Best tour company in Guatemala
After researching various touring companies, we are pleased to have selected Trek Guatemala. The team was highly responsive and professional, and our guide, Angela, was exceptionally attentive, wonderful, and honest. We would certainly recommend both Angela and the Trek Guatemala team, as this experience is one we will cherish forever.

Guatemala Family Trip
Mysteries of Antigua Scavenger hunt/tour: This was so much fun and well worth the price. You get to tour Antigua, see the sites as well as gain a lil knowledgeof it history. Our group had so much fun! Thank you.

A fun and joyful hunt in a limited radius
This is an excellent scavenger hunt with escape room qualities. If you are familiar with Antigua it's fairly easy to find the locations (and it says explicitly where to go, lol). The puzzles were fun, engaging and I loved the satchel of stuff that we used in the solves. Admission was almost $20 us and worth it. We did the hunt slowly, stopping to shop, bring back souvenirs to our hotel and eat lunch. I think someone could easily do it in 2 hours. The staff were laid back. The worker at the end was excited with us which was fun.

Super fun game & exploration of the town
I've done Escape Rooms, but never a "Scavenger Hunt" -- but now I'm a fan! The puzzles were just the right level for our group... challenging but doable (sometimes needing the hints), and took 2.5 hours. If you like puzzles and escape rooms, you'll like this! The puzzles (with one exception) were easy to find and follow, and took us to really cool places in a ~5 block area -- including some places that had been on my list to visit but hadn't made it to yet, and some places I would never have found otherwise. Overall a super fun way to explore the town and indulge my inner gamer with friends.

Best and fun way to know Antigua
We did it in the day we arrived in Antigua, just perfect to get to know a few spots and more about Antigua. The game is super fun and clever. To book it was easy and fast. You walk all over the City looking for clues to complete the "case". I recomend for friends, famílias, couples. We loved it
Response from the operator: Thank you, Alessandra! We're so glad you found the experience fun and engaging. Yes, it's a great "first day in Antigua experience"! Your recommendation means a lot and we appreciate you sharing your thoughts!

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mysteries of Antigua Interactive Treasure Hunt: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Antigua.
How much does Mysteries of Antigua Interactive Treasure Hunt cost?
+
Prices start at $25 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Antigua usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mysteries of Antigua Interactive Treasure Hunt take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Antigua is not rushed.
Is Mysteries of Antigua Interactive Treasure Hunt worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 36 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Antigua, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mysteries of Antigua Interactive Treasure Hunt?
+
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 Mysteries of Antigua Interactive Treasure Hunt suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mysteries of Antigua Interactive Treasure Hunt?
+
Around 13 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 Antigua 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 Antigua and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mysteries of Antigua Interactive Treasure Hunt 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 Antigua 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 Antigua?
+
On Outty we rank every Antigua experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Coffee and Gastronomic Bike Tour in Antigua, Antigua ATV Mountain Adventure, Antigua ATV Sunset 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 Antigua?
+
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 Antigua?
+
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.
