I've done three of their tours, the one at Museum of Fine Arts (why does the boy mummy wear gold lipstick?) the one throughout Backbay and the one throughout the North End. As a Boston native, this made what i thought I already knew, new. It was, in 2 instances. a fun competition between business colleagues, and in the 3rd a fun day out with my grown niece. I highly recommend, great fun! read more

I've been using CCA Transport for years now and I have never, ever had a problem. I use JK Quality most often and they are always on time. Today I had a truly lovely talk with CCA Teansport. First of all, Diane D (I asked for her name so I could write a review) was friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, and up to the task of me changing my mind about when I wanted to depart about four times in a row. She booked four rides for me within minutes and then I asked her if there was any chance CCA had airport transportation. I have tickets for two concerts this week in Virginia, and I was so hoping to go because the singer on tour will likely never tour again, but I was having a great deal of difficulty getting a ride into Boston Logan. Diane was so happy to help and got me a ride immediately. I have recently been dealing with a great deal of pain and I haven't been treated very well , especially in hospitals, by some of the doctors and nurses. I was just released from the hospital this past Wednesday. To talk to someone like Diane today, who made me feel like a real person rather than another number, was truly heartening. It was everything I needed. I'd like to thank her from the bottom of my heart. And thanks to CCA, for hiring someone so skilled in customer service. read more

I was contacted by Tara who had helped me set up the hunt at the Museum of Science. She was very understanding and apologetic about our hunt experience. She took notes on which clues were in darkened and restricted areas during live shows and promised to look into these clues. She expressed that they had not heard of these problems as well as difficulties getting to clues due to crowds during the weekends. I still suggest not doing this hunt during busy museum times, and also stick to smaller teams (we had 6 team members) for more interaction and teamwork in this noisy environment. Tara did offer a voucher for a team to join a public hunt, which helps to take the sting out of $1000 I spent. read more

The Twisted Science Scavenger Hunt was a great addition to our first company offsite. The 90 minutes went by so fast! There were clever questions, bonus challenges and a lot of laughs. The online tool was very easy to follow. Schanaya was a fantastic host. I highly recommend Watson Adventures. read more

We had a blast doing the Old Boston scavenger hunt! Tara and her team were great to work with beforehand. Our hunt host, Steven, was excellent! He was fun, energetic, and friendly. He really helped with the surprise for the birthday guest! The clues were just the right amount of challenging and showed off some cool Boston history! We got a good amount of steps in so people should follow the advice to dress comfortably, wear good shoes, and not carry anything heavy. Even though we walked a lot, we didn't go too far off. We are excited to do another one soon! read more

Team Old North Church! Hunting and gathering! Gotta get my 5 points! #watsonadventures read more

Watson Adventures Scavenger Hunts - Scavenger Hunts Near Me

See all

We worked with Watson Adventures at the Harvard Natural History Museum as part of a work retreat. I very much enjoyed my time, it took us throughout the museum, and we had a super fun time finding all the clues. It's a good way to bond as a group, for sure! They encourage you to be creative and fun, with social media options, team naming, and bonus challenges. Our guide was fun and enthusiastic! They keep it current, as well, so it includes fun references to modern cultural figures, etc. I would recommend this very much as a group bonding opportunity. I wouldn't use it as a FIRST trip to a museum, as it's super fast, and you don't get to linger on things you may particularly like, or wander off to something that looks cool, but highly recommend otherwise. I haven't been outside of work, and I'm keen to try one in another scenario with my husband. read more

Did this at the Museum of Science for our work holiday party. It was so fun! It was just the right amount of challenging so that the answers weren't obvious, but also not IMPOSSIBLE, as long as you kept trying and were persistent. Highly recommend for group outings, it's a blast! And you get to hang around the Museum of Science after you are done as well, to further enjoy the different exhibits. read more

This was incredibly fun! My boyfriend and I did the Murder Mystery in the Museum of Fine Art. We had 2 hours to follow directions to different rooms in the museum and use a clue to find a specific piece of art. The answer to the clue was usually obvious in the art or in the description. No prior art history knowledge needed! Each team was staggered so we weren't all rushing to the same room at the same time. Only about twice did we encounter another team during the hunt. This scavenger hunt was easy and fun and made me read about the art much more than I would have normally. I definitely got more out of this 2 hour event than if I browsed on my own. Our tickets allowed us to stay in the museum afterwards as well and are good for another visit within 10 days! I had a great time and will look this company up next time I am in Boston. Expand to Raleigh please! We have lots of museums! read more

I loved this adventure. My friend and I wanted to learn more about Cambridge but rather than wander aimlessly, we thought a walking tour with a twist would entertain us. This was perfect. We met our competition and the administrator of the hunt in a small park in Harvard Square. We were given a list of questions and told to be back in two hours. We all had the same questions but started at different points along the route so we did not follow each other. That was perfect. We took our time. Restaurants are part of the clues so we had to buy food and eat it and take pictures of each answer we found. As one would expect, we found a lot more than we planned... An all underwear frat party in full swing and two brides on their way to slaughter... Um... I mean the alter. So beautiful. The writer of the clues is witty and incorporates some deep Cambridge history into the game. Impossible not to.. It's practically the oldest city in the country. Spending time and having lunch in Harvard yard was a highlight for me. Just being surrounded by such history and brilliance was awe striking. Many people loved seeing us trying to find our answers and wanted to join us on our quest it seemed. We loved talking with them and a few did really help us.. Oops.. I think we cheated. It is something I look forward to doing again. Put it on your bucket list for sure. read more

Fantastic company! We hired them to create an adventure for our daughter's 14th birthday. She loves the game 'clue' and wanted a clue like adventure with 12-14 friends. They created an amazing murder mystery at the Museum of Fine Arts. Working with them was a dream, they were totally professional and enthusiastic about our party. All of the kids started out doubting it would be fun, we were worried. By the time we arrived and met our fantastic game facilitator,Addison, we knew it was going to be fun. The game was amazing, totally engaged the teens and at one point they were telling me that the Museum is 'actually a cooler place' than they'd thought. They all took the time to write rave reviews of the adventure. We will plan more adventures with this company!!! read more

Nicely done! The scavenger hunt was tough enough to be interesting for all. If you are thinking about it for your group...just do it. You will really remember the experience. read more

Watson definitely deserves a few more reviews! The first Watson adventure I did was a Valentine's Day themed one at the MFA. The theme was naked people, but the competitors were clothed. My guy and I were teamed up with some strangers. I'm fine with that, but if you like to keep to your own, then make sure you bring 4-6 people. The host of the event was friendly and high energy and did a great job. The questions were right in the sweet spot: they didn't insult you, but didn't make you feel like a dum-dum either. Anyway, our team won, so obviously I became a fan. The next adventure I did was in NYC at the National History Museum-- this was one even better because we felt like kids running around that enormous place. We even convinced one of our group--a working actress and dear friend-- to apply to be one of the adventure leaders to make cash on the side. And now she is! A good time had by all. read more

Had a group of 18....and HAD A BLAST!!!! Our group was a mix of 5 countries and we enjoyed the time together, the art and the time together, a ton. Highly recommend it! read more

Amazing activity. My family has done a bunch of these and enjoyed all of them. The munch around philly was great, and the ghosts of Greenwich was cool, but our favorite was the murder at the met. The time put into the idea really shows and the questions are really detailed. The find and make sheet was interesting you had to find items and take pictures of them and send them into a website. Overall we always have a great time and I highly recommend. read more

Fabulous time! Fun was had by all and Watson Adventures made sure of it - they arranged a great scavenger hunt/grab and go for our 29 guests for a surprise 50th birthday party for my husband. We had a blast as we ran through the streets of Boston. Shannon was great and kept everyone excited and having fun. They were accommodating as our party was a little late arriving in Boston due to traffic, and extended the hunt time on the other end. Great company - easy to work with and made the day memorable! read more

We participated in a Watson Adventures scavenger hunt that was wedding related for a bachelorette party. The contact leading up to the hunt was promt and always provided the information that we were looking for. We even had to relocate our hunt the day before due to some unforeseen circumstances and they made the change without hesitation and without a hitch. Our host was excellent. He was very engaging and we had a great time. I would definitely recommend this company if you are looking to do a fun scavenger hunt! read more

Shameless pandering is highly recommended. Rob and Shawn know what I'm talking about. (They rock)
