Why Philadelphia Loves Our Scavenger Hunts

Don't just take our word for it. Since 1999, numerous media outlets have recommended our team-building games, including the Philadelphia Inquirer, USA Today, Travel + Leisure, and the Today Show.

“Fantastic hunt staged for our company offsite of 170+ employees. Staff onsite were super communicative and helpful, did a great job setting up the event and had fun personalities. Really enjoyed this and would highly recommend for any other corporate or team events! So much more fun to get out and explore the city for team building rather than staying in conference rooms, etc. Would definitely suggest working with the Watson Adventures crew!”

“Watson Adventures is Fantastic! Booked the Rittenhouse Ramble for my 8th grade students as an end of the year adventure! It was fun and interactive! The tour organizers were knowledgeable, nice, and very organized! If you’re looking for a good time, look no further!”

Cordell T.

“The Team Building Scavenger Hunt was a delightful experience—it was not only educational but also entertaining. The hunt wasn’t just about racing against time or wining a prize, but it was collaborative and fun. The teams mingled, shared insightful ideas and laughter as we solved riddles and pieced together the artworks’ hidden stories. Our CEO said he felt like Tom Hanks in the Da Vinci Code movie. It is one of the best team building experiences that we’ve had in a long time.”
