So much fun to see the city and learn about the history. We had a ball, and loved visiting sights we had not known of. I will be repeating this quest with visitors to the city, and I will join the hunt in Key West later this year!

Itinerary
Turn San Antonio into a giant game board! An interactive smartphone adventure hunt combining the fun of the "Amazing Race" with a 2-hour sightseeing tour - a city deep in the heart of Texas with a rich history of courage and sacrifice for freedom. Guided from any smart phone, your group will make its way among well-known and overlooked gems of the city, solving clues and completing challenges while learning local history. And, you can compete against other groups for the best score. The tour requires approximately 2 miles of walking. Using a smartphone as your "guide" allows your team to start when you want and determine your own pace of play. You'll start you in the center of this historic city and will take you back in time to explore the grounds of the Alamo. Your adventure will then guide you down along the River Walk and through the streets to enjoy the modern-day sights and sounds of the city while finding historic and unique hidden gems. Offered at a fixed price for a group as opposed to per person pricing, this city tour/game offers a great value.

I and my two teenage grandkids found ourselves at the starting point and started our scavenger adventure. Our overall thoughts were 1) Once you found the correct place to be, the hunting for the specific listed treasures and items was fun. 2) We found getting to the different listed places to be frustrating. We got lost a lot. We were wondering if placing "pins" on a interactive map (google?) Would facilitate a faster ability to navigate to the next place. Afterall, the fun of the hunt is being at a place where the hints will guide us to success. Not wandering around the City quite often taking the wrong turn. It is important to know that this is not for anyone who has any "walking problems!" You cover some distance.
It was disappointing that many questions were unanswerable due to many obstacles- construction, closed elevators due to remodeling, closed church and so forth- see pics- these are just two of the problems- the online game needs to stay up to date on what’s going on as it was a run around - I feel like a refund should be given-
Great way to learn a new city. Was harder than we thought. Didn’t realize case sensitivity at first.
Great scavenger hunt! We went for a date night and loved it! We were able to see places that we wouldn't normally see or go to. Loved working as a team so navigate throughout the town and solve the clues.
Fun way to explore a new area! It gave us a mission or purpose to exploring around instead of just wandering. Got thru all 18 questions and we did all of the optional bonus questions. Took us 3h21m of pretty much solid questing other than potty breaks. Good way to spend time and work together :)
Great experience for affordable price. Think a hike and pack as one. There is a lot of walking, knowledge and scenery. Great restaurants as well.
It was a perfect half- day activity for a family especially with two teens. They were very engaged and would otherwise eager to go back to our Airbnb and get on their devices :) The locations include many sites rich in history but we would otherwise not know. We would definitely try to do the Urban Quest Scavenger hunt in other cities when we tour. My husband and I really enjoyed it too!
We were able to see parts of San Antonio that we might not have on our own. It was a lot of fun and history of the city was mixed in. We really enjoyed it!!
The scavenger hunt was a ton of fun. Great activity for families of all sizes. A perfect way to familiarize yourself with a beautiful city. We used the landmarks the whole trip.
We are from San Antonio and spend a lot of time in the city. This was a challenge to even us, and it was so fun to see things we know and love from a totally different perspective.
The scavenger hunt was a lot of fun and took us to off-the-beaten-path areas around the River Walk. Even our friends, who have lived in San Antonio for 11 years, learned and saw things they hadn’t before. We just wish we had gone earlier in the day before it got too hot.
Fun, but wasn’t sure what to expect or how long it would take. We played for about 3 hours and then had to quit at #10 because of a rain storm and we also had dinner plans. We started after lunch about 1:30 and had to quit about 4:30 to get back on the road and get to our dinner about 45 minutes away. Would have liked to have finished. We were enjoying the puzzles. I would suggest a little guidance on time frame and length of duration so we could have planned better, started earlier or something so we could finish.
Scavenger Hunt was somewhat challenging but lots of fun. It took us 3 plus hours to complete. Used a couple hints that were helpful! I would recommend this activity for a good way to check out a new location!
He hunt had areas that we had no interest in. Pretty boring for a teenager. Even worse was the app glitches and skips questions when you pause. Also areas were not open due to Covid. Overall I was underwhelmed with this hunt.
San Antonio is beautiful, have different types or activities. Its romantic, id fun, is dynamical. I like so much this city.
My wife and I were pleasantly surprised and we had a good time. One question stumped us and we never got the right answer but otherwise we flew through it in about 2.2 hours. We hope to do this again in our home town and others we visit. Thanks!
<p>Albeit a pretty hot day, my son and I enjoyed ourselves and learned much. It was nice being able to take a break for lunch to re-energize. Now back in Atlanta, I plan to do the one here with my husband. A really good value for the fun/enjoyment it brings.</p>
