I did my first FrogQuest recently as part of a company team-building event and found it expertly organized, creatively challenging, and an absolute blast. Our team enjoyed it thoroughly and I hope we'll do it again. I'll also be seeking any other opportunities to do one (my next birthday?). Seriously good. I highly recommend.

I used FrogQuest for my granddaughters 16th birthday. It was a huge hit and all the family members, from 10 to 84, had a blast! I would recommend this event and this company to anyone. They did a professional and excellent job!

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.

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!!

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.

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

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.

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!

Great time was had by all who came to celebrate my daughter's 35th birthday and earning her Masters degree. They were organized, professional, and fun. Highly recommend an evening using Chris, the owner.
