      Fun, unique, different experience that I can’t recommend enough!
      This activity is unlike anything we had done before. It took us off guard to play such a unique game! This hunt gave us the chance to be challenged to find local spots, let our inner child have fun and crack up with each other. I would highly recommend this activity to those who want to try something new, get a little silly and overall enjoy each others time together. It was my mom, boyfriend and self and we absolutely loved it. We created videos for most of our “missions” and now we’ll be able to look back in those videos and memories we made.

      Cute little activity
      Was good to have an objective while visiting the town rather than walking around aimlessly. Had cute dates to get us out of our comfort zone and get lots of pictures to have from our trip

      Great Hunt in Helen, GA
      Great time in Helen, GA. Excellent communications prior to and during the scavenger hunt. Instructions were clear and we started on time. We visited places we did not know existed and met a lot of interesting and friendly people, including two very engaging librarians. We look forward to another hunt in another location as we travel.

      Fun adventure
      Had a great time doing the Groovy Geneva scavenger hunt. Learned about some great new places to visit in Geneva, while having a great time doing it.

      Fun with friends and family!
      This was fun! Occasionally uncomfortable, often hilarious, and a great way to spend a couple of hours getting to know Provincetown. The facilitators were good and kept us engaged. I highly recommend it if you are in a new place and want to have fun exploring.

      A waste of money
      This is not a traditional scavenger hunt. You need to be tec savvy. We expected clues to take us places around Hyannis but instead got a variety of tasks to choose from which seemed very generic. Later we learned that this company operates these hunts in 600 locations so naturally they are not tailored to the area. Very disappointed.

      Scavenger hunt
      It was a great time getting to explore somewhere new. Enjoyed it very much. It took us to many different spots and had us talking to many different people.

      Gotta do this tour!
      Love the online - start-when-you-want format. My wife and I appreciated the different places to go, the very cool and informative merchants we met along the way, and the things we got to see. Lots of fun!

      Good idea. Poor execution.
      While we loved the concept of doing a scavenger hunt through Portland to see the sites, this experience under delivered. We knew there wouldn’t be anyone physically with us but had anticipated more interaction as we went from spot to spot. Instead, we were sent a pdf doc via canva (???) a few minutes before the game started, which contained all of the missions together. We were instructed to snap pics via WhatsApp as we completed a task. It was a pain to keep going back and forth between WhatsApp and canvas to navigate the game—why not make it like a real scavenger hunt and sent us one clue at a time? When we sent a pic, we received very generic responses like “good job” or an emoji, which made us wonder if it was just a bot replying to us. We were told the missions were in geographical order but they weren’t, so we were zig zagging back and forth throughout the town. We liked the exercise, but it seemed pretty disorganized. The missions themselves were mid. In one location, we were told to find the cat that resides there only to learn that this cat died 4 years ago-has this thing been updated?! Another location was closed when we arrived. We didn’t receive any background info about what we were looking for so we didn’t really learn anything about the city along the way. After 2 hours, the “game” sort of ended. The bot host congratulated us on earning 5 million points and then asked if we’d like to leave a tip. Wha?! After spending $100 for a family of four to read through a slide deck of half-assed missions, the only tip I would leave is — you can do better. We still managed to have a good time because it’s vacation and we made the very most of it. We celebrated earning our millions of points with a tasty lobster roll.

      Need to be tech savvy to participate
      This adventure sounded so fun however you need to be a bit tech savvy and be on instagram and WhatsApp. Unfortunately I am an elderly adult female that is somewhat tech savvy but not on instagram, Snapchat, or anything like this except Facebook where I follow a few friends but seldom post. The description indicated all we needed was a smartphone which I have. We arrived 15 minutes early for the adventure and 45 minutes later with help from the virtual guide we still were unable to upload a selfie or begin the adventure. A more in depth description of what is necessary to participate should be included in the adventure information.

      Great way to enjoy LBI
      Our family had an absolutely fantastic time participating in the Beach Haven Hustle scavenger hunt! It was such a fun and engaging way to explore new spots around LBI that we hadn't seen before. The challenges were creative and well thought out, making every moment of the day enjoyable and memorable. We created amazing memories together, and it was a perfect blend of adventure and bonding. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a unique and exciting way to spend the day on LBI!

    The virtual hunt was a fun way to explore a bit of the city and interact with my friends. The questions could have been a bit more specific to the city - a few of them were actually local, but the majority could have been completed in any location. The hosts located virtually were positive and encouraging, but since we weren't competing against anyone it didn't feel as exciting as it would have been if we were against another team. The cost being per person was frustrating and a waste since we were one team playing together with a single list of questions. The charge should really be per team.
