The Hidden Hoboken Scavenger Hunt

The hunt is on in Hoboken!

Even if you’re a longtime local, you won’t believe the surprising places and cool sights you’ll discover on this group game—from the cobblestone streets with historic houses to a cliff-top view of Manhattan that might be the best view of the skyline anywhere. On teams, you’ll decipher clues to answer tricky, humorous questions about interesting locations, take creative photos, find and create unusual items, and seek out staffers for a surprise challenge.

Along the way, you might also find…

  • A spectacular view of Manhattan at the Stevens Institute of Technology
  • Quirky reminders of bygone Hoboken landmarks
  • The Cake Boss’ bakery
  • A sorta shady president
  • Hunting grounds that used to be all water
  • A glimpse of the city’s lively bar and restaurant scene
  • The palatial Beaux-Arts train station

Don’t worry if you’re not a history buff: you just need sharp eyes and comfy shoes to win.

If you’ve been looking for a fun way to celebrate a birthday, entertain out-of-town guests, get together with friends and family, or do some team building with colleagues, you’ve found it! This scavenger hunt is the perfect way for a diverse group of people to work together, get to know one another better, and have a blast.

A Kids Edition is also available, in which adults and kids team up. Recommended for ages 10 and up, it’s a great game for school field trips.

The Murder Mystery Mayhem Scavenger Hunt

Beware: there’s a killer in your midst

Someone playing this game with you is a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. His or her good side knows nothing about the evil side—and the evil side has challenged you to prevent your own murder. Everyone in your group has been poisoned, and the clock is ticking down on your time left to live. To reveal the killer’s identity, you’ll have to complete a series of photo challenges, solve interlocking puzzles, decipher coded text messages, and more. If you succeed, you get the antidote. If you fail…well, you know.

If you love escape-room games, you’ll love this murder mystery scavenger hunt. But even better, you won’t be locked in a room for an hour: this game can be played almost anywhere. 

An in-person murder mystery for any location!

We have a variety of versions, depending on where you want to play. Such as…

  • A city, town, or neighborhood
  • A science, history, or entertainment museum
  • A zoo or aquarium
  • An office building
  • A school or campus
  • A botanical garden or park
