This is a huge scam, started by a “former teacher” turned conman. She is completely ignoring me and I have tried to contact her in every possible way. This “scavenger hunt” completely ruined my bachelorette party, and she’s doing absolutely nothing about it. It was a huge waste of money, completely pointless, and overall a SCAM. Do not fall for this. Do not give this woman any of your money. She lies about what this is (we chose the “walking scavenger hunt” because we didn’t have a rental car & the things she claimed we could walk to, keep in mind it’s a 2 hour hunt, we’re 40-50 minute walks..?!??!). She created this “scavenger hunt” on ppt or canva, and she won’t send it to you until the day of your hunt. Because she knows if she sends it before people would cancel and ask for a refund!! Now she’s ignoring me and me and my friends are just out all of the money we spent. It’s amazing to me that people like her live with themselves.

Be ready to make memories that will last a lifetime!
My best friend and I had an absolute blast during the scavenger hunt; we laughed until we cried and made memories that will last a lifetime. The app was fun and interactive. The scavenger hunt hosts was friendly and fun. Getting outside and moving around was refreshing! We are excited to invite more of our friends along for the next one!
