Austin is a city where the ordinary transforms into the extraordinary for your next birthday party. Imagine the playful chaos as your team navigates the bustling streets of Downtown Austin, turning everyday street furniture into props for absurd photo challenges. Head over to South Congress Avenue, where colorful storefronts and vibrant murals become the perfect setting for your most ridiculous poses. In East Austin, the artistic spirit inspires spontaneous silliness, inviting you to interact with its unique character in unexpected ways. Even the polished avenues of The Domain can't escape the FrogQuest charm, as teams find humor in its modern landscape, perhaps staging a dramatic scene with an unsuspecting fountain. And around the University of Texas Campus, the youthful energy is contagious, encouraging teams to embrace their inner child and create unforgettable, laugh-out-loud moments. This is about interacting with the city in playful, unexpected ways; it's about seeing the world through a playful lens, where every corner holds the potential for a hilarious photo op. Get ready to unleash your creativity, make strangers smile, and rediscover the joy of acting utterly silly in public.

Downtown Austin

Downtown Austin is a playground of possibilities for your FrogQuest team! With bustling streets, quirky shops, and vibrant murals, you'll find endless props and people to recruit for your wildest photo challenges. Get ready to strike a pose with street performers or stage a silly scene in front of a historic landmark.

South Congress Avenue

South Congress Avenue, or 'SoCo,' is a treasure trove of weird and wonderful for your FrogQuest adventure. From vintage signs and colorful storefronts to unique characters and delicious food trucks, this iconic street offers a feast for the eyes and plenty of unexpected backdrops. Find a giant cowboy boot to pose with or convince a local musician to join your photo op!

East Austin

East Austin is where the art and soul of the city collide, making it a prime spot for your FrogQuest escapades. Discover vibrant street art, hidden patios, and a diverse crowd ready to jump into your challenges. You'll find plenty of unique textures, colors, and surprising props to make your photos pop.

The Domain

The Domain is Austin's upscale outdoor haven, perfect for a FrogQuest with a touch of class and a whole lot of fun. With its stylish shops, inviting green spaces, and lively restaurants, you'll have no shortage of interesting backdrops and willing participants. Think fountain dives (not really!), impromptu fashion shows, or a team yoga pose in the middle of a bustling plaza.

University of Texas Campus

The University of Texas Campus is buzzing with youthful energy and iconic architecture, making it a fantastic FrogQuest location. From the sprawling lawns to the grand buildings and student hangouts, there are countless opportunities for creative challenges. Find a mascot to pose with, stage a study break gone wild, or create a human pyramid by the iconic Tower.

Need an idea for your next birthday. This is it! Booked this for my daughter's 14th birthday scavenger hunt at the mall. The girls all had a blast running through the mall trying to complete all the dares. Some of the stores even helped out to ensure they completed the dare. I will definitely be rebooking them for future birthday plans.

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!

Chris and Jake made our son's 18th birthday a blast by hosting a Scavenger Hunt in Johnson City, TN. If you are looking for an out of the ordinary birthday party adventure for adults, teens and even kiddos this is an awesome idea and they host it very well from start up to finish.

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!

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.
