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.

We had a blast for our kiddo's 13th birthday party! The photo assignments were so funny and the kids had a great time romping around the neighborhood. Chris and his team were excellent communicators and helped make sure every detail was covered. Totally recommend this company and experience!

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.

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 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!

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!
