Fun Around the Riverwalk!

So much fun to see the city and learn about the history. We had a ball, and loved visiting sights we had not known of. I will be repeating this quest with visitors to the city, and I will join the hunt in Key West later this year!

Response from the operator: Great to hear you had a blast in San Antionio on the Quest. Such a great area for history and fun down by the riverwalk while solving fun challenges as a group.

San Antonio Sleuths

I and my two teenage grandkids found ourselves at the starting point and started our scavenger adventure. Our overall thoughts were 1) Once you found the correct place to be, the hunting for the specific listed treasures and items was fun. 2) We found getting to the different listed places to be frustrating. We got lost a lot. We were wondering if placing "pins" on a interactive map (google?) Would facilitate a faster ability to navigate to the next place. Afterall, the fun of the hunt is being at a place where the hints will guide us to success. Not wandering around the City quite often taking the wrong turn. It is important to know that this is not for anyone who has any "walking problems!" You cover some distance.

Response from the operator: Sorry that you had issues with finding the locations. That is actually a surprise to us as we provide detail directions and try to make the puzzles the only challenging aspect of the game. We simply do not get this feedback regarding the directions but understand that a city can be challenging to navigate at times.

Disappointed

It was disappointing that many questions were unanswerable due to many obstacles- construction, closed elevators due to remodeling, closed church and so forth- see pics- these are just two of the problems- the online game needs to stay up to date on what’s going on as it was a run around - I feel like a refund should be given-

Response from the operator: We always approve refunds with our money back guarantee. We were just in San Antonio and made changes to account for the construction.

San Antonio spring break

Great way to learn a new city. Was harder than we thought. Didn’t realize case sensitivity at first.

Great date night!

Great scavenger hunt! We went for a date night and loved it! We were able to see places that we wouldn't normally see or go to. Loved working as a team so navigate throughout the town and solve the clues.

Response from the operator: Glad you had a great time on your date adventure. I hope you will give us a try in some of our other cities

San Antonio Scavenger Hunt Adventure: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Antonio.

How much does San Antonio 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 San Antonio usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does San Antonio Scavenger Hunt Adventure 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 San Antonio is not rushed.

Is San Antonio Scavenger Hunt Adventure worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 18 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Antonio, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule San Antonio 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 San Antonio Scavenger Hunt Adventure 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 San Antonio Scavenger Hunt Adventure?

+

Around 6 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 San Antonio 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 San Antonio and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does San Antonio 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 San Antonio 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 San Antonio?

+

San Antonio runs River Walk cruises and dinner tours, Alamo and mission trail history walks, ghost tours through the old quarter, and Hill Country wine and cave trips. Mission tours vary in whether they cover all five UNESCO sites. On Outty we rank every San Antonio experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Escape Game San Antonio: Epic 60-Minute Adventures at The Rim, Walking Tour Along the San Antonio Riverwalk And Around Downtown, San Antonio Haunted Ghost Bus 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 San Antonio?

+

March to May and October 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 San Antonio?

+

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.
