3.00It was a great experience but we were expecting to find “things”. However; it was wonderful way to get you involved in the city.
Fun experience but needs some updates

4.00The overall event was fun. The hosts were interactive and supportive over WhatsApp. This gets 4 instead of 5 stars because two locations on this hunt are no longer present (a piece of art that has been removed and a shop that is permanently closed). This experience needs an update.
Simple fun!

4.00A fun outdoor adventure. Park near the Mem Union and spend the next few hours on foot, in and out of various venues in the heart of Madison. Follow the quest provided at the start time for some video and knowledge challenges. You receive destinations but there are always options so you can make the time your own. We did this in winter and dressed appropriately it was a terrific way to enjoy the season and sites.

3.00There were some fun activities, but some of the places they sent us to weren’t open during the hunt. Maybe better research when planning these events?

5.00This was such a fun way to see Madison! I tried things I never would have tried and had a blast. Having objectives for each stop helped me really engage with the area. My guide, MaryAnna, was especially fantastic--so kind and interactive as I explored. Would recommend for anyone!
Team building at it's best.
