That’s part of what makes CityDays’ Austin treasure hunts the best in the city.
With us, you take charge of your Austin scavenger hunt. Walk at your own pace, take breaks whenever it’s convenient for you, and tour with whoever you want!
All you need is a smartphone, comfortable walking shoes and a great bunch of people.
Here’s how it works.
Sustainability and Environmental Impact
Our business relies on appreciating the beauty and intrigue of urban environments, so the last thing we want to do is leave trash lying around.
We don’t support littering, so we haven’t left any physical objects anywhere for you to find. Instead, we’ve made use of existing buildings, curious city quirks, sculptures, pieces of street art and even street furniture as clues.
The only stuff you’ll leave our Austin scavenger hunts with are fond memories, plenty of knowledge and potentially a place at the top of our leaderboard.
Oh, and plenty of photos too - don’t forget to send them in to us, we love seeing them and we might even reward you for your efforts…
