I did a remotely managed scavenger hunt and it went just as smoothly as if people were standing right there to help facilitate it. My friends and I had the best time and I would absolutely do it again, no question!!!

After time ran out, we all assembled at a bar had a good laugh over a few beers while reviewing all the silly photos that were collected as part of the scavenger hunt. We all had a blast and definitely recommend for a medium to large group.

Thank you Chris for organizing such a fun event. The piece of mind I was able to have while playing was worth every penny and more.
I highly recommend it to all groups of people looking for a little adventure and a ton of laughs while playing a game!

We opted for remote judging and it went off without a hitch - his team was super responsive and available to help online throughout the race. The girls had so much fun...watching them made all the grown-ups chaperoning want to participate in a photo quest, too. Thanks, FrogQuest!

First of all, the organizer, Chris, is awesome!! He was very active with communication all the way through the entire process - from fielding questions before we decided to go with FrogQuest; through the planning phase; great comments while he was judging the event; to follow up after the event.
We choose FrogQuest because it wasn't the typical downtown scavenger hunt that you find as options online. There are other areas of the city, which is something that we were looking for. Also, it wasn't about finding landmarks, it was about creating memories by completing a variety of different types of "quests" that make it fun for everyone.
At the end of the event, a slideshow is put together for all the teams/participants to watch all the photos that were submitted for the various quests. It is great to see what everyone was up to!
You can also very easily download all the photos that were submitted through a link that is part of the online platform.
There is really no other choice in town, go with FrogQuest!
