What Is a Scavenger Hunt?
Fun Team-Building Activities—with a Dash of Culture
How Do the Scavenger Hunts Work?
Our scavenger hunts use witty, funny questions and creative challenges that bring out the best in a fascinating place—and in you and your teammates. You can explore a famous museum, a great neighborhood, or other cool venues. Special editions add a murder mystery or an “escape game” puzzle. Or we can bring the game to your office.

Scavenger Hunt FAQ Right This Way ›What our clients are saying
“The follow-through and attention to detail was flawless…”
“We found Watson Adventures to be a tremendous partner. From concept to execution, they worked with us in developing a smart, strategically aligned team-building initiative. Equally importantly, their follow-through, attention to detail, and implementation was flawless. We would strongly recommend them to any group or company looking to enhance their inter-team collaboration and effectiveness.” —John Partilla, president
“The perfect out-of-the-box team-building exercise!”
“I can’t begin to tell you how much our staff enjoyed the hunt last week, especially since we work in the Union Square neighborhood. We really became aware of the many details, and history, that until recently we had overlooked. The activity was unlike others we’ve had in the past, and it engaged everyone’s participation—the perfect out-of-the-box team-building exercise! Brian was the perfect host, infusing the right amount of energy and enthusiasm every step of the way. We had a great time.”
“Amazing! Phenomenal! Fantastic!”
“IT WAS AMAZING!!!!! Seriously, the BEST event we've had with this group—and one of the best events I've ever held. Yeah, I'll be talking you up with some of my other groups! Mitchell was PHENOMENAL! And Kristi was fantastic. My staff was still talking about how great it was this afternoon. THANK YOU, THANK YOU!”
Jeff Bezos: “I can’t think of a better way to bring people together and have fun.”
“Thanks for the energy and creativity you put into our hunt at the Met—incredibly original....I loved your witty questions and racing through the museum. Everyone was thrilled. You have 50 new Watson Adventures groupies.” —Jeff Bezos, founder & CEO
“For adventurous kids of all ages”
“The hunt was great. It is the perfect party for adventurous, curious kids of all ages.” —Cynthia Rowley, fashion designer
“I received nothing but rave reviews for the event…”
“We had a blast. I received nothing but rave reviews for the event: ‘This is the best off-site I’ve ever been to,’ etc. The activity was beyond any expectation I had. We loved the questions, and what a great environment [the American Museum of Natural History] to have a scavenger hunt. Ophira [the Hunt Host] was great: she handled the one extremely late team member with ease. Should the situation arise, I’ll highly recommend Watson Adventures to anyone looking for ideas for team building or a party.”
“Watson went above and beyond…”
“Thank you for the work the Watson team did to expand and improve our Bounty Hunters contest. From the extra creative to the facilitation, Watson went above and beyond to provide an excellent turnkey service for us in Washington and Philadelphia.” —Marissa Shrum

“I was very impressed with the virtual format of the game”

“After a three-day virtual meeting we all needed a bit of fun…”
“Our team had great fun with the game, and Shae [the host] was wonderful!!! After a three-day virtual meeting we all needed a bit of fun, and this was a great way to end it. Some wrote to me right after we finished the activity to tell me how much fun they had had. I really enjoyed it and would have wished for more time! 😊 It was great to do something non work-related with the group. I will definitely be recommending the experience!” —Julia Abalo, Project Coordinator & Executive Assistant to Regional President, International Developed Markets, Internal Medicine
