Cape Cod Caper Scavenger Hunt

You will get to see some of downtown Hyannis on foot by following a slide deck and finding sites or doing other activities. If you are new to Hyannis then it is bit like a self guided walking tour.

Don’t expect to learn much about the history, landmarks or architecture of Hyannis on the scavenger hunt. We mostly interfaced with locals for photos - we could have been anywhere. The Canva format is not easy to follow. It was fun walking around on a sunny day.

Honestly you only need one ticket be used there is nobody thereto check in with, so we spent over $200 on the trip for our family of 8. When my mom had found it online, it sounded like it would be moreguided and take us to places we may not know or had been to on the Cape. We thought there would be clues to get us to places and guiding us all around the town, however it was filled with tasks to choose from. So reallywe could have made this up along the way. We thought there would be some kind of communication throughout to give us clues to the next stop. It was just pick a task and send in pic nothing really communicating to let us know what was going on. We were sent a canvas presentation and just picked a task that lead to nowhere. We were very disappointed that there were no landmarks or clues for us to figure out. Really it was just a set of challenges to do in public. Could be fun for a bachelor/bachelorette party but not if you wanted to actually see things or learn about the town.

The wrong town was sent to us for the scavenger hunt. Not very organized. Although 51 million score was never added to leaderboard.

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.

I couldn’t get any messages on Whatsapp at all. The service in the town was so bad. We didn’t get to join the game at all. Very disappointed

I think it was really fun interacting with strangers who were willing to participate all around the town. The tasks were fun and it was nice strolling around and it’s a good thing to do to take up time and hang around/discover areas of the town. I will say that it is really confusing at first, but when you get the hang of it then you have fun.

First, you only need one member of your party to have a "ticket" as no one is physically present at the location. Once you arrive, at approximately the start time, you are sent a generic intro video, and the link to a PowerPoint presentation with convoluted "missions". Essentially, it is a complete waste of time and money. We looked at the list of missions and quickly decided to not bother. Something called a Scavenger Hunt should actually be that. I have never been so disappointed.

We enjoyed the fact that there was help when we needed it and all the cheering us on. We had a great time and had LOTS of laughs! Would do it again in a heartbeat!!

We enjoyed trying!!!! Didn’t go according to plan. We had lots of technical difficulty. But we laughed a lot and did a few things. AND discovered some yummy bakeries!!! A little confusing at first, but it took a lot of time for us to get our act together. We would try again I think. Thanks. We all agree it’s a great concept.

We had a really fun afternoon with the Cape Cod Caper Scavenger Hunt. Unlike a regular scavenger hunt, where you search for things based on specific clues, this scavenger hunt came with pages and pages of missions to perform. Some involved finding things (and there were plenty of clues in the materials), others involved going places and doing specific things, and still others were open ended and limited only by your creativity. Our scavenger hunt coordinators were friendly and enthusiastic, and their excited reactions to the photos and videos we shared as proof of our activities made us more eager to tackle more missions. In the end, we only stopped because the sun was setting! This is a fun way to explore part of Cape Cod and learn a few new things. I've been visiting the Cape for decades and still learned new things through this activity. A great way for a couple, a family, or a small group of friends to wander around and have some fun.

It was a fun time with our family. It was a birthday present for my wife, and she really enjoyed it. Looking to doing it again next year when it is warmer.

Thank you for a great time. Favorite: talking to the artist Purchased: Bought a beautiful flattened glass piece Did not know: anything... first time visitors Seriously! Great!

We had a bit of trouble with the phone (most likely user error), but overall we had so much fun! Taking pictures with locals and finding things we never would have seen otherwise! Great time to get the family walking, laughing and not on their devices all day!

My wife and I are retired and we both love to travel. We decided to try the Cape Cod Caper, presented by Alley Kat Adventures, as a new way to explore. We signed up in advance for our desired date and time. Alley Kat was very good about communicating, and we soon had a text message chain established. (There was no in-person contact.) We were required to sign a waver agreeing to accept full responsibility for our own safety. I assume that’s because there is driving involved. We went to the starting location and sent them our team name and a selfie, to prove that we were actually there. The goal of a scavenger hunt is to travel from place to place, completing various tasks along the way. For example, we went to a store and took a photo of a specific item. We texted the photo to our representative Melanie, and she confirmed that she’d received it. That added to our score. The challenges took creativity and cooperation. For example, we did a video “commercial” for the daily special at a coffee cafe. We interviewed a local resident about her memories of a particular store which is now closed. We even had to find some wildlife in a public park. (I was thinking of a squirrel, but it turned out to be a noisy crow.) Throughout this process, we found ourselves getting better and better at working together. We looked forward to each new experience, we had fun, and we saw a lot of the Cape Cod area that we wouldn’t have seen by just driving around. We found out that Alley Kat Adventures is available in 200 cities, so we definitely plan to try another one — maybe even to discover things about our own hometown! I recommend that you go with a larger team than two people. Four might be the perfect number. Each person could have a different role, such as navigator, driver, photographer, and creative director. We also found our GPS to be extremely helpful. Thank you, Kat and Melanie, for an unforgettable day.

My boyfriend and I had a blast doing this scavenger hunt together!! Our host was very nice and was very good about providing us directions and encouraging us. We could walk to most of the locations in Hyannis, and there was only one place we had to drive to. It took us about 3 hours to complete all the tasks, and in addition there are some included optional "dares" that you can complete to add to the fun!! Overall it was a great experience and especially good for when the weather in the cape isn't great for the beach!!

This was a fun way to explore Hyannis. Some of the places were closed unfortunately but that did not interfere with the adventure. We were able to walk about and act crazy at times. Having contact with Katie all through our adventure was fun. I don't know how anyone can accomplish this in only a hours, it took us longer and we were not able to do everything. I recommend this to anyone in the cities where these tours are available.
