Looking for a way to turn Balboa Park into a giant game board? Urban Adventure Quest has created an interactive scavenger hunt that combines the fun of the Amazing Race with a three-hour sightseeing tour of Balboa Park in San Diego. Guided from any smart phone, groups make their way among well-known and overlooked gems of the city, solving clues and completing challenges while learning local history. The adventure begins in the heart of the Park at the Veterans Museum and leads you on a cultural journey of discovery as you visit iconic art, impressive architecture, historic theaters and hidden gardens. The tour requires approximately 2 miles of walking and generally takes between 2-3 hours to complete. Using a smartphone as “the guide” allows participants to start when they want and determine their own pace of play. Stop for an ice cream in the park or enjoy the museums and gardens… why not, it’s your schedule? Offered at a fixed price for a group vs. per person pricing.

From: $0.00

Q: Is there a limit on how many people can join the scavenger hunt? I'm thinking about bringing my family!

A: Yes! You can have a team of 2-5 people for the scavenger hunt. If your family is larger, you might want to split into multiple teams. It’s super fun to compete against each other! Just keep in mind the pace; you can always meet up at the end to share stories.

A: Urban Adventure Quest's scavenger hunt is designed to be flexible, so you can start whenever you want! If the weather looks bad, you can always reschedule to a later date. Just check their policy when you book to make sure you understand the details on rescheduling.

Q: How strenuous is the walking? I'm not in the best shape.

A: The scavenger hunt involves about 2 miles of walking, which is pretty manageable for most people. You can set your own pace and take breaks whenever you need. There are plenty of benches and spots to relax in Balboa Park, so don’t worry too much about keeping up!

Just did the Balboa Park Scavenger Hunt and it was awesome!

I went on the scavenger hunt last weekend with my friends, and we had a blast! The clues were fun and surprisingly challenging. The cool part was discovering hidden gems in the park that we would’ve missed otherwise. Walking about 2 miles felt like nothing since we could go at our own pace. Definitely recommend it for a group outing!

Thinking of giving the scavenger hunt as a gift. Any thoughts?

I want to surprise my sister with this scavenger hunt for her birthday. She loves exploring new places! Has anyone done it? Any tips on what to bring?
