Outstanding experience with this company! We've partnered with them for several years to host scavenger hunts and team-building events for our summer intern class, and we cannot recommend them highly enough. The team is incredibly accommodating whenever changes or adjustments are needed, and their client service is truly exceptional. From start to finish, they consistently deliver a seamless, engaging experience that our interns look forward to every year. If you're looking for a reliable partner to bring energy and fun to your team events, look no further! read more

Really fun scavenger hunt at the American Museum of Natural History for several 8 year old boys. I recommend 2 parents for each group of kids as they tend to run wild! They leaned and the parents who joined had a blast read more

Words can not begin to express how much fun this was. I did this with my camp (two counselors and 29 kids age 12-15) and they all LOVED it. Sharlette was so incredible and made it so fun for not only the kids but the adults that went. She was also such a joy to talk with and even gave me recommendations for an incoming personal trip I was going to in NOLA. I would not only recommend this scavenger hunt for wherever you are going, but you also need to request to have Sharlette because she was truly the biggest reason we had such a memorable time. read more

Watson Adventures: We had such a great time - We did it again! Already contemplating #3! I had just joined a new company, moved to New York City, and was in charge of our All Company Meeting. Given only 6 weeks to schedule everything, I asked my Brother what his group did for team building exercises. He recommended Watson Adventures, since he had been on more than three of them. To the extreme joy of my Team, we chose their Greenwich Village Scavenger Hunt. The 90 minutes flew by, but the impact has continued forward. At that time, half our folks had been with the company less than 3 months. Teams of five provided the perfect opportunity to build camaraderie and the feeling of being one united team, which is critical to us as 2/3 of our employees are remote and located across the Country. Proof was provided with a perfect survey rating. Fast forward 6 months and our second All Company Meeting. This time around, we chose The High Line & Meatpacking District. We added a bunch of new folks and partnered them with experienced "hunters." Friendly competition ensued and fun was had by all. We were delighted the hunts include historical to contemporary references and can be customized to meet your team's preferences. The only remaining intriguing decision, which Watson Adventure Scavenger Hunt next! read more

We had a group of 20 work colleagues do the Grand Central Station scavenger hunt and we had a blast! We broke off into 3 teams and had a great competition! I am from NY, I work in the city and have been in GSC countless times and learned things I never knew! GSC is full of history! I highly recommend this tour and working with Watson was breeze!! read more

Virtual Team Building done right! Finding ways to engage your team during a pandemic is challenging! Trying to find ways to engage a year later, when you are done with virtual events, but you're still isolated and to top it off, the sun is out and no one wants to be inside! Challenge accepted by Watson Adventures Scavengers Hunt and they delivered 100%. The time flew by, it was so engaging and our team was full of smiles, bragging (for the winning team) and praise for the game + host. Our host was so lovely and full of energy! Overall, I have nothing but praise to give! Thank you, thank you for turning your world into a virtual version that is truly a wonderful experience. read more

In a time that feels isolating, Watson Adventure Scavenger Hunts brings people together in such a fun and unique way! For Halloween, my boss booked a virtual team building scavenger hunt with Watson Adventures. The host, Andy, was fabulous! He was animated, kind and friendly. He told us the rules and sent us on our way. The system was easy to access and navigate. For our Halloween hunt, we visited museums virtually and looked for clues. The questions are well written with some being more tricky and some easier. It required everyone on the team to help in order to reach the goal. I felt closer to my team after this scavenger hunt. Typically these are in person scavenger hunts, but our host told us that the company has had to pivot due to COVID. For such a new experience, it is very well done. I would highly recommend the virtual experience offered by Watson Adventures Scavenger Hunts for team building and family activities. And I can't wait for the pandemic to be over to do one of these hunts in person! read more

Watson Adventures did an amazing job with a fantastic and engaging team building event for our corporate event in Brooklyn! We reached out very last minute and the team at Watson were able to accommodate us, communication with the team was efficient and support on the day was really great. Everyone remarked about how much fun it was to explore the Brooklyn area via the scavenger hunt. Highly recommend and would use them again for future events! Thank you! read more

I participated, on Valentines Day, in their special couples "Naked at the Getty" Scavenger Hunt. Thankfully, as it was cold outside, we didn't have to get naked. The way it works is you're given about 30 questions, which each clue pointing to a specific room in the Getty Center (not to be mistaken with the Getty Villa - which is also amazing). This allows you to get to see a good amount of the artwork and a feel for the various rooms. The clues are put in an order so that the next room is close to the one you just came from. We were both very thankful for not having to run around the whole museum with each new clue. The clues were really interesting, witty, and often tricky. There were only a few that I had a problem with (which is rare for me) and overall it was a really fun experience (though I may be biased since we won). The people running the event were really nice and friendly, but also didn't waste a lot of time and got straight to the point (which I appreciated). The hunt was 2 hours long, and the time flew. I definitely recommend this either for a group of friends or on a date! Valentines Day - probably with a date... read more

I recently did the ghost hung at Washington Square. We met around the arch. We got to chose our teammates (groups of 4, max 6) and ran off for the next 2hrs. I gotta admit, it was actually fun walking around looking for clues. Being a fan of architecture, I enjoyed perusing the West Village looking at the beautiful century old townhouses. I also liked how they made each group start at a different point of the game so that we weren't all directly competing. PS: wear comfortable shoes. lots of walking. read more

Ghostly good time! We went on the ghosts of Greenwich Village hunt on a warm summer evening, and it was so much fun. It was a blast trying to figure out clues while learning about the city. We also got to see the Cosby House as an added bonus (not part of the tour, but nice for pictures and to say you've been) I don't know what else to say without giving out what's on the hunt, just know, whatever tour you depart, it'll be a great time. I will definitely be going back for another. Just remember to bring comfortable shoes, and if you do an outdoor tour at night, don't forget your flashlight. I don't think a standard smart phone flashlight app will be of much use. Oh yeah, and bring your wits, you're going to need them. Competition is tough. read more

I did the Star Wars-themed scavenger hunt at the Natural History Museum and had a great time! The hunt held true to its name and definitely incorporated Star Wars into the hunt (even with a bonus trivia section), but on the flip side, it's nice that you can complete the hunt without knowing anything about Star Wars (which was the case for one of my friends). The staff running the hunt are also all friendly, lighthearted, and fun. The one issue I have is with the entry ticket - the ticket includes admission to the museum, but it would cost a lot less if we did "pay as you wish" as we can for a lot of these NYC museums. Perhaps it's because they buy admission tickets in advance? Otherwise, a great way to spend a rainy/snowy day (if it's an indoor hunt). read more

We had so much family fun! Celebrated our son's birthday with a two team family trivia challenge. Loved it. Best of all was our host and MC, Levon -- really kept it going funny and smart. Have recommended this for a COVID time company team building fun read more

We were in NYC for a planning week and Watson adventures was recommended as a fun activity to get everyone out and moving and working in teams. It was great! We learned a lot about Grand Central, saw parts of the train station I had never though about when catching a train, talked to all sorts of people asking what they knew about the clues (which was really funny) and Eryn (our guide) was super. I would highly recommend Watson for a fun way to share parts of the city and look forward to doing another of their scavenger hunts. read more

Just had a college reunion this past weekend. Our Saturday activity was a Watson Adventures hunt in Greenwich Village. we had a blast! Not only was the hunt itself great fun but it was a terrific way for the out of towners to see a different part and vibe of NYC then where everyone was staying. Eryn, our fearless leader, was full of positive energy which helped all the participants get excited and competitiv. I should add my team won so, you know, that felt good! read more

We had a blast! Secrets of Wall Street was a great hunt, very different from any that we have done before. Challenging, informative, and fun. We loved the location and can't wait to go back to explore the area again. Carter was terrific, and Anne was so helpful in accommodating our large party. A wonderful & memorable experience! We will definitely book with Watson again. read more

Last Sunday, I went on my first scavenger hunt through a company called Watson Adventures and wow, that was one of the most fun 2 hours I ever spent on one activity. First, some info on Watson Adventures. It's a company that started in New York in 1999 and currently on their calendar are over 40 different scavenger hunts you can choose from. They have recently started expanding in other metropolitan cities and have now been in LA for a year. On the LA schedule, there are 13 different scavenger hunts you can choose from. They take place in a variety of places, from Downtown LA to the Getty Center, the Los Angeles Zoo to the Santa Monica Pier, etc. For the hunts, you have teams of 2 up to 6 people max competing with each other. Each team is given a list of anywhere from 24 to 30 clues and questions. This scavenger hunt isn't about collecting objects, but more about deciphering the clues and than writing down the answers to them. You get two hours to figure out as many of the clues as possible. For every correct answer, you get a certain number of points. Other rules also must be followed. For example, your team can't split up and must stay together when figuring out the clues. That's to keep it fair when you have smaller teams competing against larger teams. Also, when you're done, the team must arrive on time and together or else you'll lose points. The winning team gets bragging rights as well as Watson Adventure T-Shirts as prizes. When it comes to teams, you can bring your own team and hunt with as few as two on a team, or they will help you band together with kindred spirits at the start of the hunt. As for the scavenger hunt I went on, it took place at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). I was originally on a team of 5, but we added someone who was currently team-less to our group. We competed against two other teams of 3 people each and each team was given a list of 30 clues. During our two hour hunt, we were up and down the 2nd and 3rd floor of the Ahmanson Building, inside the top floor of the Art of Americas Building and also made our way to the Pavilion for Japanese Art and along the way, traveled through countless galleries at breakneck speed. The clues we were given definitely took a lot of thought and there was many a time, when we felt like headless chickens as we tried to figure out what we were supposed to find at a particular gallery. Along the way, we'd run into the other teams and it became a game of cat and mouse, because we certainly didn't want them to guess a clue that our team already figured out and vice versa for them. Overall, it was so much fun. The two hours flew by like crazy. If you're the type of museum goer that likes to linger over every painting, every sculpture, every art piece, this scavenger hunt might drive you nuts because there's certainly no time for art appreciating. What you do get though is a great quick overview of what can be seen at the museum, so that later on, when you have more time, you can take a more leisurely tour of the all the exhibits. Unfortunately, our team came in second and just missed first place by 4 points, but still a good time was had by all. Just a few more things to note, tickets must be purchased in advance and your tickets to whatever venue the scavenger hunt will be held at is included in the price of the hunt itself. So if you love scavenger hunts, you definitely have to check out Watson Adventures! read more

I've been on a number of the Watson Adventure scavenger hunts and murder mysteries. The first time I went my girlfriend and I did the Naked at the Getty scavenger hunt as a two person team. Since then, we've done the Natural History Museum murder mystery, the Getty Murder Mystery and the Haunted Hollywood scavenger hunt. The scavenger hunts are generally more difficult than the murder mysteries. You can have a team of up to 6 people and the more people you have looking at the clues the easier it is so bring a couple friends along. It's a great way to spend a couple hours. Remember to wear comfortable shoes, especially for the outdoor hunts. The staff is great and the company also offers private hunts at various locations. At 20 dollars a person per hunt Watson Adventures definitely deserves 5 stars. We won the murder mystery at the Natural History Museum. I'm going to share some sure fire winning strategies. First, there's always going to be a weak link on your team. You know who that is. It's that person that can never keep up with the rest of the group and is always looking at the wrong area for the answer to the clues. If you've done this before and you can't identify that person. IT'S YOU. Cut them loose. Winning these contests is hard enough without the excess baggage weighing you down. Do you REALLY want to win? If so, don't worry about paltry considerations such as friendship or fun. WIN WIN WIN. Second, there's a rule regarding the speed in which you can move. In other words, no running. Ignore it. If you get caught just say you have to go to the bathroom really urgently and squeeze out a little to prove your point. I guarantee you this will work. And if not? what have you lost besides a little dignity? WIN WIN WIN. Be careful though, at places like the Getty they get really ornery when you knock things over (for the love of god it's just a vase, get over it already). read more

Watson Adventures Scavenger Hunts - Us in our shirts given after winning the Murder Mystery at the Natural History Museum - Trivia Hosts Near Me

See all

I went to the Murder at the Natural History Museum. About halfway into the hunt, I quickly suspected that I'm not that smart or fast... I didn't have much knowledge of this company or the hunts prior. I found a special promotion through Facebook with discounted rates so I ended up paying only $9 for the cost of admission into the Museum itself, which I've been wanting to check out anyway. There were really no explanations given at the intro, just about 5-6 sheets of clues, codes, pictures, and we're off. The two hours flew by in what felt like mere minutes. It was so intense and fast-paced, there was barely a chance to take a good look around and appreciate any of the exhibits. We were constantly searching for answers hidden in the details. At the end of the hunt, my earlier suspicion was confirmed. My team finished in last place. Doh! With that said, it was still a lot of fun. The hunt was well organized. The clues were... uhm, challenging. Hmm, I'll bring smarter friends next time. Hopefully intelligence is contagious, and we will WIN! Mwahaha! read more

Fun way to explore the Met for sure. Came here with the gf and some of her coworkers and had a great time. The scavenger hunt spans two hours total, with you scrambling to find clues and hints throughout the museum. It's structured so you pretty much get a cursory look of every corner/exhibit hall in the museum. The premise of the hunt is that a curator was murdered by one of four suspects. The scavenger hunt worksheet than asks that you comb through the museum for clues and hints left behind to solve said mystery. Questions are pretty easy to answer, you just have to use a little bit of critical thinking. You're essentially paying for the scavenger hunt maps and then the answers they provide at the end. My suggestion would be to include a free beer at the end. That would be awesome. read more

This is a review of the Natural History Museum Scavenger Hunt. First off, the starting organization left something to be desired. We were running all over just trying to find the WA people at the starting point. Whenever we asked museum staff about the hunt, they just shrugged and didn't know what we were talking about. It took us a good 10-15 minutes to find exactly where we needed to go. Once we finally made it to the right place, they gave us our papers and we began the hunt. It was a little bit more tedious than I thought it would be. Most of the clues involved reading a placard and filling in the blank on the sheet. It was fun running around the museum. I think we had an hour and fifteen minutes of hunting time. Then we all met back up at the starting point to turn in our sheets and add up the scores. We certainly thought we would have done better but oh well, it was still fun. It was quite tiring though. You're on your feet for two hours and rushing around. Also, you're not really seeing the museum as you should, so if this is your first time, definitely go back to really take your time and see the rest of it. The $40 seems a bit much but considering that includes Museum admission as well, it's not too bad. I recommend this for a group of friends. We definitely had a blast. read more

I don't know about the museum scavenger hunts , but the outdoor hunts are definitely not worth the $26. You're not really hunting anything as they give you the exact street intersections of where to find the answers (things you see on buildings). I thought it would involve actually finding and collecting things or asking business owners or actors at these points who were in on the jig. You'd have way more fun creating or downloading your own self-guided tour online (basically the same thing). PASS! read more

I absolutely love love loved doing the Watson Adventure at the Chicago Art Institute. I thought the whole concept of a scavenger hunt was just genius. The clues were fairly clever and required a bit of sleuthing. Certainly there were times of an "aha!" moment when we figured out the clues. I liked the whole atmosphere that they tried to create, from the fake accent that our guide put on (laughingly and we laughed along) to the entire sordid murder mystery. I do wish that there had been more clues or that it had been a bit harder. I thought the size of the art museum made that scavenger hunt perfect. I know they have a few that involves the whole Loop or another outdoors one. I want to try them, but I feel like some of the involved-ness might be lost if you're trying to traipse around a larger area. That said, all of the other adventures look really fun too. You're not allowed to take any of the materials as you leave, which is kind of a bummer if you wanted to take a souvenir, but understandable as they run several of the same hunts. Our group got a free pass to another hunt as our prize for winning, but it expired before we could go again. I would definitely recommend this to a group of people just looking to explore a museum and have fun. read more

Just participated in the East Village scavenger hunt in celebration of Watson Adventures' 10th year (and 100,000th hunter) -- so the hunt was free! But it looks like their regular prices are not too ridiculous. I had a good time and would recommend this for corporate team building, birthday parties or for those who are looking for something to do with a big group that does not involve alcohol or athleticism. As to be expected, it is hard to cram a lot into a 2 hour period so most of the hunt was spent running around and figuring out the clues in a race to make it through all 20 clues. Therefore, we did not get much time to actually explore and admire the various buildings and monuments that were part of the hunt, which means we did not learn as much as we could have. Another bummer was that there was no prize at the end for the winning team, but I imagine this was because it was a free hunt. My friend said her team won a hunt last year and received Watson t-shirts. And finally, because it was such a beautiful day, there were a ton of people outside -- some of whom were drinking (it was 4PM on a Saturday) -- who were curious as to what a group of girls with papers in their hands were doing outside various landmarks. Many decided to talk to us and try to "help" us figure out the answers and were usually very wrong. So we had to dodge a few characters but it made the hunt all that much more amusing (ah, New Yorkers, gotta love 'em). One caveat -- wear comfortable shoes! I ignored this fact because I was anticipating a night out and suffered immensely. The hunt involves 2 1/2 hours on your feet and you're not going to want to wear your cute shoes doing it. Sneakers probably work best. Definitely a great way to learn about the various neighborhoods in NYC! read more

Perfect for a unique summer thing to do that does not involve drinking! (Don't get me wrong, cocktails and outdoor bars are amazing but it's so nice to experience stuff that isn't part of that!) I've been to a few now - Gangs of NY, the one in the Met, GVillage, Central Park, and WallSt. My fave was the Wall St one but I think that one might be benched or for private parties only. It's also been awhlie since I've been on one of their adventures but the MCs who work there are carefully chosen and are really outgoing. The people who own the place too are really great. I mean, who comes up with an idea like this? It makes learning history so much more fun about the city you live in! I just wish more of my friends were interested in this! read more

This review is very delayed! I planned a surprise customs scavenger hunt for my fiancés birthday last year and it was so much fun! Tara was a pleasure to work with and incredibly accommodating with all of my requests. The event host was equally wonderful. We all had a blast. I wish I had more reasons to plan scavenger hunts! read more

My friends and I did the Murder Mystery at the Met hunt for my birthday last year, which is supposed to be their most challenging hunt, thinking we had it in the bag. Yeah well we felt like giant morons coming in 6th out of 7 teams and failing. Miserably, laughably, not even remotely close to solving the mystery despite having most of the answers [by comparison I believe the first 5 teams did solve it]. And considering there were three more teams that had been there at the beginning but not come back by the end, I have no doubt we would have been even lower in rank had they shown up. The lack of skills of our slow-witted trio aside, we still had a good time. Docking one star only because it's a wee bit expensive but I would certainly try some of the other cheaper [uh, and hopefully less hard] hunts in the future. It was a good way to spend a few hours, especially since the weather was pretty crappy the day we went so I was glad we went with an indoor hunt. read more

We did the Grand Central photo hunt this past weekend for a Bachelorette Party. From start to finish, the people I worked with were honest, helpful and accommodating. Our numbers kept changing, and they happily allowed me to "pay the balance" on the day of the hunt. On Saturday, we had people (including myself!) running late due to crowded subways. The tour leaders, especially Corey, were calm and happy to keep the on-time people entertained while the rest of our party arrived. They explained everything to us in small groups (it was loud in the station) and sent us on our way! The hunt itself was entertaining and witty. Some of the clues were definitely tricky! The photo challenges had all of us laughing. We had 6 teams running around, so the competition was FIERCE. They had medals for our winning team! I would absolutely recommend these scavenger hunts to anyone in a large group. Our entire party had a great time! If ever I need to keep a large group entertained in NYC again, I will be sure to reach out! Thank you to everyone, especially Corey!! read more

Scavenger hunt at the MET. This was a complete waste of time and money. The biggest rip off in NYC. Attention all visitors to the MET, the admission is a suggested amount. To justify $40+ for a scavenger hunt that consists of a packet of lame questions and admission (which is a donation) is really in fact over $20 per piece of paper. The staff were miserable. There was zero acting. The prize for winning was a 2x t-shirt of Watson Adventures. Four groups answered all of the questions and the winning pool was picked by best group name. REALLY?! $40+ for two sheets of paper, dumb questions and we didn't win an ugly t-shirt because we didn't call ourselves the Silly Sleuths?!? How do myself & 5 friends get our money back because they do not deserve our collective $200? read more

My office did the Grand Central Scavenger hunt for about 70 people and it was amazing from start to finish. Julie was so nice and provided me with all the information I needed to make sure this event was a success. Amy and Greg were awesome hunt hosts. They were fun and kept us engaged. The hunt itself was great. It challenged us and made us work as a team to get the job done. Overall, it was a great experience and we will us them again in the future!!! Thank you Watson Adventures!! read more

Did the Murder at the Getty scavenger hunt. They said that it is the hardest one, and it was hard, but not that hard. The biggest thing is the time. If we had 5 more minutes, we'd have solved EVERYTHING. As it was, the time you were allotted is what makes it tough. Honeybuns and I were a group because other people didn't want to join up. We had a great time, and it was worth the trip! Next time we'll look for the wizard school hunt or the munchies hunt or the murder at the natural history museum one. read more

Eh. We did the one for Halloween at Hollywood and Highland (yay! mini coopers! - okay forget my silly Italian Job references)...and it was okay. not spectacular... just okay. What you do: I'm not really sure why this is called a scavenger hunt? I always think of finding things and keeping them... (you know collecting stuff.. ) but this was more about finding information and answering questions. You basically walk around and read and look for some things... based on this list of questions and riddles that they give you. I didn't find that they gave us enough time... maybe if you really rush... but the way it was set up... it's more like something you do at a more leisurely pace. So eh... read more

We did a west village scavenger hunt, and what an awesome time!! We did a private hunt with coworkers and it was one of the best things we've ever done. No joke. Most of our events are usually booze based, so it was refreshing to do something a little more interesting (not that there's anything wrong with booze, but there is a life beyond it, too!) This is great for any kind of fun, for team building activities, for interview programs for companies (what better way to see how people interact?). I really want to do one at Grand Central and at the Metropolitan some time soon. Highly recommended. read more

I can't say enough good things about working with Watson Adventures. I am a school administrator, and their adventure offerings were a perfect match for a community building experience to kick off the school year within our high school. They worked with three different grades in our high school, and all three groups had a blast! We did the Central Park hunt and also the High Line hunt - so much fun, and we all agreed that we learned so much more about these places that are right in our backyard. The guides who ran the adventures were enthusiastic, flexible, patient, cheerful, and eager to have a good time with us. The hunts themselves were very cleverly designed yet accessible. Figuring out the answers really demanded good team work. If you are looking for something fun to do with friends, co-workers, or even students, don't overlook this option! read more

I've done two of these scavenger hunts with friends and family. A very interesting and fun way to learn about the different areas in NYC. We did a Central Park hunt and a Greenwich Village hunt. Both were great! In these hunts, you discover so many things about these places that are kind of well-kept secrets. Enjoyable! Be careful not to do Central Park in the heat of the summer, though! Otherwise, I highly recommend it! read more

Yesterday I did "The Secrets of Old Boston Scavenger Hunt" in...you guessed it...Boston! I thought it was a lot of fun. The questions were more like riddles at times and it took a fair amount of detective work to figure them out. We walked all along the Freedom Trail...everywhere from Faneuil Hall to Downtown Crossing to the North End. I've lived in Boston for over ten years now and I learned so many new things... Definitely will try some of the public hunts in the Boston area as it was an enjoyable experience. read more

A lot of fun! I definitely recommend them if you're looking for something different and fun to do, especially with a group of friends. you get to explore the city and learn some stuff. read more

I've gone to most of the hunts that Watson Adventures offers here in L.A. and even made it into the news clip aired last year on ABC7! So to recap the hunts I've been on: There's the LACMA, Santa Monica Pier, Downtown, Hollywood, and the Natural History Museum. All were such great fun . The coolest thing about these hunts? It gets you out and about exploring pockets of the city you may not usually head out to. The clues and puzzles you have to solve are so clever and witty! This is great if you love puzzles like this. Their indoor hunts are very chill but get ready to get a cardio workout on the outdoor hunts! The outdoor hunts cover way more ground and you're getting from place to place at a pretty fast clip - as was the case for the Downtown Movie hunt. That was the one and only hunt where my team and I couldn't quite get through all of our clues because you're running from Broadway to the library and the Omni Hotel to Pershing Square. I'd have to say that I enjoyed the clues on the Santa Monica Pier Pressure hunt the most. I did most of my hunting in 2007 and won THREE hunts! Woo hoo! My team was genius! Haven't gone to any hunts so far this year though but I think the only two that I haven't yet been to=o are the ones at the Getty and at the L.A. zoo. While I've usually done the adult hunts, they also have family versions so kiddies can hunt too. I know that there are family versions of the L.A. Zoo hunt and the Santa Monica Pier Pressure hunt. This is a great activity for birthdays to team-building. As for group sizes, teams of 4 are optimal. That's the ultimate combination of brains to work with while remaining a manageable size. If you have group larger than that, break into several groups and it's fun to compete against one another. The hunts range from $18 to $22 for 2-hour hunts. You can go to their website and sign up for the newsletter. There are usually promotions for free hunts every now and again which are great ways to get started with these scavenger hunts. So give it a go and have fun! read more

Do you ever sit around on the weekends and think "Gee... I do the same old thing every weekend. I sure wish I had something different and interesting to do today"? Sign up for a Watson Adventures scavenger hunt! Don't miss out on the fun! I did the murder at the Getty hunt yesterday, and I had SO MUCH FUN!! This was my first hunt. It was fun to do something different with my friends. We really made a great problem-solving team. We lost by only half a point! So close... The clues were challenging, but not too difficult. The two hour time period was just long enough, the hunt moderator was awesome, and there was just enough inter-team competition to be fun but not overwhelming (since I'm not a very competitive person). I think the ideal team-size is three or four people, since everyone has to stick close together to win. We had a team of three, and the winning team had four. Incidentally, the largest team (I think there were six or seven people) had the lowest score. What are you waiting for? Sign up for a hunt! Maybe I'll see you there, since I'll definitely be doing this again. If you've never been to the Getty before, you might want to spend a few hours before the hunt exploring. When you are searching for clues, you don't really have time to enjoy the artwork, so a scavenger hunt might not be the ideal activity for a Getty newbie. read more

I had a ton of fun doing the murder mystery scavenger hunt at the Met on Valentine's Day. Some of the clues were a lot cleverer than you would expect for a scavenger hunt. It was a great collaborative, yet competitive, activity on a winter day. I'd recommend! read more
