ABC TV’s World News Now featured a segment in which correspondent Barry Mitchell followed participants on our Central Park scavenger hunt.

The Washington Post profiled two of our hunts in the feature story “Scavenging for Fun on a Big-City Hunt.” Reporter Hetty Lipscomb wrote, “Scampering up the marble steps with my team, I felt like a contestant on a reality TV series, The Amazing Race at the Smithsonian.”

Lonely Planet travel guides reports: “Go beyond walking and talking with Watson, which turns each tour into a game by making you hunt for things—be it answers to interesting questions or quirky items—as you go about your journey.”

FoxNews.com featured our Wall Street hunt in the story “Companies Opt for Offbeat Retreats.” An event coordinator for a major insurance firm said of their Watson Adventures event, “This forces you to look at the same things you always look at from a different point of view. Our group tomorrow will be more creative problem-solvers than they are today.”

New York magazine has named Watson Adventures one of the top five tours that remind you how much you still don’t know about New York, adding later in another piece, “Dashing around the city was never so much fun.” In “An Amazing Race,” New York wrote of our Grand Central Scramble: “Part of the fun in Watson’s games is the riddlelike clues….New York trivia buffs will be impressed by the level of detail in the hunt.”

Daily Candy says, “If only high-school field trips had been this much fun, we’d have spent less time figuring out whom to make out with on the bus ride back.”

Time Out New York says, “Watson Adventures brings you back to a time when clever search-and-discover hunts were cool.”

Citysearch named us the Best Tour of New York, noting that “Watson Adventures revives good, clean fun by offering a mind-body workout, bonding through teamwork, and an infusion of culture.”

The Boston Herald reported on our hunts in New England: “In Watson Adventures’ Boston scavenger hunts, the answers may be discovered in a John White Alexander painting at the Museum of Fine Arts, a frog exhibit at the New England Aquarium, or at stops along the Freedom Trail.”

Marketing guru Seth Godin, in his book 99 Cows, features Watson Adventures as one of 99 companies that are “doing something wonderful, out of the ordinary, or just plain weird,” noting that after a hunt, “you’re probably going to go to work and tell everyone what you did over the weekend.”
