There are two places:
Typically 15-20 minutes, but can take longer. If your team is rejected, re-verification may take an additional 15-20 minutes, so it's important you get it right the first time.
Each treasure hunt is specifically tailored to each city. Expect 10-25 stops with some stops being close together.
You'll be solving city specific clues that'll lead you from location to location. At some locations you'll be required to complete challenges before moving onto the next clue. The app will notify you as you get closer to each stop and when you arrive at each stop.
Not to worry! We have in-app clue helps available for purchase:
Chances are the app is working properly and you are either:
99% of the time this is the case. But if you feel you're experiencing a 'bug' you may tap on the gear icon in the top left of the app, then submit your feedback here.
As with all apps, you may force close/quit the app and reopen it to 'refresh' it.
You can start anywhere, however, leading up to the hunt we may send out a more centralized meeting place (typically a public park or similar) within the hunt boundaries. At 9am (local time) on Hunt Day the Adventure List will be unveiled within the App. Map out and plan what suits you best to have fun and win! For Fun Hunts, just register, open the app and start solving clues!
Some Hunts may have a suggested starting place based on nearby activities. It is not required to start there. Suggested starting points may be displayed on your city's Facebook Event Page 1-2 days before the Hunt, and may be displayed within the app on the Adventure List. For Scavenger Hunts, just register, open the app and start solving clues!
Just a smartphone with the most recent version the AdventureHunt.com App installed and a PUBLIC, NOT PRIVATE Instagram account. We do suggest:
Posting a story to Instagram is quick and easy! You'll need an Instagram account first, they're free, and it's easy to signup. Below is a step-by-step tutorial video on how to create and post a story to Instagram:
If you still need help, you can learn more at Instagram's Help Center.
Where the treasure is buried ;)
In your city and its surrounding areas. Typically no more than 20-30 minutes outside of the city's metropolitan area.
It's a secret! Your Hunt's list of challenges will be unveiled immediately after the event starts. Some activities are worth more points than others. Skill level is not really a factor, so don't worry. Just have fun! Watch Past Hunts here. Scavenger Hunts do not have an Adventure List.
The Adventure List has several different activities to choose from and can be completed without additional costs. Some activities may cost money, but are not required. Adventure Hunt and its sponsors do not cover the cost of any activities.
The Adventure List works like a point system and consists of two sections: Fun and Adventure! Your team will need accumulate 10 points for both Fun + 10 points for Adventure. Get points by completing activities and posting them to your team's PUBLIC Instagram Story. If your team's Instagram account is set to private we will not see your stories. Once you have 10 points in each section, submit your team for verification.
Some clues will require you to complete more challenges before moving on. The necessary points for those clues will be displayed within the app.
Be prepared, bold, creative and clever. Select challenges that you feel you can complete, there is something for everyone! If a challenge requires use of a specific item, think of fun ways to complete the challenge for the points! (i.e. if you don't own a boogie board, but want to complete a boogie-boarding activity, don't buy or rent one–borrow one from a friend or even ask someone on the beach if you can use theirs for a couple minutes to take a video–just always remember to be safe, smart and follow the Rules).
No, unless otherwise specified. All teammates must be present in each activity, whether visibly or audibly.
No. Only one teammate needs to post to Instagram, but you all need to be present.
Yes! ALL clues can be solved without purchasing any hints (search google, ask friends and really think--don't expect to be able to read a clue and immediately solve it). Most teams don't use them, but if you need them, they're there. Who knows, maybe a little extra help will get you to Panama!
In the unlikely event that multiple teams are digging for and find the treasure at the same time, the treasure will be awarded to whichever team arrived there first–based on team's timestamp within the app.
Yes. However, they will not receive any prizes.
We recommend wearing comfortable active wear with a swimsuit underneath and a good pair of running shoes.
Treasure Hunts are on a set day and time where there is an Adventure List required to unlock the treasure map and a buried treasure awaits the winner. Scavenger Hunts are available 24/7/365 and participants can start whenever they want, there is no Adventure List, the Hunt begins with clues and treasure map in the app and there is no buried treasure.
It typically takes about 2-3 hours for the treasure to be found after the event has started.
Nope! Your teammates may register anytime before Hunt Day. You cannot participate by yourself, the app will not allow it.
Treasure Hunts are played in teams of 2-4 people.
One team per Hunt.
The day before the Hunt is best, but you may register anytime before the event starts.
Where the treasure is buried ;) That'll remain a secret, it's up to you to find it!
Yes, we verify your team via Instagram. It's free and easy to use. Creating an account takes less than 1 minute. It needs to be set to PUBLIC, NOT PRIVATE. If the account is private our verification team will not be allowed to view your team's posts.
Treasure Hunts can have 2, 3 or 4 team members. Have your family member or friend take their place. Check and post to your city's Facebook Event page to see if there are others in your position. Someone is almost always available.
Just like most events, all Registrations are final. We do not offer any refunds. Immediately upon registering, you receive discount codes from all our sponsors worth far more than the registration fee. Weather will never be a reason for a refund, this is a Treasure Hunt people.
You have two options:
Yes! Have your parent/legal guardian print, sign, and date this page then take a picture and email it to us.
That's entirely up to you! Our Hunts can be completed by almost anyone regardless of age and abilities.
Yes! You may register for someone else and give them this voucher.
When you log into the app for the first time and digitally check-in (redeem your ticket) you may change your email there. Once you change your email that will be your new login to access your Hunt.
If you need assistance you may email letsgo@adventurehunt.com with your name, registration number, incorrect email address, and your updated email address.
