Boston Freedom Trail Scavenger Hunt Adventure

Great for a tight budget

The scavenger hunt is just fun… we took our time and also went to eat in between… our own pace and lots of historical background information Highly recommended for the price 😄

Boston Scavenger Hunt Walking Tour and Game

Extremely Disappointing – Not Worth the Money

This was one of the most disappointing experiences I've ever paid for. Charging nearly $50 per person for what is essentially a self-guided walk around the city is unreasonable. There was no tour guide, no organized group activity, no food, no drinks, no transportation, and no amenities of any kind. The entire experience consisted of following clues on a phone while walking from one location to another. Most of the information could easily be found online for free. There was nothing unique, interactive, or entertaining enough to justify the high price. The challenges were basic, and the overall experience felt more like a free walking route than a professionally organized tour. For nearly $50, I expected some level of service, guidance, refreshments, exclusive access, or at least a memorable experience. Instead, it felt like paying a premium price for an app and a list of locations. The value received was nowhere close to the amount charged. I would not recommend this scavenger hunt to anyone. Save your money, download a free map, and explore the city on your own—you'll likely have the same experience without spending $49.

Boston Murder Mystery: Outdoor Detective Escape Game

Wicked fun!

This was our first Questo experience and it was so fun! The clues are challenging and took us to parts of the area that we hadn’t been before. The directions are very clear as are the maps. We will definitely be doing more Questo challenges!
