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.

User friendly, well created, fun experience. Engage at your own comfort level! - This was such a great way to start the year! We were able to really make this our own; the challenges were thoughtfully created and took into consideration different scenarios (like if a location was closed unexpectedly). If you're a bit socially anxious, you can choose who you play with, everything was remote for us. It was so easy to get started and get into each challenge. We loved our experience and our host was great. Definitely recommend! We want to try another with more people!

The scavenger hunt was great but HOT. I think we would consider doing it again when it is not 100 degrees outside. - The stores we visited were pretty neat and everyone was willing to play along with us when we asked.

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.

Poor wording - must exit vehicle - Not good for handicapped. Description says "as you drive from place to place"... Don't do this tour if you want it to be exclusively driving. Deceptive wording. I asked many questions before and just as the event started but just got the answer of "do what you want to do." I wanted the complete activity I expected to receive. I paid for this tour to escape 100+ degree temperatures because the description showed DRIVING. Please see my attached photo. Credit offered by merchant for a different tour but I am not traveling in the small time window offered.
