About
Welcome to my tour guide designed interactive scavenger hunt!
These unique experiences are a departure from traditional scavenger hunts and are created to allow visitors to a new place to go deeper fast. They allow opportunities to talk to locals about fun subjects, get creative with the environment and act as detectives on the hunt for art and interesting local stories.
The magical part is the energy and uniqueness you bring to the table because every game ends up looking a little bit different. Its an chance to connect with your team mates in a lighthearted and fun way, get plenty of fun photos and videos and allow yourselves to just play.
The game is designed for all ages of people who enjoy exploring and being creative. Little ones do well on an adult led team.
This game is a co-creation between you & your interactive host who is customizing and interacting as you play. Specific correct answers get additional stories and facts from your host who is in your pocket on Whats App.

We visited Sabino Canyon many, many years ago but this adventure made it a whole new adventure. Learned lots about the area through this scavenger hunt. The clues and activities throughout were well thought out. Tara’s enthusiasm is infectious! Her interaction with us throughout the hunt made the hunt so much fun! Thanks very much Tara! We look forward to checking out your other hunts!Written 20 November 2024

- shelleyl7080 contributionsWorst experience ever. Don't waste your money.I have been on many scavenger hunts and by far this has got to be the worst unorganized hunt ever. Not to mention the items to be found were absolutely ridiculous and not fun. Alot of money for nothing. Very disappointed. Will NOT recommend Tara to anyone.Written 13 November 2024
- Explorer571622081290 contributionsTerrible and a rip offI did not enjoy this at all. It was not what I expected. It was awful having to keep going back and checking the list. I scavenger hunt is not singing to a cactus or taking a picture with something that matches your outfit. I assumed it was to find items. The majority was not at all about finding anything. I do not recommend this at all. It was a huge amount of money for nothingWritten 13 November 2024
- TajiB0 contributionsSuch a fun activity!What a fun way to explore Palm Springs! We had a great time. We enjoyed deciphering, Tara’s clues and discovering unique places in downtown Palm Springs. My friends and I appreciated the variety of activities that we were asked to do and the flexibility in choosing the order in the tasks that were provided to us. Tara was very responsive to us during the time we were playing the game and encouraged us every step of the way. Unfortunately it was a very hot day and that kept us from completing the entire hunt because we lingered longer in shady and air-conditioned locations. My friends and I did have to talk our way into one location because none of the employees seemed to know anything about the scavenger hunt. But we had lots of fun, the time passed quickly, and it was a great way to discover Palm Springs!Written 26 October 2024
- Jennifer W0 contributionsCreative unique scavenger huntTara was a wonderful virtual guide! The scavenger hunt was creative and fun! We loved learning more about Durango! Highly recommend!Written 15 October 2024
- Wanderer165852235060 contributionsGorgeousSo excited to visit Strawberry Hot Springs. Short, beautiful drive up to the Springs, only to be told we needed a reservation. We made one and returned the next morning. $20 for two hours. Completely natural pools diminishing in temperature as the top pool flowed down in to the next two pools. After two hours we were completely satisfied and ready for a long afternoon nap in our lovely resort. The day we were turned away we discovered a botanical garden in town that was so beautiful and free. Not to be missed.Written 7 October 2024
- fghamil0 contributionsGreat Family FunThis was so fun for my family. We learned so much about Steamboat while we were "racing". Tara is a wonderful hunt guide. She is so encouraging and fun! I highly recommend doing this when you are in a city or town that has this adventure.Written 5 October 2024
- Q2304BFaxeld0 contributionsFun and magical experienceNot my first Creative Soul Scavenger hunt but probably my favorite for the magical setting of Hidden Valley and the beautiful connection Tara curates with nature and the history of Hidden Valley. I could see my family was having so much more fun than everyone else hiking the trail and a couple people we met we happy to be part of one of our challenges. Loved out photos and videos to share with family who were afar.Written 29 September 2024

My wife and I along with our dog were looking to find a fresh way of exploring Taos and we stumbled upon this scavenger hunt via Airbnb. Tara was an excellent host and even given some of the restrictions due to COVID-19 we found this experience to be right up our alley. Tara had us meditating, exploring local art, discovering some the history of Taos, and even writing a haiku (see below). If you’re looking for an alternative way to explore Taos look no further.

My family had fun learning about Taos on this unique and creative adventure. Our favorite clue was learning about the local artist who painted El Viejo. Also stopping to smell Taos- which smell amazing....Great Fun.

Wow, this type of game is probably the future. Its so much more engaging than going on a tour, sitting is a bus or jeep behind a guide who talks the whole time. This engaging game requires guest go out in the community and do a little digging for their stores. We met some amazing people and learned more than we thought we would. I cant wait to try Taras. Santa Fe Hunt.

We were expecting a traditional scavenger hunt that would include chasing down historical locations and events associated with Taos, NM. Instead we were tasked with writing poems, sharing our feelings, doing yoga poses with total strangers, and many more strange assignments. We quickly realized it wasn’t for us and cancelled our participation after a few minutes. We were not offered a refund or even a discount on our 4 person $132 booking.

It says quite clearly on my listing this is not a traditional scavenger hunt. However, you do learn a lot about Taos history, interact with locals and get creative, which is what the creative ones who were drawn to New Mexico over the generations have done.The key element to have this experience is to DO THE CLUES. This family did drop out after they took one look at the clues and did not do one clue. They choose not to engage in any way. In this case, their own choice not to participate led to an poor outcome, when if they had given it a try they would have found it a rewarding learning and creative experience, as have my other over 170 five star reviews on my Trip Advisor listing for my business page. I do honor the Viator cancelation policy in all cases, but in this situation, canceling during the hunt, no refund can be expected by either Viator or the activity provider.

It's not often that a tour can give a new twist to a standard activity. The Taos Adventure Scavenger Hunt combines a morning nature walk with a primitive lesson in Arts and Crafts a history lesson or two about Taos and some out of the box and sometimes out of your comfort level activities which sometimes involve getting to meet new people as you complete some of the tasks.
Your tour guide is virtually part of you team as you communicate with her through the 2 some hours of activities.
I guarantee you will leave the activity put in a brisk walk, stretching you cerebral parts of your body and coming away with a new appreciation of the artsy town of Taos.

This was my fiancé's first trip to Taos, and what a perfect way to start it out. Tara was really fun to communicate with during the hunt and we learned a lot of history. There is no pressure at all and it's a really fun and unique way to discover a new town. Highly recommend!

I had been waiting to do one of these scavenger hunts for a long time! We had so much fun learning about and connecting with Taos. We had some great laughs with many of the creative activities. The best part was the awesome people that we met and the stories that they shared with us. We will definitely do another one of Tara's hunts in a different city. Thanks for a great time! We love Taos!!

If you're visiting Taos, this is a PERFECT way to start your trip! Tara is so well-organized, engaged, and kind, as well as knowledgeable. You will meet people you wouldn't have otherwise met and visit streets and places you would have just driven past. Treat yourself and do it!

With covid, we decided to do a western roadtrip for our vacation this year, first stop was Taos. We wanted to do something different and found this tour. A very engaging, self paced tour, but with lots of interactions with Tara. Explore Taos in a way you'd never do yourself....highly recommended! Lots of fun!

Sometimes you just need to wake up and have an adventure. If you're visiting Taos, definitely book this. The Saturday farmers market was happening, so it made the morning extra special. Tara does an amazing job curating this on-foot "treasure hunt" of experiences and opportunities to learn. She's on standby the whole time cheering you on. I did this as a solo traveler and had a very memorable time. Do it!
