In Person Hunts
What will I be doing on the scavenger hunt?
That's a surprise, but know that you'll be doing quite a bit of walking, usually around two to three miles, while using clues and collaborating with your teammates to identify locations and solve puzzles.
How do the scavenger hunts work?
You'll meet your host at a designated location where each team will receive a book full of riddles and puzzles that can be solved by exploring the mapped area indicated in the book. You'll need to track down sculptures, murals, historic markers, and other surprises. All of our hunts are conducted on foot, there's no driving involved, and all answers can be found without going inside a building. Each hunt is timed, and you'll answer as many questions as you can before time runs out. All of the answers you find will also help you solve larger puzzles in your book, including word games and riddles.
How long does a scavenger hunt last?
All hunts are timed. Most take around two hours to finish. There's a 10 minute introduction and a 10 minute wrap-up at the end where we total the points and announce the winners.
Are the scavenger hunts 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, a knowledge of trivia will come in handy, and our puzzles are usually pretty focused on word games.
What if it rains?
We go rain or shine, but also understand that Dallas weather is unpredictable. We keep an eye on the weather and work with you to explore your options, including switching to an indoor puzzle hunt should an outdoor option prove dangerous
Are the scavenger hunts easier for people from Dallas?
Our hunts are built to reveal the secrets of a neighborhood, even to people who live here. Locals might have an advantage when navigating the map, but they're likely to be just as surprised as to the answers as an out of towner. We've certainly witnessed this when teams made up of locals and visitors compete.
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 not recommended. They tend to get distracted and weary, and most of the puzzles are too challenging for them.
What's the dress code?
Dress for comfort. Walking shoes and exercise clothes are strongly recommended.

How can I contact you?
Call 214-702-9612 or [email protected]. We can answer any question you have, book a hunt, or just chat.
How does a remote scavenger hunt work?
Once we've scheduled a time with you, we handle the rest. We'll set up the link, usually on Zoom, and send it to you to share with your group. When the event begins, you'll receive instructions from your host on how to play.
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.
How long 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.
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 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 usually 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 a virtual scavenger hunt?
Not at all! The great thing about remote games is that you can play from anywhere, with anyone anywhere. We’ve hosted folks from Honolulu to Boston, from Seattle to Miami, from Sweden to Australia!
Is there a virtual scavenger 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 remote birthday parties for kids as young as 8, and love to include customized elements that feature your kids’ favorite subjects.
Do you offer in-person hunts?
We do! Visit our Scavenger Hunts page for more info, and see more details below.
