Adventure Hunt for Negative User Reviews

✓ Do not buy thisMy app never worked tried to email them it wouldn’t work. No way of getting my money back no one to talk to, no numbers to call. There is no help. This is a scam. They take your money and nothing works. I am Beyond mad about this I was so excited to do this and nothing worked..TopherwinchesterVersion: 0.7.3

✓ Le RipoffPaid $10 for a an adventure hunt in Portland, Me. Upon opening, it gave me a map, a vague clue (something like “Roses are red, violets are blue, Anne has a rose, and one for you, too.”) and indicated that we were “within 2500 ft” of the destination. Maybe a local would be able to use that sparse info to locate a landmark, but not a visiting tourist who knows nothing of the area. So I clicked to get a hint…and discovered a paywall. $10 more for hints to make using the app possible? I am disgusted..NH-ScalesVersion: 0.8.0

✓ Omaha under constructionThe Omaha scavenger hunt was impossible with all of the construction going on. Couldn’t even get to the first clue. Thankfully they gave me a refund (otherwise would be 1 star)..;)(--Version: 0.8.0

✓ Never againKinda sucks that Instagram went down the day the treasure hunt started. What a waste of money.AshlenaVersion: 0.7.3

✓ Las Vegas HuntWe registered for the Las Vegas hunt. The most fun part was the hike we did at the beginning of the day. The rest of the app/ Adventure was lame. We were given clues to strip malls in a suburb of Las Vegas, not even the strip. Do NOT waste your time or money on this. We were so looking forward to participating after watching on Shark Tank but the “adventure “ was NOTHING like the promotion of these events. I would give it a zero but that’s not an option. You are better off just planning fun stuff on your own than signing up for a specific hunt..Roberto was hereVersion: 0.7.5

✓ Waste of moneyMy friend and I had a fun time completing the tasks that allow you to unlock the map, but if she didn’t have a lake house nearby, we wouldn’t have been able to do half of them. Also, once we finally unlocked the map, we would have needed to buy two $20 tickets to the zoo in order to get to the checkpoint inside, so we bailed after that. If every clue required us to pay to get in somewhere, I can’t imagine how much it would’ve cost by the end. Overall this was a waste of money unless you’ve got money to spend, and it would have been way more fun if the activities and clues were free to complete and easy for anyone to complete..Dwan MusicVersion: 0.7.3

✓ Requires $$$ to actually complete the tasksMaybe my expectations were just way off, and maybe I should have paid the $7 to view past hunts, but there was pretty much no way to even unlock the treasure map without shelling out serious money for activities. Plus where in Boston am I going to go wakeboarding and waterskiing?.Julie0731Version: 0.6.1

✓ Faulty App ruins funAbout halfway through trying to earn points to unlock the map the app froze and crashed. The result of this was the loss of our challenge list thus preventing us from going on with the hunt. We contacted support and about 2 hours later got a response to try and do basic troubleshooting that we already tried about 30 times 2 hours before. By this time the treasure had been claimed. After several emails, and another hour or so, support told us "it wouldn't have mattered anyway because the lead team was so far ahead of you, you wouldn't have won anyway." That's quality customer service, if quality means non-existant. I would never do another AdventureHunt for the remainder of my natural life! Just a waste..RandulosVersion: 0.7.5

✓ Dont do thisSucc, me and my friends were like "dude bail" immediately. Not worth time or money theres no adventure only lies. Physical incarnation of microtransactions and bad prank videos on youtube..IBSchmittyVersion: 0.7.3

✓ Not worth itI signed up with 2 other friends and on the day of the hunt we realized how limiting many of the “challenges “ were. You are at a real disadvantage if you are a smaller group or don’t know other teams . Many of the activities cost money as well ( unless you own equipment like paddle boards or kayaks ) One of my cities challenges was “ go to the pick quarry and jump off a cliff” ?!?!?! Really ? We ended up not doing it and I feel like it was a total waste of money . If this were a more a scavenger hunt I think it would be more inclusive . Don’t do this unless you have a lot of people to be on a team !!!.Eef03Version: 0.7.3

✓ Don’t waste your time or moneyApp is a piece of crap it barley works and there is no way of contacting customer service!! Save your money!!.Belleza_carameloVersion: 0.7.3

✓ Great idea but doesn’t workTampa... first clue doesn’t work!.Jorge CorderoVersion: 0.8.0

✓ Didn’t workIt was a great idea but when we got to our first location it never told us we arrive. We even payed for picture clue to make sure we were in the right place. $15 down the drain.DoublececeVersion: 0.8.0

✓ Maybe technically not a scamTook the money and won't refund it even though the "adventure" is not anything most people would want to participate in. Some ways to earn "fun points" included singing loudly to people at an airport and kissing strangers. Pretty much everything on the list was expensive or extremely time consuming and wouldn't let you earn the "20 points" you need to unlock the next stage. We expected locations where people would go to do things and fun activities and what we got was the same list of things that could be used in each of their cities. A complete waste of $50..RonMTSVersion: 0.6.0

✓ Totally Disappointed. Unusable.I signed up for Adventure Hunt in San Francisco on March 9, 2019. I was really excited because I have done similar scavenger hunts around the city before that have been a lot of fun. The morning of the hunt I woke up and was ready at 9am to view and complete tasks on the list and was totally shocked that almost all of the tasks on there could not be completed in San Francisco. The majority of them had to be done in the water, and if you know SF you know that although we are in California, water sports are not something people partake in here. It never gets warm enough and the ocean is just too cold for anyone but surfers with body suits to go in. I had seen in the videos a lot of water activities from other hunts, but was hoping that they took into consideration the location and tailored them to be appropriate for the place. The only two that were tailored for SF were walking the Golden Gate Bridge and going to Azkaban (which you have to book 3 months in advance). I reached out to Adventure Hunt right away to let them know how disappointed we were and that we could not compete and would like a full refund. They encouraged me to "get out there and have fun." I wrote back explaining that it was not as advertised and due to the types of challenges they offered we could not compete. I didn't get a reply and had to write back to them again. Finally I got a response that they will not refund me. They said they are like any other concert or sporting event where you don't get your money back. Um okay - even with sporting events and concerts, they are in locations that are appropriate for the climate and you get exactly what you pay for. Not a great comparison, Adventure Hunt. Hopefully this review helps others with their choice of trying this out so they aren't disappointed and out money..EmzuckVersion: 0.7.5

✓ Not really an adventureSo the app itself- it ok. You can't click away from it without it reloading, which was a pain, but not that big of a deal. The actual "Adventure" for which we paid $30 just for the ticket? Meh. The fun stuff was fun. My teammate and I had a blast running around doing silly things. The actual adventure part wasn't very fun. Most of the stuff they want you to do was $$, (visit a park, go paddle boarding, etc) which means you have to spend more money just to take a picture of yourself doing the thing, and since it's a race, you don't actually get to enjoy doing any of the things, you just race through them. I won't do this again, I'll just go to a park or spend the day paddle boarding..Appleberry22Version: 0.5.8

✓ TerribleGives poor clues and makes you pay for clues. Also some of them don’t work after you pay for it. Do not use.Adventure hunt is terribleVersion: 0.8.0

✓ Not worth your time or money.I should have known when I saw so many No Refund notices. We completed the Las Vegas hunt, which should have been called the Summerlin mall adventure. There was virtually nothing in Las Vegas and all of the clues were extremely boring locations. They recommend you have a car, but for this hunt it is necessary because the clues were all spread out miles apart. Everything was just extremely low effort, you are better off just searching the 5 best things to do in a city and just do those at your own pace..Bnol7Version: 0.7.5

Adventure Hunt works most of the time. If it is not working for you, we recommend you excersise some patience and retry later or contact Adventure Hunt.
