URBAN HUNT is an exhilarating upgrade to the traditional scavenger hunt! Teams work together to solve clues, compete in challenges, and think outside the box to finish first.

How It’s Played

URBAN HUNT is a thrilling and innovative scavenger hunt where teams work together to solve puzzles and complete a series of challenges. In this game, teams receive a clue sheet that takes them on an adventure throughout a city or town. It is up to each team to solve the clues on their own or with the help of family and friends, to successfully complete mental and physical challenges, and to navigate their own route. Then it’s a race to the finish line!

Teams can solve the clues by using their own navigational aids, by calling family and friends, or by asking strangers for assistance. Many racers have helpers at computers that can look up information on the internet and help them over the phone. If teams get completely stuck, they can call roadside assistance to get help from the URBAN HUNT organizers, but will receive time penalties. Teams must only travel by foot or public transportation, including the metro, subways, and buses.

At clue destinations, teams complete challenges. Challenges may range from taking a team picture at a location, solving a specific answer to a question, and completing mental or physical tasks. Once teams believe they have successfully completed all of the clues and challenges, they must travel to the designated Finish Line to have their answers checked by the URBAN HUNT organizers. The first team to cross the Finish Line with the most amount of accumulated points and fastest time is crowned the winning team of URBAN HUNT.

AMAZING!!! After participating in my first Reality Rush game, I’m now addicted!!! And everytime, the organizers always know how to challenge me. It’s the closest thing to competing in a reality-TV competition. If you’re thinking about doing it, I guarantee, it’s the best way to spend an afternoon!

My college BFF and I participated in the Urban Hunt. It was definitely one of the most fun experiences I have ever had! The game was well-organized and I saw parts of LA I had never seen before. We had a lot of fun sharing “war stories” with our fellow racers over margaritas. I would DEFINITELY do it again!

And I thought I knew Los Angeles!!! The Urban Hunt that I did with Reality Rush was truly an experience. It was well organized and totally unique. I saw so many new parts of LA and the whole time I was full of energy. Even though we came in 46th place I still felt like a winner!! I would definitely do it again.

Justin planned an awesome night of scavenger hunt chaos in Hollywood for my boss’s birthday party. He was so kind and flexible in letting us start late in the evening, which is why we ultimately picked him over the competition. It was hilarious to see everyone get so competitive and we all had a great time.

If you love scavenger hunts, this is definitely a pretty fun way to spend an afternoon and get to explore your city as well! It’s a lot of fun seeing all the great costume ideas, hanging out and chatting with people, and then doing all the silly things they have you do on the actual hunt.

My wife and I have done this twice — downtown and Hollywood — and it’s been a blast! Very well organized; fun, clever clues and challenges; and a great way to explore the city. We tried a different scavenger hunt in Pasadena and it was nowhere as good as Reality Rush.
