My company hired Treasure Hunts Hawaii (THH) for roughly a 2-hour treasure hunt. Based on Yelp…read morereviews, THH seemed like a good choice and a lot of the employees were looking forward to participating in the hunt. Keep in mind, the company I work at has a little less than 60 people coming to this activity held at a beach park. THH was pricey, so we had high expectations. I know, for me, I thought it would be a hunt filled with tough clues (the type that can really stump you), running around with a sense or urgency, different paths for the different groups, and worth the amount we spent. The day of the hunt came and everyone was super excited to see what we would end up doing. There were two people from THH that set up the area with clues and would give us instructions on the actual hunt. It may be due to my job, but I wish they gave us the instructions BEFORE the hunt to prepare and we could become familiar with the instructions without worrying about being behind other groups because we were busy reading the rules of the game. Anyway, I remember distinctly that we were told that groups were given different clues and, thus, different paths, since we had more than ten groups participating. There were three parts to the hunt - the actual treasure hunt, scavenger hunt, and trivia. The hunt was fun to do, but the hunt did not meet expectations and I felt that we could have done the hunt ourselves. The reasons for the low review: - all the groups had the same clues, so we had the same path. Read: it could have been follow the leader - one group figures out the path/clues and everyone else follows. - the clues weren't that difficult to decipher - one clue was wrong (quick math question - what is 3 to the power of 0...it's not 0) - the scavenger hunt could have been explained a bit more or to be consistent with applying the rules. For example, we were asked to bring a rainbow. Keep in mind, unless it is stated, it cannot be a picture or video. I found out that points were given for a picture of a rainbow. Overall, the one star is because the company's services were expensive and that set a level of expectation that they didn't meet.

My company recently used Treasure Hunts Hawaii to plan and coordinate a team building…read morescavenger/trasure hunt. There were appx 60 of us at Magic Island Beach Park. Two individuals from THH came to start the hunt. The hunt consisted of a trivia portion, scavenger hunt and the actual hunt. They were not the best communicators and many of the teams were unsure as how to proceed; it was kinda like here are the clues and here is the trivia sheet...go and do it. They suggested that a good strategy would be to split up.....I thought this was supposed to be team building. For the most part the trivia was pretty easy as you could use your phone, etc and seemed to just be a pointless time filler. The scavenger hunt was mediocre at best.. There were also loopholes ie you could just go and buy many of the items on the list...stickers/clothing items etc. The treasure hunt was also nothing special. Most of the clues/items were just spread out over a large distance. If it was in a smaller area all the teams would have probably finished in 10 minutes. Most of them involved you solving some type of basic riddle etc for a clue then walking to the next area. Overall, after reading the positive reviews on Yelp, myself, along with the many of the participants (we took a survey) were disappointed with the overall experience. Honestly, using google and some common sense most anyone could have done what THH did and for much less money...our fee came out to over $2,100 for 2 hours of 'fun'!!!!! -- that didn't even include the cost for prizes for the wining teams etc. all of which we had to provide ourselves. If you are looking for a good group/business activity I suggest you look elsewhere.

After much searching, we found Exquisite Vibes to be the best choice. I had booked with them a full year before the wedding date. Throughout the year, there was clear communication about what we wanted and how they could assist us achieve it. They had everything planned out so easily, including a music questionnaire to assist us choose songs for every activity. When the wedding day arrived, they made us feel very at ease. Exquisite Vibes performed a "surprise lion dance" for our visitors, complete with small dragons for our family to roam around. I'd never heard so many people laughing and cheering so loudly in one room. The music was fantastic, and I'd never seen my entire family dance so hard in one room before.

From the very beginning, Spike set the tone with his warm and genuine demeanor, making us feel completely at ease and confident that our vision was in the best hands. The communication throughout the entire planning process was outstanding -- timely, clear, and always reassuring -- which made such a difference while planning a Hawaii wedding all the way from the east coast. On the big day, everything was executed flawlessly. The ceremony was beautifully timed, the music perfectly matched each moment, and the reception was seamless from start to finish. Spike was not only professional but also witty, charismatic, and so engaging with our guests -- he kept the energy high all night and made everyone feel part of the celebration. The addition of uplighting also added the perfect ambiance, elevating the entire experience into something magical. Our guests are still raving about how much fun they had with the addition of karaoke to our reception which is something we did not see many entertainment teams offering while we were in our research stage. It was truly the highlight of everyone's evening. Our family and friends have said we had one of the best weddings they've ever attended and we know that's thanks in large part to this amazing team. If you're looking for a DJ, Emcee, and lighting crew who combine professionalism with personality and deliver above and beyond, look no further -- Exquisite Vibes truly is the best!

"Not an Escape Room, Just a Frustrating Candy Hunt"…read more I've done a lot of escape rooms, and I can confidently say this was the worst one I've ever experienced. We booked "Sadie's Sweet Shop" at Room with a Clue expecting a fun, candy-themed escape challenge. Instead, we got a poorly designed scavenger hunt with no story, no urgency, and no objective beyond collecting candy. There is no escape element whatsoever--you're not solving puzzles to get out or to advance a storyline. You're just wandering the room trying to figure out what random combination of props might unlock another piece of candy. It felt like the creator designed puzzles purely for their own amusement, not for the enjoyment of players. Many of the puzzles were confusing not because they were hard, but because they were disconnected, self-indulgent, and illogical. To make things worse, the room was filled with red herrings--not clever misdirections, just pointless distractions that wasted time and made the experience frustrating instead of fun. The whole game lacked cohesion. There was no narrative thread tying things together, no build-up, no satisfying payoff. Just a cluttered space full of unrelated tasks. It felt like a rough draft of an escape room, not something worth charging admission for. Escape room fans: skip this one. Honolulu has much better options. Save your time and money

So fun!!! Our…read moreescape room theme was Sushi, and we had to collect as many Shoyu packets as we could within 50 minutes. You can earn Shoyu packets by cracking codes, solving riddles, and answering triva correctly. To be honest, I did not think it was going to be super challenging, but compared to the mainland chain escape rooms, I would say it's about a 6 considering you want to "breakout" AND beat the other teams that have set records for collecting the most Shoyu packets. Plus, since they only offer one breakout room, they probably can't make it too difficult. I LOVED that our administrator was just as excited and happy to be there as we were. I wish I took more photos of the inside, but pls check it out because they change the theme every quarter or so. Can't wait to try the Christmas themed one that she (the manager/owner?) was telling us about!

This experience has given me the opportunity to live a small dream I've had without all the worry of losing money and all the pressure of experienced gamblers. You see, my parents, like any other person in Hawaii, love Vegas. I however would rather spend my money traveling to anywhere BUT Vegas; "why go to Vegas when I can go to Korea/Greece/Japan?" is my mindset. But I love my parents, and it would be great to one day share a table with my dad, JLV made it possible. My dad gets to satisfy his gambling itch, while I don't lose money in the process. Also, I already know who I'm booking for entertainment for his and my mom's next birthday party, anniversary, etc. The dealers who run the tables are professional and a lot of fun. Like I said, I've experienced this three times, two family parties and one company party. Every time, the dealers have delivered and added to the atmosphere. Although, they do break character every now and then to help newbies, which I really appreciate! My husband also doesn't gamble but his friends love to play roulette. Since there was a roulette table my husband decided to practice but had no idea what he was doing. Eventually the dealer got wind of this and took his time explaining how to play and what to do to my husband. If I could give one tip: 90 minutes of play is NOT ENOUGH. It went by so fast! Do yourself and your guests a favor and invest in more play time. I truly believe it's worth it and overall worth it to book JLV to bring the ninth island to your next event.

From the ceremony to the reception, they brought incredible energy and professionalism that kept the day running flawlessly. Their MC skills were phenomenal--they had the perfect balance of being engaging and entertaining while keeping everything on track, and they added a touch of local flair that made the event feel so special. DJ Miller made the planning process seamless by providing a digital song/media planner before the wedding, where we could list all our must-play songs. They played every single one we asked for, which made the night feel so personalized and meaningful. Their pricing was amazing, especially considering the exceptional service provided. Plus, they went above and beyond by driving all the way to the opposite side of the island for us. Talk about dedication! The photobooth was such a hit with our guests, and the fact that they provided a digital gallery of all the pictures afterward was a lifesaver! We loved being able to relive those fun moments so easily. I have a hard time believing their negative reviews on here are actually based on service - it appears they happened over the pandemic when the event industry was itself a mess (understandable for an unprecedented global pandemic). My advice... don't pay too much attention to those. If you're looking for a DJ and photobooth service that will make your event unforgettable, do yourself a favor and book DJ Miller. They are worth every penny and then some!
