Our very unique, immersive adventures are the only ones of their kind. We, unlike other companies, provide your very own remote, interactive, live host to assist and encourage you along through your phone. 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 To Expect

Your creative, nontraditional scavenger hunt begins at a scenic spot that's a local favorite. You'll get your digital quest from your live and interactive remote host.

You'll walk or drive to the various checkpoints as you solve clues, accept wacky challenges, and getting outside your comfort zone! Both family and dog friendly, the game alternates between the indoors and outdoors, with plenty of bonus challenges too! You'll text photos to your remote host, who cheers you on and assists, as you play to document your progress. You can even interact with the locals to solve clues. You won’t be able to avoid having fun, uncovering hidden gems and local secrets, making memories, laughing, and learning along the way! You’ll be part of the rich culture of this dynamic city! Every turn is full of surprises, so questions in advance are welcomed. Check out all 300 of our city hunts!

Hot day for running around

It was a little hot and I should have realized it was going to be on my phone. I thought it would be a group led on a walking tour. My phone battery died and we used my boyfriend's. All in all we enjoyed the challenges
Proceed with caution!

The business listed as a meeting place has no knowledge of this activity. They do not appreciate being stated as a meeting place. They would appreciate contact from the scavenger hunt company. My first contact from the company to prepare for the event was at 10:38am for an 11am event. I missed the text because I was talking with an upset coffee house employee. All of this is very poor business practice.
Great time!

This hunt was a lot of fun! Our host Melanie was amazing so fun and made our hunt run smooth! We come to Hot Spring every year for our anniversary and this hunt forced us visit some neat places we had never been downtown! We met some nice people and laughed the entire 2 hours! 10/10 recommend!

While we had our grandkids on spring break and trying to decide the best and most fun way to enjoy a day in Hot Springs we decided to go with this scavenger hunt. It did not disappoint. The kids loved it (14-12-9) and it kept them engaged (and not arguing) for the full 2 hours and if our schedule would have allowed, we could have kept going. It was easy to follow; not to difficult to complete and just a lot of fun! I highly recommend this activity.

Great way to learn the area. The virtual scavenger hunt was loads of fun. Each group member could use their own phone which made it much easier. Had fun taking all the photos and submitting for points. Great interaction with our virtual host MaryAnna.
Fun in Hot Springs!

This was an anniversary trip for me and my husband. We had a blast running up and down Central Ave acting out all of our missions. We learned a lot about Hot Springs and enjoyed every minute of it. Will definitely use Alley Kat Adventures in the next city we visit!
You have to be smart

OMG 1000% recomend for everyone and dogs becuas me and my family went together and had the best of time. But i have to say that they dont tell you much about how to do anything anything so but you have to just be smart and not not smart if you know what i mean. Anyways, i recomend for familys and children and adults who are smart and pets are good because you can take them on a walk while you do it. Also, your dog can smell the scavenger hunt objects.
A fun filled, unique two hour adventure

We had a great time on our scavenger hunt. We met new people and learned several interesting stories from the locals. One lady we interviewed said that her grandfather was a bootlegger and used the Hot Springs water to make his “beverage” of choice.
