Used this for my daughters 13th birthday party. 15 kids scurrying around for 2 hours being silly and having fun together. Could not have been better. Also having a copy of all the pictures after the event made it an easy way to record the memories of the day.

Leading up to the event the communication with the team, the planning and execution was flawless. I was pleasantly surprised and would easily recommend to anyone.

CAN YOU HEAR ME...I'm screaming from the rooftops about this company! I contacted FrogQuest in hopes of adding a little something special to my best friends 40th birthday celebration in San Diego. Let me tell you ...Chris and his team did not disappoint! We all had an absolute blast and cannot stop talking and raving about our experience and their company. Our only concern is if they'll do a scavenger hunt for us in Vegas this coming December. Book your unforgettable adventure with FrogQuest, its a memorable experience you'll be laughing about for months!

Wow, if you're looking for something hilariously fun, memorable and different for a group outing or team building, look no further!!! I used FrogQuest for an all girls birthday scavenger hunt and it was nothing short of fantastic!! Chris answered all of my questions and I had a lot of them) so I knew exactly what I was getting into, but not enough so that I wouldn't be surprised on the day of. He was super thorough and organized from start to finish.

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!!!

We celebrated my sister-in-law's 30th birthday in San Diego. One of the highlights was our FrogQuest scavenger hunt adventure. We had a lot of fun running around the Gaslamp district with which none of us were familiar. It's a great way to inadvertently get accustomed to a new place.

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.

Yesterday, I celebrated my 28th birthday and New Beginnings Party with a Photo Scavenger Hunt! 9 of my closest friends and I came together in Old Town San Diego to compete against one another in the most hilarious and comfort zone shocking hunts of our lives! We ALL had such a blast running around town and being OUTRAGEOUS to fulfil the hunt. Certainly one of my most favorite birthdays EVER!

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 celebrated my daughter's fourteenth birthday with a scavenger hunt with 14 friends at Old Town on a weekend afternoon. Chris was so responsive and patient throughout the preparation process and was extremely professional, friendly, customer service-oriented and organized. I was able to pre-screen their photo challenges so that they were age appropriate - I can see how FrogQuest's events can easily be adapted to different types of groups and locations. (I had originally researched options for a work team-building event and FrogQuest had the best offering and was competitively priced.

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!

Wow, where to start?!? I guess maybe a bit of back ground - this was for a milestone birthday (40). We ended up with 22 people, so a very strong turn out / large group to be organized and managed.

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!

Amazing job making my daughters 21st during COVID a night to remember. Everyone had a blast!! Thank you

Tricia K.

Awwwww was SO MUCH FUN! We did this for my daughter's 13th birthday and the kids had a blast. They were really creative and each team picked up different quests so it was pretty cool to see all the funny ones. And Chris was able to put this together really last-minute and it worked out great despite my chaos and stress of the week. It really made the party and thank you so much! Highly recommend.

Lisa T.

Sooo much fun and easy. Did it for sister-in-laws 40th birthday with a throw back to the 80's. Take a few seconds when the app opens to play with it to get familiar. Would do it again for sure.

Sue L.

Such a blast to do... my sister loves scavenger hunts and this was a great one to do they even made it so the little kids could enjoy doing it the remarks on the pictures just added to it. Wish we could have had a few min after to finish uploading the rest of the pictures we had 'I'm sure we would have won,but all in all it was a blast'

Tara H.

This is our 3rd time using FrogQuest - safe to say we LOVE it! Such a unique idea for group get togethers, our friends rave about it. A lot of 'Remember When' from over the years doing this activity. The team at FrogQuest makes it too easy to have a good time: they come up with all of the challenges based on guidelines you set (include challenges with strangers, drinking okay, etc) and the app is very user-friendly. If you're on the fence about booking, don't be! Get on FrogQuest - it's so much fun!!
