The Downtown Nashville Scramble Scavenger Hunt

Uncover Music City’s secrets…

…on a team-building game that takes your group in search of historical and hysterical locations in the heart of downtown, from the State Capitol to the Country Music Hall of Fame. Clever clues will lead your team to fascinating places—famous and obscure—and you’ll choose which ones to track down, based on where you want to begin and end the game. No previous knowledge of Nashville is necessary: you just need sharp eyes, comfy shoes, and good teamwork.

The Nashville group activities on this game include…

  • The honky-tonk clubs—and erstwhile Ernest Tubbs—along Broadway
  • Wise words from stars outside the Country Music Hall of Fame
  • A legendary location at the heart of the civil rights movement
  • Famed musicians permanently posed outside the Ryman Auditorium, the original home of the Grand Ole Opry
  • Huge, colorful, crazy murals on the sides of buildings
  • Insanely tempting treats at Goo Goo Clusters
  • An artistic gathering of country stars that’s part “Last Supper” and part “Last Round”

Your team might tackle such questions as…

  • Second Avenue used to be called Market Street. With its back to the Cumberland River, this was Nashville’s bustling main drag in the 19th century, packed with saloons, stores, and wholesalers. Not far from the George Jones Museum, find Butler’s Run, featuring a very good boy, excellent at following the command, “Stay!” What name makes him sound suitable for a spread in Vanity Fair? Answer: In the passageway through a building called Butler’s Run, leading to a nice view of the river, a statue honors a dog nicknamed the Canine Bon Vivant. Good boy!

You’ll also be challenged to take unusual and creative Team Photos, find or create objects, and meet up with our Hunt Host for a surprise bonus challenge.

The International Edition is great for groups with participants whose first language isn’t English. And school groups love the Kids Edition for field trips in Nashville.

Don’t just stay in Nashville—see Nashville! Whether you’re visiting from out of town or you’re a born-in-a-Nudie-suit local, you’ll be surprised and delighted by this game that reveals downtown’s secrets.

Bride ‘n’ Go Seek: The Bachelorette Scavenger Hunt in Nashville

Recommended by Modern Bride

See the best of downtown Nashville as bachelorettes, brides-to-be, bridesmaids, and the rest of your friends go in search of objects and take team photos, with each challenge somehow relating to all things bridal. It’s a classic scavenger hunt with Watson Adventures’ distinctive, humorous twist—and it’s a fun way for your friends to get to know one another better.

Our Hunt Host will meet you at the start to set up the game and set the mood, and again at the end to score the results and announce the winners. You can add on our customized Know Your Bride Quiz, featuring unusual and humorous questions about the bride and her fellow celebrants.

Please note that the hunt does not include or allow alcohol, and the hunt does not take you into bars. But if you like, the hunt can finish at a bar, where the Hunt Host will announce the results and raise a toast to the winners. And there are certainly a lot of honky tonk bars along Broadway in the heart of the hunt territory, near the legendary Ryman Auditorium and the Country Music Hall of Fame. Want to hunt somewhere else? Just name your neighborhood and we’ll bring the game.

The Bride ’n’ Go Seek Bachelorette Scavenger Hunt in Nashville starts at $700 for up to 20 people and $30 for each additional person.

Rave reviews!

“My sister’s Bride ’n’ Go Seek bachelorette hunt was last Saturday, and I just want to say thank you for making it the funnest bachelorette most of us have ever experienced. The clues were very creative and got all of our creative juices flowing. We are still e-mailing and laughing about it. I have recommended it to other friends planning bachelorettes. I can’t wait for my next Watson Adventure!”

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.
