The Haunted Hollywood Scavenger Hunt
Where it’s not the actors that go “BOO!”
Visit ghost-plagued buildings and haunted spots in the heart of Hollywood while learning stories about the restless souls you might disturb. On teams, you’ll answer tricky, humorous questions to unearth some seriously scary secrets on this chilling and thrilling tour of old Hollywood.
Listen for the celebrity ghost who plays a bugle in Room 928 at a hotel, check out a movie-themed bookshop whose owner stuck his head in an oven, and see if you feel the spirit of a man with a cape and top hat at the famously haunted Hollywood Wax Museum. You’ll also discover the haunting secret of the Hollywood sign, why the pool at Hollywood High is a dangerous place, where a blonde bombshell’s ghost gets wet, and whose ghost likes to pace in front of the Chinese Theatre.
No knowledge of phantoms, poltergeists, hauntings, or Hollywood is required. Just bring your wits, your teamwork skills, and your bravery.

The Hooray for Hollywood Scavenger Hunt
Revealed: The most fun and fascinating secrets in Hollywood!
The perfect mixture of classic, campy, and kitsch, this hunt takes you through the historic heart of the movie industry—centering on Hollywood Boulevard near Highland Avenue. On teams, you’ll be challenged to answer fun questions that reveal the hidden history and secret sights of such places as the Chinese, Egyptian, and El Capitan theaters, the Roosevelt Hotel (scene of the first Academy Awards ceremony), and of course the Walk of Fame, among other legendary locations.
You’ll also encounter Snow White at a coffee shop, Robin Hood, a shocking Guinness Record holder, an over-laundered John Wayne, Charlie Chaplin, Austin Powers, Marilyn Monroe, Bugs Bunny, Jimmy Kimmel, and more.
This scavenger hunt is a popular team-building activity with all kinds of groups, from out-of-towners wanting to see the legendary sights to locals who want to rediscover a classic neighborhood and find out what they’ve been missing.
What are players saying about the Hollywood scavenger hunt?
A 5-star review on Yelp: “This was such a fun unique activity to do! We did a scavenger hunt through Hollywood and we had a blast! I’ve been in LA for ten years and I always avoided the Walk of Fame, thinking it was too crowded with nothing to do. There was so much history and fascinating things I’ve never seen before. It was such an amazing experience, and our hunt host Lita was excellent! We had so much fun with her! Lita was very knowledgeable and so fun! I would definitely do this again!”
“We just went on the Hooray for Hollywood hunt yesterday and we had a blast!! We were celebrating our friend Melissa’s birthday, and what a way to do it. Our hunt host Charlie was so awesome! I found you on the internet and glad I did and our group had the best time.”

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.
