  Fun After School Family Activity and School Field Trips!

     Let's turn San Antonio into a giant game board! This Amazing Scavenger Quest is an interactive smart phone adventure hunt that combines the fun of the "Amazing Race" with a three-hour sightseeing tour of San Antonio, Texas - a city deep in the heart of Texas with a rich history of courage and sacrifice for freedom. Guided from any smart phone, your group will make its way among well-known and overlooked gems of the city, solving clues and completing challenges while learning local history. And, you can compete against other groups for the best score. The tour requires approximately 2.0 miles of walking. Using a smart phone as your "guide" allows your team to start when you want and determine your own pace of play. You'll start you in the center of this historic city and will take you back in time to explore the grounds of the Alamo. Your adventure will then guide you down along the River Walk and through the streets to enjoy the modern-day sights and sounds of the city while finding historic and unique hidden gems. Offered at a fixed price for a group as opposed to per person pricing, this city tour/game offers a great value if you're on a budget. (less) ... Read more
