    1. Palo Alto Scavenger Hunt with interactive live host

    5.0· 2 reviews· 2 hours

    Two to three hours of team-based scavenging through Palo Alto, guided by a live host via your phone, with clues related to local art and history.

    Spending a few hours outdoors in Palo Alto on a lovely spring day was truly enjoyable. The scavenger hunt led us through the city center, allowing us to explore unique places we likely wouldn't have visited otherwise, like a rug store, a British pub, and a vintage clothing boutique. Trisha was an excellent guide, encouraging us at each turn. You earn points for each task completed and can track your score on the leaderboard.
