After getting back from a trip packed with walking (and unexpectedly shedding a few pounds!), my husband and I were determined to keep the momentum going. We were on the hunt literally for something fun, active, and a little outside the norm for our weekend. That's when we stumbled upon a local scavenger hunt experience right near home. It sounded like the perfect blend of movement and adventure so we signed up. Enter MJ, our energetic and enthusiastic Hunt Guide. From the moment we started, she was cheering us on, keeping the energy high, and encouraging us every step of the way. The two-hour hunt flew by. While we didn't manage to complete the entire list, we made up for it with a few fun bonus missions that boosted our final score. One of the most memorable moments? Walking into a dive bar on a mission to find a San Marcos native. The second we stepped in, the music didn't stop but it may as well have. Heads turned. It felt like we were aliens who accidentally landed in the middle of someone's regular Saturday scene. But, mission accomplished! We found a guy who looked like a leather-clad biker from a movie turns out, he was born and raised in San Marcos and couldn't have been more welcoming. The hunt turned into more than just a game. We discovered hidden corners of the city, chatted with locals, and learned that San Marcos is not just a great college town it's somewhere we would've loved to have spent our college years. What really stood out was the variety of activities throughout the hunt each one pushed us just a little out of our comfort zone and made us laugh, connect, and enjoy being in the moment together. If you're looking for a unique way to explore a city, meet new people, and get moving, I can't recommend this hunt enough. We're already eyeing Kit Kat's other hunts in different cities! read more

Paid 40 to be sent a slideshow of challenges and a map of the city with hotspots. The challenges involved talking to too many people like how am I supposed to "find someone who has traveled 1000 miles to be here" on a random Tuesday afternoon? It wouldve been a lot easier to be sent a challenge or 2 at a time instead of the pick and choose style that had my face stuck in my phone for the entire 20 mins before I declined to start. And the owner will not issue a refund even though I didn't participate so that's terrible practice. read more

I bought this experience through Expedia. I didn't have high hopes for it, but boy, it was worse. I'm a Disney fan and was looking for a challenge at Disney Springs. I thought I was going to meet somebody in person. Nope, all done through WhatsApp which should have been my first red flag. I expected there to be a picture hunt where I would need to find some objects. Nope, they wanted me to do silly videos include singing a Disney song in public, try on clothes I didn't buy and strut, and do a snooty review about candy at Goofy's. What's worse is that these challenges clearly were not made for Disney Springs. It seemed like it was AI. One of the challenges would require us to go to Epcot (a separate theme park). When I pointed this out, they said that "some people like to use cars for the hunt". Ummm, no. Nobody is going to Epcot for one challenge. About 20 minutes in, I said that this was bad and I wanted my money back. This is supposed to last for two hours, but I could see this was bad in the first 20 minutes. I now keep getting the same canned response about no refunds. "Tricia" said that she couldn't do anything because she was the lowly host, but suddenly she could offer me a free event anywhere else in the US. Nope, I want a refund. She said that she will "share it with management" . I emailed this company just to be sure. "Tricia" emailed me back a canned response about no refunds. Wait, "Tricia" is only a host, but she can handle the company email responses? I call her "Tricia" because I'm 99.9% sure that's not her name. In fact, I'm pretty sure she is in the Philippines and she has to stick to a script. I'm not sure if she's a bot at this point. I have a case opened with Expedia. I burned a PTO day on this. Please everybody, stay WAY away from this company. read more

Fun exploring Jackson Hole! We had a great time with the clues and interacting with the guides! We found and saw things we never would have ventured to on purpose on our own. So much fun! read more

A creative, fun way to explore a city and build friendships The description of this activity is spot on. What a creative and fun way to explore a location, work as a team, think outside the box, have fun, and learn new things about where you are. We had a full team if friends with diverse personalities and it was fun to make a plan and work together to achieve our best. Even our shy people stepped up to strangers to fulfill tasks and make new friends. The best part for me was that it was an opportunity to share about our loving Savior Jesus Christ and how much we love the Bible. Keep up the good work! read more

I would give them less than a one if I could. Their hunts and challenges are fake. It's AI leading you with a 1 page summary of places that don't even exist. I fell for it. Please don't fall for it like I did. read more

So much fun!!! I've lived in OshKosh for 5 years but don't get out much so this seems like a fun way to get to know the city a little better. I was right, we had an absolute blast and got to support some local businesses along the way! If you're a go-go-go person, 2 hrs is enough time, but if you are looking for more of a exploring experience, 4-5 hours is a better timeframe or even a day. I will definitely do this again! read more

Horrible! We had difficulty getting the information to begin the hunt. Our meet up place was BLue Moon restaurant. Nobody was there. The restaurant was unaware of this. They said about once or twice a year this happens. They believe that it was a scam and they do not support this business. The Visitors bureau has no knowledge of this company and also believe that it is a scam. I was texting back and forth and pretty sure it was with a bot. I requested a refund stating the reasons why. The bot said that she could not help with this. She said that she would share it with Leadership above her and someone would reach out to me within a week. CRICKETS! I have disputed the charge with my bank. I tried some of the various emails that I could find for them but it showed up as a non-valid email addresses. Right now I think one went through. I reached out to Viator as the people who charged my credit card. They stated that they could do nothing. It has to come from the operator. This was supposed to be a fun trip for 6 woman turning 65 who have been best friends since 1972. Three of us lost our husbands. In addition, one woman lost her son at the age of 19 to suicide. I want my money back and I keep getting nowhere. Oh, one of the cues was to find a place that sells ice cream and do a yoga pose in front of it.............really!! I am trying my hardest to get a refund. Maybe for young ones on Tic Toc or instagram because that is all that it is! Do not do this!! read more

A good time to be had in Greene Super nice people that offered a good experience for a good price. It is a "virtual" experience in that you deal with the host via an app, but that did not take away from my family enjoying a really good time. We met some really nice people along the way and we got to learn a little bit about Greene, Texas. read more

Great fun! Great Host!! Amazing time and host. Great way to see and learn about the city. Host was very engaging and keep us our toes. Highly recommend! read more

Excellent experience. Great interaction with host. Such a unique experience! So creative and Ellijay locals and tourists welcomed our interaction. Worth a try in any city. read more

Let's go Hunting! Had fun stepping out of our comfort zone today. It was a nice relaxed way to explore a little of West Palm Beach. Trisha got us set up and kept us engaged throughout the hunt. Worth trying in other cities!! read more

What a BLAST!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Learned alot about Waco and made friends along the way. Didn't stop laughing all day! MaryAnna was so fun, friendly and helpful!! read more

I don't believe in writing negative reviews, but this really annoyed me, and I want to let others know what to expect. Unfortunately, when I purchased this virtual scavenger hunt through Viator, there were no reviews, it did not list "Alley Kat Adventures" as the operator, and only a brief description was available. Had I known what their version of a scavenger hunt entailed, I would not have bought it. First, requiring two purchases for a hunt that two people can complete with one phone feels like you're being overcharged. If the business wants to charge more for groups, they should do so upfront instead of misleading customers into thinking each person needs to pay individually when only one phone is needed to complete tasks. When my friend and I received the slides in Canva and read through them, we immediately found the activities childish and didn't want to participate. We expected an experience of finding things around town. Instead, we were told to complete "tasks" like interview a stranger, act out a tourism commercial for the town, or pretend to own a boat. Making fools of ourselves in public in a very busy vacation town was neither fun nor amusing. I requested a refund on the WhatsApp platform where we were receiving tasks within five minutes of starting the hunt, but was only offered credit from Alley Kat Adventures for my "unusual negative experience." Why would I want to try it again if I think the entire concept is ridiculous? Refunding the $40 would have been easy, cost the business nothing, and I probably would have forgotten about it by Monday. Shame on Alley Kat Adventures for poor customer service and not responding to my refund inquiry through their website form. read more

Our son wanted to do a scavenger hunt for his 9th birthday and we came across Alley Kat Adventures. It sounded like a great concept and we were all excited to do something out of the ordinary. The first issue we ran into was not being able to open the Canva file our guide sent. We were finally able to open it on one phone but never were on the second phone. We only attempted the first 4 locations and then decided not to continue. All 4 of those locations were closed - either closed on the day we were doing the hunt or had been PERMANENTLY closed. If it had been one or maybe two locations that were closed, we would have continued, but to string kids along and have nothing work out made the "adventure" awful for them. Our guide was aware that each location wasn't working out because we weren't able to complete the tasks. He recommended we reach out about getting a refund. Before we booked they were very helpful and quick to respond. Since our failed adventure, we have sent in different emails and haven't heard back. We have disputed the charge with our bank. read more

Don't fall for the positive reviews -- this "scavenger hunt" is a scam and money grab. There is nothing personalized to the town about the hunt. The few photos and business names included are easily grabbed off of Google. In fact, the coffee shop where we were instructed to begin our hunt is actually shut down, so they aren't even up to date on the few locations they include. Your remote host is in Texas, not the town you're in, so their "interactions" are ridiculous texts on WhatsApp like "where to next?" and "so proud of my peeps!" There are zero puzzles or riddles to solve and you won't learn anything about the town you're exploring. We aren't locals but we're regular visitors, so we know the area well. We paid actual hard-earned money to be sent a Canva document full of slides with challenges such as "what are the 5 hottest fashion trends in the city right now" and "what are the 3 smells of the town" and "conduct public yoga" and "take a Power Nap in an unconventional spot" and "follow us on Instagram." The very limited business names don't even include a challenge -- just the business name. Like I said, I could pick a town I've never been to and use Google street view to make up my own scavenger hunt like they did. There is no scavenger hunt here and nothing to find. We wrongly assumed at least one local would be included in the text thread to guide you through a tour of the town and that there would be solvable puzzles or clues to take you to the next spot. All you do is wander around aimlessly taking photos of idiotic things. My husband and I are 40 -- the last thing we feel like doing is photobombing strangers or trying to interact with a other tourists for useless points on an imaginary leaderboard. At the end, they even have the nerve to ask you to tip your host. I cannot stress this enough -- do NOT waste your money like we did. read more

we spent over $245 for nothing. 12 of us showed up at the appointed location. No one ever came from alleycat adventures. I have since spent at least eight hours trying to talk to a person about a refund. DDi NOT GIVE THESE PEOPLE YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!!! I gave it one star because I accidentally pressed a star, and I'm not able to remove it. This organization deserves no stars. read more

Honestly we are 30 minutes into this scavenger hunt and it is garbage. Definitely not a bachelorette activity as advertised. Save your time and money and find a real scavenger hunt that's not created by AI read more

We did the hunt in Port Huron for our anniversary. I should have searched for an explanation of the hunt because it was not what I expected. I thought we would search for hidden things in the community not just take pictures. It got boring quickly. Just not for us. ​ read more

We purchased the Bellingham Bash Amazing Race and Scavenger Hunt for my husband's birthday because we had done several scavenger hunts in Bellingham and Vancouver BC (through different companies) and had a blast with them. this particular company looked exciting due to the description and the amazing race theme. We spent $150.00 for our group of six and had high hopes dues to the price and description. Unfortunately, it was a huge let down that we will never do again through this company. After meeting at the coffee shop to start we had trouble getting the app to work. It took us 20 mins just to figure it out and was not user friendly. We were sent a big cluster of slides of places to find, questions to ask and dares to do. However this meant traveling all over town trying to find place, parking fees, and ate up our time. Bellingham is big and the places were far apart. Our time started at 11 and ended at 1. We were only able to complete 6 sights and the only interaction we got from the host was a few comments after we sent in pictures. We are a fun group so we made the best of the situation but over all it was a waste of money and a huge disappointment. Especially after having such great experiences with other companies that were half the price. read more

So for my birthday we had a blast we started the afternoon doing a scavenger hunt that took us thru down town Austin I seriously recommend this for a day do your self a favor and plan for longer than the 2 hours. There is so much more fun to be had, but we had a packed schedule for the day. This is an experience if you throw your self in and dont be afraid to be goofy. I even got a peice of art from the gallery we went to. Legit LOVE Alley Kat Adventures, and I do think we will do this again. We had such a blast!!! read more

"This is not a scavenger hunt in any way" that's a direct quote from the "guide". Mindless, uninteresting and a $100 disappointment. Seems written by chat Gpt. read more

If you're looking for an awesome way to entertain a group of people who can only get together virtually, look no further! In all honesty, even with vaccines and folks getting back together, I'm still planning to book future online adventures with Kat bc it's such an easy, no fuss way to have some fun. Sometimes you want to socialize without leaving your couch, you know? We used Alley Kat Adventures as a team building event for my office during the pandemic, we did Living Room Legends. No one had any idea what to expect, but we ended up having a blast. Our host was clearly a talented actor, she was half the entertainment, we really enjoyed how she led the activity. The "missions" she sent us on were easy to do and it was really funny to see how different members of my team carried them out. So many team members messaged me privately afterwards to say what a great time they had. I'm surprised there's not more reviews for this on Yelp, but i guess that's bc they're booked through airbnb. If you look up the reviews there, you can see they are the top online experience in their category. I'm currently in the process of booking a trivia focused online adventure for my trivia loving family. Looking forward to it! read more

THE BEST!!! Kat was so awesome and amazing! Friendly and helpful and genuinely into our hunt! The hunt itself was so perfect. Challenging enough to keep the four kids with us involved and having fun. The places we needed to find were so fun and we would have spent all day doing this! We can't wait to do another hunt! Thank y'all so so much for this amazing experience and for the well thought out fun! Keep doing what y'all do 'cause y'all are rockin' it!! read more

My group and I had an amazing time doing a scavenger hunt with Alley Kat Adventures! This was something new and exciting that I had found to do. We all had a blast. The host of our hunt was so sweet and friendly. She definitely made us feel comfortable and got us pumped up to play. I learned some new things from my friends that I played with and we all laughed a lot. This was something that I would love to do with my coworkers as well. I would love to do it again in a heartbeat. I had a blast!! read more

Setting up a MUCH needed mini break in Santa Cruz, I checked out "Things to do in Santa Cruz". Well, being kids at heart; Ric and I decided to buy tickets for Alley Kat Adventures Scavenger Hunt. We didn't know what to expect as the explanation was vague; but we were game. We showed up ready for anything, except how much fun we were going to have! This IS NOT the scavenger game that you played as a child and it isn't that boring scavenger hunt that you went on through your companies retreat. This makes you think, makes you get creative, it gets you out of your comfort zone, it makes you rely on your partner and it surprises you in lots of terrible ways. The game began at 11:00a and generally runs 2 hours and that timing was almost exactly how long it took us. We learned so many things. We learned about Santa Cruz's past. We learned how much strangers love helping you play this game. We learned how to catch crabs! Yes, that sounds bad...lol, but it's true! My fiance is sweet, but a bit reserved. I am loud and bold. We depended on each other's strengths and balanced out our weaknesses. We cannot recommend this "game" highly enough. read more

I was disappointed in this adventure. It really wasn't specific to the area and the things I was hunting for weren't very interesting. I felt like I wasted my money on this...just not for me. I tried to make it fun but just couldn't make that happen. Once the adventure was over and I started exploring on my own, I was able to actually get to know the area. read more

I tried to book this scavenger hunt experience for a work offsite. The hosts are not ok with a change in plans. I booked via Airbnb experiences. I needed to cancel and Kat offered a credit/reschedule--my event was still a week away. I asked if I could schedule for a different day. Kat said that I had to agree with her that she was making an exception and that she was bending over backwards for this reschedule. Honestly I was surprised, and I didn't agree. I thought she was being really stringent for even requiring that I needed to agree at all. I did not agree and she said I could not reschedule/use the Airbnb credit. There is something, in my opinion, spiteful about the way that Kat operates. I'm not sure if it was just a bad day. read more

I worked with Kat to set up a scavenger hunt event for a team offsite in Park City. I was really impressed with how thorough and thoughtful she was from start to finish m. It was clear how much she loves the work she does and wanted to make sure our team had the best time. She was able to create and curate such a wonderful experience for us, full of custom touches specifically for our company. I have done scavenger hunts before but this was so much more fun and creative. The team loved it and we are so grateful to Kat and her team for such a memorable experience! read more

This was one of the most unique and fun scavanger hunts that I've ever experienced! Not only did we have a great time during the hunt, we also had just as much fun looking at the pics and videos later that evening. I totally recommend doing the Long Beach Bash!

What a great time! We were looking for something different to do on our vacation to a familiar spot, Cape Cod, and came across Alley Kat Adventures online. Not knowing what to expect we signed up for the next day. We were confirmed and contacted right away. As soon as we arrived, our assistant was ready to get us started on our adventure and off we went! We found news spots and learned things we never knew about a place we have been visiting for our whole lives. We can't wait to do another Scavenger Hunt and explore a new place! So much fun. read more

A wonderful place to throw away your money. Please do yourself a favor and skip this "adventure". The "adventure" started with a phone call getting us prepared (this was the best part of the journey). Then we are off on a thrilling experience to find such jewels as a permanently closed bookstore, then zipped across town to catch a sip of coffee at a permanently closed Coffee House on the other side of town and then quickly hurried over to the Consignment shop that has been closed for many many months to parade around in clothes that are no longer in the sealed up store. Alley Kat calls themselves your virtual cheerleaders, which is cool. They were so busy cheering for us, that we didn't hear from them for over an hour. It wasn't until we said we were quitting the race that they finally responded. They shared, with excitement, that once we saw all of the amazing destinations they initially gave us, they would provide us with a list of additional permanently closed locations to observe. This was so all so much fun that we asked for a refund of our money, but that clearly wasn't part of the game. read more

I had a great time at Alley Kat last weekend! I was in town for my best friends bachelorette, and she wanted to go here for a tour of the city. Austin has always been a place we've all always wanted to visit. After having a glass of white, we took the tour and our guide was spectacular. We saw all the best spots-can't wait for the next one! read more

My friends and I had such an awesome time on this scavenger hunt! It was an amazing way to get to know the city. The challenges were super fun and we discovered so many cool places we never would have found on our own. Kat is really sweet and helpful and was there to answer all of our questions along the way! I'll definitely do another one next time I'm on vacation in a new city! read more
