Informative and fun!

Teri_R, Mar 2024

I have been to Lancaster many times but never spent any time downtown. This scavenger hunt gave me the opportunity to visit many different places and meet new people!

Not what I expected. Very challenging and stressful.

Rachel_C, Dec 2023

This turned out to be more stressful than fun. If you are not a Lancaster local, a lot of the questions/trivia are very hard and almost impossible to figure out. We had to call the host for some answers after we spent almost an hour on one question. We also think some of the questions are outdated because a few of the items we were told to find were not there anymore. You have a 3 hour time limit which we felt like took the fun out of exploring the city because we were just focused on trying to finish all the tasks in time instead of noticing all the different places we were passing. I was under the impression from the description that we would be told where to go and then there would be a puzzle to solve at that location. However, the puzzle WAS figuring out where to go, which is why it was so hard. I'm assuming if you are a local it might be easier. Overall, there were some cool stops on the hunt and it did get us exploring. but we didn't really find ourselves enjoying our time until we stopped trying to solve the puzzles and just explored ourselves. If you are looking for a fun, stress free exploration of the city, this is not the activity for you. But if you are looking for a challenging way of exploring it, then this might be what you are looking for.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thanks for your feedback. This scavenger hunt was made for tourists and not for locals, although they also love it and find it fun. It's not really stressful unless you make it so. It's all about having fun. But it is just that a scavenger hunt, not a scavenger obvious. You have to be comfortable using your phone to do basic searches. Walking around/looking around. And asking for help when needed. This is the only scavenger hunt that has a host readily available to assist you throughout. I apologize if at any time while running other tours I was not able to help you fast enough.

Lost with Laughter

Cindy_G, Apr 2023

When you can spend the day laughing and getting lost with your friends, this is a great challenge. We are from out of town so we’re not familiar with anything. We never got passed step 5 in the 3 hours but had a memorable blast. We plan to try it again with more friends to help.

Response from Host, May 2023
