Introducing Trivia Walks – the ultimate fusion of a self-guided tour and a scavenger hunt! Get ready to embark on an adventure with our cutting-edge mobile app that turns your smartphone into a treasure map filled with excitement, intrigue, and trivia. IMPORTANT: if you book here on Viator, you will be required to contact Trivia Walks separately to get your password. Viator does not give them your email, so they cannot send it to you proactively. From the start, you’ll be greeted by a familiar sight – a Google Map, but with a twist. Dotted across the map, you’ll find 20+ pins representing unique points of interest, each accompanied by a trivia question that will test your knowledge and observation skills. Once you make your way to each point of interest, we’ll reveal entertaining tidbits about the location. But the real challenge begins when you face the trivia question. Look around you, observe your surroundings, and use your keen eye to find the answer. Trivia Walks is perfect for solo adventurers, groups of friends, or families seeking a unique bonding activity. It’s the ultimate blend of fun, education, and exploration. Lace up your walking shoes and get ready to explore!
The app and Website were a real pain. Even after complying with all of the long instructions and prompts, the app failed to present a trivia question when we were in the circle. Also this doesn't seem to actually work inside three colonial park. You still need to buy those tickets if you want to see the buildings and the guides.
This trivia walk was lots of fun. We had to skip a few questions, because William and Mary had a lot of construction going on, but we managed to do most of the questions. I like that we get to see and learn some things that we probably wouldn’t on our own.
This was such a great way to explore Williamsburg!! The whole family enjoyed it, and we’ve already recommended it to friends!!
As a former W&M student, I’ve walked these streets a thousand times, but this trivia walk made it feel brand new. I learned things I never knew about my college town! Super creative way to spend an afternoon.
We were visiting the area with friends and wanted something that would get us walking without wandering aimlessly. This trivia walk was perfect!
Our whole crew loved it! Kids were super into the clues, and my husband got surprisingly competitive. We got to see the William & Mary campus too, which was beautiful. Highly recommend for families! Thank you!
I didn’t think it was the kind of activity I'd enjoy but it was actually awesome! I've lived in Virginia for 20 years but never really explored Williamsburg. This was a fun way to learn more about the area!
Williamsburg is a fantastic family vacation. There is so to do and see. We loved that the kids got to get a lot of walking and energy out . To see unique things from the colonial area. The people are super informative.
We didn’t use the tickets. I didn’t realize that I needed to have responded to an email to get the password. I bought the tour, thinking the tickets and the App would be enough. Super frustrating!!!
This was a great walk on a beautiful day through the William and Mary Campus as well as colonial Williamsburg. Once we figured out that position one didn’t have a question, we were off! The only recommendation I have is a “You did it!” Screen at the end of the last spot.
We took a group of 14-21 year old girls on a trip to Colonial Williamsburg and were looking for away to get them involved and active in the area. This trivia walk was so perfect. They LOVED it. We purchased two and split our group in half to make it a competition. Would highly recommend this to anyone in the area, but especially those that want to see the important sights but don’t know where to start!
This was really fun! Such a great idea for a self-guided tour on your schedule, your timetable and with your personal group. We went as a couple and really enjoyed it. We were looking to do some walking, and this certainly provided that as well. The purchase was easy; download the app, open the map and off you go!
We thoroughly enjoyed the trivia walk. We especially enjoyed the trivia as we went through the campus of William and Mary. Walking through Colonial Williamsburg is always a special experience and fun being made aware of things that we had not learned before.
The trivia was so much fun. My husband was not sure but it turned out to be fun. We loved looking for the answers. Going through the William and Mary college was a first for us. Thanks for so much fun. The Ghost tour at 10 P.M. was very good and the leader was excellent. The patriot tour today was also great. The guide, Sam I think was very knowledgeable.
It was a great way to see and learn more about Williamsburg and have fun doing it. I have visited historic Williamsburg and William and Mary many times. This tour took us down paths and streets that I have never seen before.
I only rated it 4 out of 5 as it is in the beta stage. We were asked to test the Colonial Williamsburg Trivia Walk on our phone and gratefully took the opportunity. Overall the history and trivia questions were well thought out and interesting. We recommend you wear comfortable shoes, as it is a serious walk. You load an app from a link on your phone, and a map with red numbered circles appears. We worked through the numbered spots from lowest to highest as suggested, and the walk wound up with half the questions/spots on the William and Mary campus, and the other half within Colonial Williamsburg. A question will appear on your phone when you reach a numbered area. We had to use the provided hints a few times but the answers are not necessarily simple. There are answers both to be typed in and multiple choice. Some questions involve finding information posted around the area, some deductions must be made, at least one question where you must ask a Williamsburg reenactor a question, and history to learn. We chose to stop for lunch midway as we finished the campus part, and it was a good place to rest in the commercial area between the two with good restaurants/bars. There were a few minor glitches and one typo, but much better than I had expected; the company said they would correct what we found. We enjoyed the experience, learned some new information, and look forward to taking other walks or tours that triviawalks.com creates.
This was a great experience to get out and see some different aspects of Williamsburg including the William and Mary campus, which had so much history that I had never seen even though I have been to Williamsburg many times. I did this with my teenage children and it was a great way to do something historical and as a family without doing formal talks or tours that they hate. They were committed to doing every single spot!
We had a great time enjoying Colonial Williamsburg and learning some history. We've loved exploring Williamsburg for years, but the trivia walk took us to places we hadn't seen or didn't know much about. It was so much fun, the app was easy to use, and we would definitely recommend it for anyone who loves Williamsburg or is visiting for the first time and wants to explore history.
What a fun way to tour Colonial Williamsburg and learn. We had a great time using the app and walking around the area! Would do again.
This trivia walk made for an informative and fun day about town. Having visited Williamsburg for decades, I was surprised at the many places I didn't know about that we discovered on this walk. The app itself was user friendly and easy to use. The trivia questions were great; they inspired thought but could be enjoyed by many different age groups and levels. We paired this with a picnic for a perfect day!
THINK TWICE ABOUT GETTING THIS TOUR!!! We got this tour for a busy weekend in mid April. We had some tech difficulties getting it to start after pausing it after opening it to ensure it was working. HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DON’T OPEN IT UNTIL YOU ARE WILLING TO GO ALL THE WAY THROUGH UNTIL COMPLETION. This was a disaster as a regular tour. We encountered tech difficulties and we really didn’t learn anything. However, it does have some benefits under different circumstances. I would recommend against this tour if it’s your first time to Colonial Williamsburg or if you have aspirations of learning something new. This tour does not offer that. However, if you’ve been to Colonial Williamsburg numerous times or you have young children (who are old enough to read) this tour is entertaining. We did this at night when the crowds were low and actually enjoyed going through Williamsburg after dark and reading all the clues to answer. You can accomplish this entire tour at night in Williamsburg and it is a great experience for families with young children to do a unique nighttime experience outside the typical ghost tours being offered.
My friends and I had a lot of fun on this scavenger hunt. The app was easy to use and the clues ranged from simple to fun and complex. Great way to explore Colonial Williamsburg!
This is a fantastic way to learn about Colonial Williamsburg and the College of William & Mary! We all felt it was a nice alternative to the traditional Williamsburg tours, and our teens enjoyed it too. We stopped for ice cream and Cheese Shop to complete the fun experience!
A group of four of us (2 adults / 2 teens) took a great tour of William & Mary's campus, DOG street & the historic sites of Williamsburg, following the app map. Along the way, we answered trivia questions which required us to read the signs & learn about the history of the area.We started with lunch & ended with ice cream, and completed the trivia walk in between. It was a unique way to see the sights and a great afternoon!
I've been living & visiting in Williamsburg for nearly 50 years...and I learned so much through this tour! Great fun! Practical! Educational! Enjoy it!
What a neat way to see the area, I would highly recommend it. It was easy to use the app, too. Some of the questions were funny!
