    Overpriced, but fun if you put in effort (and $$)

    Shannon_W, Nov 2024
    I think this is overpriced for what it is. You will receive some slides with different challenges on them that you will text pics/videos through WhatsApp to the "host" (who you never really see, just a stock photo/headshot) There is no map or route, so it was a lot of back and forth. I don't understand why you would need to pay for each participant, especially when there is no incentive or prize. You don't get anything at any of the stops listed, so you have to spend more money to really get the full experience. My friend and I were active in the chat/did challenges because we wanted to make the most of this. I liked that we went to places we might not have otherwise. I do think you should receive a small prize or at least a voucher for a beverage at the meeting place or something like that.

    So much laughter, so much...

    So much laughter, so much fun! We had a great time and recommend this for any group! Learned about Galena, and had fun while doing it.

    Waste of money

    Sue_H, Nov 2022
    My friends and I would never pay money for this activity again or recommend this to anyone. It wasn’t fun or what we expected at all. If you could refund the$72 that would be great.

    Response from Host, Dec 2022

    We have many photos of all of you clearly enjoying yourselves. You were very kind to our host throughout and at no time did we hear from you or observe any issues or problems at all. I internally reviewed your entire hunt and can see where one of our top hosts worked hard to engage, motivate, challenge and get to know your team well. Did you read the listing prior to booking? The many photos you sent us look like you are all having maniacal fun, in fact. Please contact to help us understand what your dissatisfaction was about. We would love to hear what is was you were expecting exactly if you had read our listing. This isn’t the typical feedback we receive form our guests, but we would be willing to invite you back for free next time, even so. Your satisfaction is extremely important to us!
