Too hard for young ages & Disappointing
I bought this activity because I was looking for something to do with my 12 year old son. The questions were obscure and hard to find, and once you found the "location" you had to do a second step that only allowed 3 guesses. By the time we got to the 3rd question, we had already skipped the first two. For example: one of the questions said to go between 2nd and 3rd street and find a sign that said "The ________alley from 1962" (or something similar). Once you found the sign (which we never did) you were to take that word (or words) and see how many words you could make out of that word without scrambling the letters. The answer was a number, and it was fill in the box, not multiple choice. Since we couldn't find the sign, we had no idea what the word was to begin with. It would have been perfect if we were given areas to go to and find something to take a picture of and upload. That's more of what we were looking for. We were NOT familiar with Memphis at all, so if you are looking for something to do in Memphis, but you have never been there before, I do NOT recommend this activity.
Response from the operator: Sorry you did not enjoy your Quest. It clearly was not the type of activity you were looking for in Memphis. We have families of all ages playing our Quests and they find the challenges fun and the directions easy to follow. Again though, I do understand that if you were looking for a more basic tour of the city or easier take a picture with a monument style scavenger hunt… our Quests would not be right for you.

Playful fun starting and ending at The Peabody Hotel.
I didn’t have any idea of how long the hunt would be, at all. I think that it would have been helpful to have some sort of idea. We had such a great time exploring!

Lots of fun!
Must do. Really enjoyed the history and being taken by all the landmarks. Maybe not so many questions about hard rock and more about some of the other stuff.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the review on your Memphis Quest. Glad you had a great time on the adventure

High dollar phone app
This was not worth the charge for me and my friend bump any means. It was complicated to download. We showed up at the Peabody thinking this tour company would be there and it’s a company in California. Luckily a Valet driver assisted us. If you don’t know the city and only paid for 4 hour parking it will be completely stressful. We only got to question #5 and left. I would have had a better time simply touring the area on my own and saved the high price to simply download a phone app
Response from the operator: Sorry you did not have fun on the Quest. It seems like you were not aware of the format of the game and how it would work. We believe all is explained on our website where you signed in. Our 2000+ reviews on Trustpilot tell a different story but we understand everyone may have different expectations.

Fun!!
What a fun way to see Memphis and learn about Memphis. We’ve been to Memphis before but learned a lot and a fun doing it.
Response from the operator: Glad you had a great time exploring the city. So many great things to see while having fun with our challenges and your team.

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Memphis Scavenger Hunt Adventure: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Memphis.
How much does Memphis Scavenger Hunt Adventure cost?
+
Prices start at $49 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Memphis usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Memphis Scavenger Hunt Adventure take?
+
Plan for about 2.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Memphis is not rushed.
Is Memphis Scavenger Hunt Adventure worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.4/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Memphis, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Memphis Scavenger Hunt Adventure?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Memphis Scavenger Hunt Adventure suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Memphis Scavenger Hunt Adventure?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Memphis can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Memphis and add a light layer if any part of the 2.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Memphis Scavenger Hunt Adventure start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Memphis within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Memphis?
+
Memphis is music and food: Graceland with VIP access tiers, Sun Studio and Stax, Beale Street blues crawls, National Civil Rights Museum visits and barbecue tours through the pits. Graceland ticket tiers are confusing, so we weight clear inclusions. On Outty we rank every Memphis experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Memphis Mojo Bus Tour, Taste of Downtown Memphis Food Tour, Memphis Signature Guided Brewery Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Memphis?
+
March to May and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Memphis?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
