The Awesome Austin
Scavenger Hunt

Discover the secrets and sights of Austin…

…on an entertaining and unusual scavenger hunt that, depending on where you want to start, can have you exploring the majestic Capitol Building, Congress Avenue, Sixth Street, and nearby areas. Your team will follow clues and answer clever questions that provide a fun tour of landmark buildings, historic sites, and quirky details.

Along the way, you might find…

• The Driskill Hotel, where the state’s political elite have gathered since 1886, and featuring a grand lobby that will make you gasp
• A building whose columns and girders are made of recast exploded Confederate shells
• The gargoyle-bedecked Paramount Theatre, built in 1915 on the site of the 1839 War Department for the Republic of Texas
• Stunning St. Mary’s Cathedral, built in 1884 with stained glass imported from France and Germany
• The drugstore where short-story master O. Henry worked as a pharmacist

You’ll meet the Hunt Host along the way for a surprise challenge, as well as take amusing Team Photos that will bring out your creativity—and perhaps your goofier side.

Don’t worry: you don’t need to know anything about Austin or its history to do well and even win on these hunts. You just need sharp eyes, comfy boots, and a sense of humor.

Consider this rave review from a delighted corporate group: “The booking process was very easy, and it was great to have it customized to our group. Watson Adventures was super flexible and accommodating. Our team had a blast, and with many of them being from out of state, it was a great way to see and learn about the downtown area and history. We will definitely look up Watson for our next event!”
