The Best Urban Scavenger Hunt in Boston
No lines, no waiting around, no hassle.
That’s part of what makes CityDays’ Boston treasure hunts the best in the city.
We’ve created a model that allows you to take charge of your Boston scavenger hunt. This ensures that you can walk at your own pace, take breaks whenever it’s convenient for you, and tour with whoever you want! Here’s how it works.
Instead of inviting ourselves along, we take the backseat. All you need is a good pair of walking shoes, a fully charged phone, and a sense of adventure.
We recognize that this is your day out - not ours. So it’s up to you how it plays out: compete for first place on our leaderboard or take your time and really soak up the sights. Either way, we’re only a text message away if you get stuck.
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 Boston scavenger hunts with are fond memories, plenty of knowledge and potentially a place at the top of our leaderboard.
Oh, and plenty of pics too - don’t forget to send them in to us, we love seeing them and we might even reward you for your efforts…
