Scavenger Hunt Tours Launch in 12 Cities - All Guided From Your Smart Phone

May 2, 2011 - PRLog -- Los Angeles, Ca– Now there is a new way to explore a city. Part game, part city walking tour, Urban Adventure Quest is an interactive adventure that navigates teams through the destination city of their choice as they solve clues and complete challenges, while seeing sights and learning local history. Urban Adventure Quest tours typically last three to four hours, making a Quest the perfect outing for friends, families and those looking to do something different in a city.  Whether a long-time local or a tourist in town for just days, Urban Adventure Quest creates a fun experience in all of its 12 destination cities.

Urban Adventure Quest is different from other scavenger hunt tours in one critical way.  All route directions, hints and game information are provided to participants through the use of their smart phone.  The Company’s Web-based software guides teams during their Quest, while keeping track of points and time. Participants pick a city, play on their own schedule and at their own pace. The tour is purchased online for one low price for each group, regardless of the number of people.

“As fans of the T.V. show, Amazing Race, we always wanted to take part in this type of adventure, but couldn’t take the time off from our “real jobs” to do so,” said the Urban Adventure Quest owners, Robbie Bos, Christie and Tami Walker. “Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to experience the excitement and adventure of the Amazing Race in just one day?”

Family owned and operated, the Urban Adventure Quest (UAQ) team has spent the last year and a half traveling the country creating scavenger hunt tours in popular urban locales including: Atlanta, Ga.; Catalina Island, Calif.; Dallas, Texas.; Hollywood, Calif.; Honolulu, Hawaii; Las Vegas, Nev.; Los Angeles, Calif.; New York, N.Y.; San Diego, Calif.; San Francisco, Calif.; and Vancouver, British Columba, Canada.

“While there are a number of one-day adventure race events happening in cities around the U.S., you need to be in a particular city, on a particular day, or you miss out. There was nothing out there with the flexibility to be played on the customer’s schedule.  And so we created Urban Adventure Quest.  You pick the city. You pick day. You pick the pace of play.”

Urban Adventure Quest can be the perfect group activity. Groups learn about a city and each other as they solve challenges, compete with friends, and learn team-building skills. A Group Quest is perfect for: Corporate team building or Conference events; Fraternities, Sororities or College clubs; Birthday, Bachelor or Bachelorette parties; Youth groups, Scout troops or Camp day trips; or any gathering of fun loving people.

Whether enjoying a Quest for the fun of the game or simply as a way to tour and explore a city, Urban Adventure Quest will allow those who participate a chance to experience a city in a whole new way.
