We are an Austin, TX-based global custom event design company offering scavenger hunts and other events in 300+ cities in North America and beyond. Our specially hand-crafted adventures are equal parts tour, creative challenge, detective hunt, and social experiment!

Guests get to discover in an alternate reality our favorite hidden gems off the beaten trail and creatively interpret fun art, history, and culture clues - for points! They get to enjoy fame and glory while appearing on our website’s international leaderboard, no matter what their score. They get to essentially race other teams in other cities, even if they don’t have competitors who have signed up in their city that day. Get ready to discover unusual oddities, laugh out loud, and make the experience your own!

What a fun experience! A great way to see the town and meet people. We laughed so hard!!! Talked with locals, danced and even hung out with cops and not in handcuffs. 🤪
Great way to explore the human aspect of Helen GA

Little confused at first how the scavenger hunt was run, but once we started we loved being able to lead our group to any of the many missions and were able to take breaks if the 2hr time frame was too strenuous for us. My favorite part was being able to connect with the locals in a unique and non-manufactured way. :)
Fun way to check out the town and laugh at each other.

This was a really fun thing to do. It was just my boyfriend and I on the same team, so we ended up not completing it, but it got us to a lot of places in Helen, Georgia, which was fun. It would be a lot of fun with a group of people who split up because the challenges involve creating memes and talking with different people and videoing each other doing things which would be make me much more competitive if we knew who we were up against. The guide sent an informative video and was completely available by text all along the way. I am planning to do another with my enormous, competitive family during our next reunion this summer.
Fun afternoon!

This an absolutely useless exercise . I tried to figure out how to connect to the instructions, I downloaded two apps that I didn’t want, and called customer service. I was connected to a non native English speaker who kept insisting he was sending me SMS instructions with a link. Finally I figured out it was emails he was sending. It still didn’t work, so then he sent me to the tour guides. Tour guides switched me to several different people and told me to watch a self explanatory video. All this took an hour. I could not understand the video because of incessant horrible road noise where we supposed to start the tour. The guide told me I just needed to turn up the volume, but I had the volume as loud as I could get it. So we just gave up. The place to meet is a tight little sidewalk, with no shade . This is absolutely not for anyone over 25 years old. And they won’t refund your money, so don’t waste it or your time. They lie in the advertising, about being able to drive around and use public transportation, and there is nowhere to park in the immediate area.
Great way to get to know a city

This is an excellent way to spend an afternoon on vacation in a city that you may not know a lot about. I would highly recommend customizing your experience in advance by filling out the questionnaire. This was a wonderful opportunity for our friends and we had a fantastic time. We were on our own, but had wonderful feedback and encouragement remotely from our virtual guide guides. Two hours went by in a blink of an eye. At the same time, we experienced many interactions with people in the town as well as that we might ordinarily have overlooked.

This small German town in Helen (Georgia) has a lot to offer, water rafting, log cabins and excellent German food. The people is very friendly and welcoming. Very reasonable prices for everything.

Great time in Helen, GA. Excellent communications prior to and during the scavenger hunt. Instructions were clear and we started on time. We visited places we did not know existed and met a lot of interesting and friendly people, including two very engaging librarians. We look forward to another hunt in another location as we travel.
While Helen was Hot, this experience was heavenly

This experience was a whole lot of fun! The hints took us to places we wouldn't have visited, and was both entertaining and educational. We got to visit shops, libraries, museums, talk to the locals and learn the history of Helen. Our virtual "escort" Jackie was a joy to chat and banter with. We highly recommend this.
