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. Then you’ll take off on your own to experience a wide variety of carefully curated locations in town. 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! Great for corporate groups, tourists, curious locals, bachelor(ettes), birthdays, families, friend trips, and other special groups!

Waste of money - do not recommend

1.00This was a total waste of month and I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. It focused on one corner of the city that was pretty dead mid day on the weekend. Even the coffee shop meetup point was closed. There are so many better parts of the city we later realized! Didn’t include any history or interesting information about the city, which we were really hoping for. Definitely didn’t take up the 2 hours it was supposed to. Give Chat GBT a thoughtful prompt and have a better experience and save yourself the money.
Just be creative and have a good time!

5.00It was so much fun! Once we realized that the hunt is what we make of it, we started improvising and doing so much better. We all had to download WhatsApp and create our group. The organizers sent us a file with a list of tasks we could complete to earn points. We then just randomly picked different ones and (dare I say) came up with our version of what could pass as a completed assignment. When we completed each mini-adventure, we took a picture or video and sent it to the organizers. They were very encouraging (and funny) and kept us going. We didn't need to (or want to) walk very far and found many things that could be done within a few blocks. Essentially, we were trying to get as many done as possible while having the most fun. There were no prizes (other than having a great time), and we didn't compete against anyone (so no pressure to do things quickly or perfectly). We had to be very "creative" to accomplish as many tasks as we did, which resulted in a ton of laughs. If you participate in this scavenger hunt, don't take it too seriously. Try to have a great time, and I'm sure you'll end up with a million or so points in the end, along with some great memories!
It was so-so

3.00It was fun but I was expecting more than a group chat. I thought there’d be like a virtual guide or something. What I and my kids did we could have done without paying money. It wasn’t bad or anything it was just so-so.
Lots of laughs

4.00We had a great time doing this scavenger hunt. Laughed a lot. Only downside was we weren’t sure how to start - kind of confusing.
Fun way to explore...

5.00Fun way to explore Milwaukee with friends. Would definitely recommend the scavenger hunt. Try it for fun
Not for us

1.00Do not recommend. They charge by the head even for children who are not on a phone. I'd understand space and work capacity if it was an in person led program but seeing it's a virtual hunt that literally creates no additional work for the remote host it seems silly. Also I don't understand why each person needs it on the phone when we need to take selfies, etc. Maybe I'm getting old and ornery but not the experience we had expected. Fortunately they did credit us but not sure we will ever use it. One activity was to "conduct a social experiment". Not sure what they meant but wasn't a fan.
Such a fun way to learn about the city!

5.00My friend and I (two middle-aged moms ☺️) did this scavenger hunt as part of a birthday weekend — we had SO much fun! The clues weren’t difficult but were just challenging enough to keep the fun going all the way through. We darted around town, laughed and enjoyed. And what a great way to see and learn about the city! Will definitely do another Alley Kat Adventure tour in another city.
Fun times with family

Birthday bonanza

5.00We were looking for something unique to do to celebrate a birthday. This fit the bill perfectly. Just the right amount of time and variety. Fortunately, we had beautiful weather, and our cheerleader was amazing.
It was a very fun...

5.00It was a very fun experience. We got to wander around the city in search for things you normally would not think to find on your own!
