Turn Your Next Company Outing into an Adventure—with a Dash of Culture

Watson Adventures corporate scavenger hunts use witty, tricky questions in fast-paced games that bring out the best in a city—and the best in you and your teammates. Our team-building hunts have been acclaimed by ABC News, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Herald, the Chicago Tribune, the Philadelphia Inquirer, and numerous other media outlets. Since 1999, more than 150,000 hunters have gone on our hunts from more than 1,000 prestigious companies. Contact us for a quote.

How corporate scavenger hunts work

In museums, historic neighborhoods, and other locations, hunters compete to answer questions in hunts designed to:

  • get people relaxed, laughing and having fun
  • foster teamwork and togetherness in a dynamic new way
  • introduce people to fascinating—and often overlooked—places
  • lead to an exciting gathering over drinks after the hunt, which we can help you set up
  • leave you with more money to spend on that party

You’re not hunting for things (put back that Ming vase!) but for answers to tricky and humorous questions about the intriguing places and objects you discover. No previous knowledge is necessary—you just need a sharp mind and comfortable shoes. The game is like a walking tour spiked with caffeine. The team from your company that answers the most questions correctly wins. Typically the game lasts two hours (with about half an hour more for set-up and post-hunt scoring), but the length can be customized to meet your needs.

Build teamwork while boosting morale-through fun

The questions emphasize nimble thinking and, above all, teamwork. They’re crafted to bring out the various skills of each member of your team. A person who’s good at seeing the big picture will get one answer, a teammate who’s good with wordplay will get the next, and someone who is good at navigating may excel at getting the team from place to place. The best teams quickly learn that they must use the strengths of everyone in the group.

REVEALED: The most fun and fascinating secrets in Hollywood!

Be part of the renaissance of the historic heart of the movie industry, centering on Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Avenue. You’ll uncover the hidden history and secret sights at such places as the Chinese, Egyptian, and El Capitan theaters, the Roosevelt Hotel (scene of the first Academy Awards ceremony), Hollywood & Highland shopping mall, the new Kodak Theater, and of course the many names honored on the Walk of Fame. You’ll encounter Snow White at a coffee shop, Robin Hood, a shocking Guinness Record holder, an over-laundered John Wayne, Charlie Chaplin, Austin Powers, Marilyn Monroe, Bugs Bunny, Jimmy Kimmel, and many more.

Your team will tackle such questions as...

• For costumes and props fans, here’s where you see ’em
But fear is a Factor outside this museum.
See Max use a gadget for some torturous task
Nearby, what sick villain has dropped off his mask?
Answer: There’s an original Hannibal Lecter mask in the window of the Max Factor Museum.

• In 1929 Oscar made his debut
At a place named for 26, not 32.
Outside, what lady driver left her stamp
By nearly running over a tramp?
Answer: Janet, the name on a license plate of a car about to hit Charlie Chaplin on a plaque outside the Roosevelt Hotel, named after the 26th president, Theodore, and not the 32nd, Franklin D.

• A bygone star must’ve drawn oohs and ahs
When he bent down and got cement up his schnoz
You’d think this would be awful for his sinuses
How many does he wish he had, plus or minus this?
Answer: Jimmy Durante wrote “I wish I had a million of ’em!” beside the imprint of his famously large nose outside Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.

Please note that we left out clues and directions in the questions above. The questions are designed so that you can answer them only when you are in the right spot and looking at the right thing. (Sorry, Googlers!) You don’t need any previous knowledge to triumph—you just need good teamwork and comfortable shoes!

By turns classic, campy, and kitsch, this hunt has something for everyone. The hunt is available in 90-minute and two-hour versions. You can add Team Photo Challenges to the hunt for added team-building creativity—and photo souvenirs to take home. Contact us for more information and to get in the game!
