Boston Scavenger Hunts

On most of our scavenger hunts, you and your teammates will search for answers to tricky and humorous questions and complete photo challenges to explore your venue of choice, almost like a gamified walking tour of some of Boston’s coolest places. No previous knowledge of the venue is required!

All scavenger hunts are organized and led by our acclaimed Hunt Hosts. Depending on the size of your group, the Host might be accompanied by assistants.

From Boston museums and neighborhoods to zoos and aquariums, we have crafted dozens of scavenger hunts for some of Beantown’s most popular spots. Don’t see the location you’re looking for in the list above? Our Hunt Hosts can help tailor our Anywhere scavenger hunts to your starting location of choice! 

Our specialty is staging scavenger hunts for groups, such as corporate teams, nonprofits, student groups, and more. We’ve organized outdoor scavenger hunts for as many as 500 people, but any scavenger hunt listed on our site—whether a location-specific scavenger hunt or an “Anywhere” hunt—can be booked by private groups of any size. 

For smaller parties and events (4-12 people), we offer discounted small group scavenger hunts in select locations. In Boston, these venues include the MFA, the Museum of Science, and the Freedom Trail. These small group games are popular for small teams, birthday parties, bachelor/bachelorette parties, and family reunions.

We offer public hunts in a handful of cities around the U.S, including Boston! We typically offer 1-2 public games each month here in Beantown, so check out our public hunt calendar to find an upcoming hunt near you. Best played in teams of 2-6.

Our corporate scavenger hunts aren’t your typical team building activity. In fact, they’re not even your typical team building scavenger hunt! Each hunt is written by professional writers (with wicked senses of humor, if we do say so ourselves) to deliver laughs and fun while testing your teamwork, with each question designed to bring out team members’ diverse talents. With the help of our fantastic customer service team and Hunt Hosts, we have been organizing scavenger hunts for companies of all sizes for more than 25 years.
