Urban Adventure Quest receives Award of Excellence from TripAdvisor

SANTA ROSA VALLEY, Calif. - July 19, 2013 - PRLog -- After only two years in business, Urban Adventure Quest Los Angeles is ranked 17 of 165 activities in L.A. by TripAdvisor and is the winner of the 2013 Certificate of Excellence, with 19 excellent TripAdvisor reviews. Urban Adventure Quest scavenger hunt adventures offer locals and visitors alike, a new way to explore downtown Los Angeles, Hollywood, or Catalina Island. Part game, part city walking tour, these smart phone guided scavenger hunt adventures are interactive walking tours that navigates teams through an urban locale. Teams of 2 to 5 people solve clues and complete challenges, while seeing sights and learning local history.  Whether a long-time local or a visitor in town for just a few days, Urban Adventure Quest is a fun way to experience Los Angeles, Hollywood or Avalon on Catalina Island.

“I have lived in Los Angeles for decades but never taken the time to see most of the sights on Urban Adventure Quest Los Angeles. Clever questions lead you through downtown sights such as Disney Concert Hall, Olvera Street, and The Bradbury Building. Plus it gives interesting facts about each attraction. Great fun for teens and adults!” said TripAdvisor reviewer, Brian C. of Manhattan Beach, California.

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. The tour is purchased online for one low price for the entire group, regardless of the number of people, and lasts about 3.5 hours. Best group size is 4 to 5 people. Once a Quest is purchased, participants can play on their own schedule and at their own pace. This is not an event.

         Recently featured on California Life with Heather Dawson, this interactive adventure is gaining in popularity with over 12,000 people participating across the U.S. since the company went live in April of 2011.

“I did the Los Angeles UAQ with my sister and best friend... we had an absolute blast!!!! UAQ has just the right combination of games, questions, and clues to get you around Los Angeles in a fun and exciting way!” Dana Randolph, Simi Valley.

There’s also an L.A. Mini Quest that starts from the L.A. Public Library and ends at L.A. Live and the Staples Center. The Hollywood Quest starts at Hollywood and Highland, leading people to famous and little known sights along the way. As you would expect on a Hollywood tour, there is plenty information on movie stars, movies and Hollywood history.

There are three Quests on Catalina Island, one is a walking tour, one is a bike tour, and the third is a combo of walking and golf cart tour. All three tours start in Avalon and will show you a side of the city you’ve never seen.

“Using the golf cart was so much fun. I’ve been to Catalina eight times and never learned as much as I did on this tour,” Daniel Britt, Newport Beach, Calif.

         Whether you want to compete for a high score or simply use the Quest as a way to explore the city, Urban Adventure Quest will show you a city in a whole new way.
