Daughter Mom Team Loads Of Fun!!
What a fun time… we have lived in the Houston area for the last 8years and been to Galveston many times but had no idea of some of the places we saw. Was so much fun gathering new fun facts. We visited places we would have never visited but so thankful we did. We learned many things.

So much fun
the Scavenger Hunt is so much fun and I will be doing it again in other cities they offer for sure. Had a tour guy via WhatsApp that was amazing and so helpful. We got to see things we probably never would have on our own.

Awkward and uncomfortable
We're frankly disappointed and a bit irritated. It's clear that most of the businesses don't know about this scavenger hunt. It put us and the businesses in a very awkward position. One question asked about the owners cats... and she told us two of them died and they don't like being asked about them. E stopped after the 3rd business complained to us about it. We also would have appreciated a heads up about having to pay parking.

Great way of seeing the city
This is a great way to explore Galveston! We saw a lot of cool spots that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. Definitely worth it and will check out other cities. My only suggestion is splitting the leader board into cities.

Trotting through Galveston
This hunt was active & fun! We learned A LOT about Galveston while we laughed trying to figure out the stops through the clues. You need to be comfortable interacting with some shop owners for "help" - we found everyone to be super kind. The virtual host was helpful and kept us motivated. It's important to know that your captain must have a fully charged phone and can navigate the clues through WhatsApp as this is how the host communicates and how the map is sent. Our family enjoyed our 2 hours! We found the need to drive to portions of the hunt (due to the weather) and there is a lot of walking between a few clues which we expected~Just info for those with mobility needs. We will use this company again!

Scavenger hunt
It was a fun time. You get out of it what you put into it. The more we interacted with people the more we learned and the more interesting it was. Look forward to doing it again in a different city.

Short trip to Galveston
This was a great opportunity to see spots we would not have known to look for without the scavenger hunt. I recommend doing it in the order provided and not the reverse order.

Great tumw
My daughter and I had a blast running around Galveston. Checking out the shops and finding out a lot about the history of Galveston. Doing the challenges were fun too.

Thumbs done
This was our only fail in Galveston. Maybe if we’d gone earlier in the week before we’d already seen most everything on the hunt, it might have been more entertaining. Several shop keepers mentioned that it needs to be updated.

Operator response
The guest received a full refund. Her experience was very isolated and unusual compared with the overwhelming majority of our guests. Had the customer done the whole hunt instead of just a portion, we feel she would have felt differently. Note: She decided to remove her review and tried to multiple times but got an error message.
