Frequently Asked Questions
How do the scavenger hunts work?
On most hunts, you and your teammates search for answers to tricky, humorous questions about the places you discover. No prior knowledge is needed; just a sharp mind and comfy shoes. Hunts are led by a Hunt Host.
What are the questions like?
The questions are designed to be answered only when you are standing in the correct spot and are not easily searchable online. They aim to reveal interesting facts or prompt a laugh.
How large or small can the group be?
Groups can be as small as four people. For public hunts, teams are typically 2-6 people. Private hunts can accommodate larger groups, with options for small private groups of 12 or fewer.
What if the weather is horrible?
Hunts almost always run, rain or shine. If a hunt is canceled due to dangerous conditions or venue closure, you will be notified by email. Rescheduling may be possible.
Can I bring kids to an adult hunt?
Yes, but it's not recommended as the questions may be too difficult and there is no discount for children. It's better to bring kids to the family hunts specifically designed for them.
