Turn San Diego into a giant game board with this fun scavenger hunt adventure! This challenge combines the excitement of the Amazing Race with a 3-hour city walking tour. Guided from any smart phone, teams make their way among well known and overlooked gems of the city, solving clues and completing challenges while learning local history. Note: Pricing is per individual, but teams must book together in order to be included in the same adventure.
The adventure begins in Old Town San Diego and takes you on a well-designed course through Little Italy, the waterfront and down to the area of the war memorials. The tour requires approximately 2.5 miles of walking and uses the downtown transit system at one point in the game. The Quest has numerous stops along the route to complete challenges and decipher clues. The game software tracks team points and posts the final score to a city leaderboard for those with a competitive edge.
Using a smart phone as “the guide” allows participants to start when they want and determine their own pace of play, leaving time to stop to grab a bite or simply enjoy the scenery. Great for families, friends and those ready to have fun while seeing the city!
Please note that pricing is per individual but your team must book together. One voucher is valid for your team of 2-5 people.
Even though we come to San Diego every year, we still thought this was a really fun and different way to explore the city. Whoever thought of this is a genius! My only change would be to update the clues. We vowed to avoid using Google on this, but a couple of the landmarks and their associated signage had changed slightly since this was put together forcing us to cheat... only once or twice though.. in order to get all the info we needed. Great fun - I look forward to trying this out in a couple of other cities!
