice will result in a full refund. In case of cancellation within 72 hours of event,
client is responsible for 75% of the total invoice. Event date changes will require a new rental contract and may result in
additional processing fees. Events are held rain or shine. In the event of dangerous weather, including thunderstorms, events can be rescheduled at our discretion. Alternate indoor puzzles are available if a venue can be provided. If the event is not rescheduled within 6 months, the deposit is forfeited.
