Scavenger Hunts
Play and explore SF, NYC, LA, or another city of your choice!
Scavenger hunts are a great team building and team bonding activity. Our games are designed by an MIT- and Stanford-educated neurobiologist with extensive experience in corporate team building. The challenges test the group’s communication, collaboration and consensus-building skills, and are always a fun adventure. Teams strategically plan their route, solve problems and puzzles, and submit innovative challenge photos and videos.

”Very well-organized. The clues were simple enough to find, but they still required teamwork. It felt like a really nice, creative, personal event that we'll always remember.” -Figma
