A fun linear-style scavenger hunt (similar to The Amazing Race) where solving one clue or puzzle will lead you to your next in a foot race around a portion of Avalon. Some very memorable, special, and one-of-a-kind tasks and challenges sprinkled among more common puzzles. A unique way to experience parts of Catalina Island. Celebratory drinks and snacks are included at the finish line, and the guides always do a great job of creating a supportive, yet competitive environment amongst teams. This race is about half the length of the Santa Monica or LA options from this company, but still felt full and complete.
Gameplay
Puzzles were balanced - not too simple, and not overly complicated. One puzzle towards the very beginning felt incomplete which led most teams to overthink it. Huge variety of puzzle types - you won’t be doing the same thing twice.
Atmosphere
All puzzles made you feel like you were experiencing Catalina Island like a local and visitor alike.
