Our Favorite Locations
in Portland, Oregon

Any busy metropolitain area (in the world) is a great place for our Photo Scavenger Hunts, but here are a few of our favorite spots in Portland, Oregon

Downtown Portland

The city center is one of Portland's most historic districts with an abundance of interesting character we can play with. Start at the waterfront, pioneer square, or elsewhere. It's your choice.

Northeast Historic

Our personal favorite, this district is just east of the city center and the Willamette river. Full of surprises and home to places like Creepy's, City Liquidators, Elvis Bar, Lovecraft Bar, and so much more!

Northwest District

Also known as the "23rd Street Shopping District", here you'll find the famous ice cream shop Salt & Straw among the various Victorian inspired shops, bars, and restaurants.

Pearl District

Near downtown just north of Burnside, the Pearl District is home to various breweries, restaurants, and one of the largest used book stores in the country, Powell's Bookstore.

Sunnyside

Sunnyside is actually made up of two smaller neighborhoods, Belmont and Hawthorne. Both are funky and fu with tons of vintage stores and a boutique-y, hipster feel.

Alberta District

A super fun, hipster-friendly district, especially during the summer months when they host a fantastic street festival every last Thursday of the month.

Lloyd Center

Concerned about the weather? Then let's take this show inside. Lloyd shopping center offers so much to play with, including an indoor ice skating rink, stores, and lots of friendly people.

Hollywood

A very well-established Portland neighborhood with easy access to the local MAX transit, this area's pride and joy centers around the historic theater but offers lots more.

What to Expect

Events take 2-ish hours by default, adjusted to your schedule as needed.

Setup & Send off!

~10 minutes

We'll meet you in the heart of the play zone, explain the rules, and send you off on your quest.

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.

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!

We had my daughter's 13th birthday party in Old Town. They had an amazing scavenger hunt with FrogQuest's help! The kids had so much fun running around and doing silly things. The suggestion of dressing up was a good one. Each team dressed different and made the pictures so fun to look at. I can't wait to use them for my son's birthday!

Chris coordinated a wonderful FrogQuest adventure in Encinitas for a family reunion. We had a fantastic time completing the tasks and he even created some special tasks that included our 3 year-old. We loved seeing the photos afterwards on a slideshow and would high recommend the FrogQuest Scavenger Hunt to others.

We did this for my high school student council bonding day and it was so funny seeing all the students run around our town making memories and having fun. If you're looking for a good time definitely consider FrogQuest, it's super easy and exciting!

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.

The best birthday party ever!! We booked a game for my daughter's 11th birthday party. The kids couldnt have more fun. The parents commented that they actually "really had a blast" during a kids party. Amazing memories. Thank you FrogQuest

I've done 2 events with FrogQuest, one in Encinitas and the other in Pacific Beach. And, boy are they fun!!!:) they always have creative and funny missions, we dress up in team costumes, and we have such a blast getting strangers involved in our pictures;) and when it's over, we watch the awesome slideshow of everyone's adventure over drinks with new friends;) I'll definitely be doing more scavenger hunts in the future. FrogQuest rocks!!:)

Chris and his team at FrogQuest not only know how to put on an event, they know how to throw a PARTY! We were fortunate enough to race through the streets of Carlsbad during an event last year and we had a blast the entire time. My crew strongly recommends any event these folks put on. Enjoy the Adventure!

A friend of mine invited me to be part of his team. Initially, I wasn't too sure about it, but I checked out the FrogQuest website, read through the many Yelp reviews, and gave it a chance, since everyone seemed to be having such a good time. I'm VERY glad I did! My team had so much fun that we signed up again. I've been to two events so far, my first in Carlsbad and a second in Encinitas. Both were a blast. Both were very different. It's clear that Chris goes to extra effort to customize the quest lists to each venue's surroundings. A++ quests too, which are a perfect mix of clever, challenging, and whimsy. As much fun as the scavenger hunt was, the slideshow afterwards was hysterical. By the time you return the starting point, he's got the slideshow playing on the bar's TVs with photos of all the teams included. It's really fun to see what other teams had to do in order to get their shot! Many laughably memorable moments caught forever.

Here's a couple of pro tips...
1. don't interpret the quests too literally because you'll often get credit for thinking creatively
2. it helps to divide the quest list into parts, so that each team member is responsible for keeping an eye out for a subset of the entire list
3. wear comfortable costumes and shoes because this is a high energy event
4. I highly recommend dressing up. it's crazy how many people want to join in on the fun to help you complete your quests, which is a HUGE advantage. And it also makes it so much better that you're meeting fun, interesting people.

This scavenger hunt was loads of fun! Would definitely sign-up again. FrogQuest did a great job of setting up and organizing the event. The staff was also extremely friendly and helpful. Costumes, drinks, prizes, and making friends with a whole lot of strangers, what else could you ask for? Thanks again Chris!
