Announcing Haumea's Quest Photo / Video Scavenger Hunt Game
Scaventour™ has a brand new game called Haumea's Quest. It is a modern version of a scavenger hunt, where your group can form teams (or just play as one team) and engage in a series of tasks in Waikiki where you will be required to take pictures or upload videos of your team doing something at the location. The groups who have played this game have really enjoyed the video tasks the most as it makes them the "star of the show!" This is a great game for all ages (mainly teenagers and above, though if you have some younger kids in the group, there are definitely things they can do in the game). It has been very popular for team building activities. Click here for more information or Click here to book online now!
Looking for things to do in Honolulu? Scaventour™ is a live action outdoor escape game that is modeled off of an escape room game, but instead of the game taking place indoors in a private venue, it is outside in public spaces. Like an escape room, players are challenged to open many locked cases and bags in order to find the next location and get to the end within 60 minutes. At times, Scaventour™ will feel like an escape game, but other times, it feels like a scavenger hunt, or a treasure hunt, or even like in a famous code breaking movie, or one about a treasure hunt. Book now to enjoy a tour / game experience that is like no other you've ever encountered.
Perhaps you have played outdoor scavenger hunts or murder mysteries before. This main Scaventour games are closer to an escape game because you have a guide who acts as the game master. The guide is very important because he or she allows the game to be complex, but also have help if your group needs it. So, this isn't a self-guided game, rather it is what you would expect to find in an escape room, but outside.
We have different games for different size groups.
- 4-12 people (adults and children) can play the 60 minute Duke's Revenge game or the Tourist Trap game in Waikiki. ($33 per adult/ $26 per child under 14).
- 2-1250 people can play the 90 minute Video / Photo Scavenger Hunt game Haumea's Quest in Waikiki or Magic Island (or could be customized for your location). ($29 per person; School pricing available).

For parties larger than 60 people, please email scaventour@gmail.com or send us a text to schedule a phone call to make the booking. Good for corporate team building activities. ($29 per person)
- 16-400 people can play the competitive 90 minute Cryptic Murder game in Central Waikiki. For parties larger than 60 people, please email scaventour@gmail.com. Good for corporate team building activities ($37 per person)

Watch our Facebook video that shows the end of one of the games, seeing the successful teams' excitement as they opened the safe.
How does Scaventour™ work?
For the route based games (Duke's Revenge and Tourist Trap) a guide meets you at a designated spot. The guide gives you a quick brief, then gives you a backpack. All of the pockets are locked on the backpack. Just like in an escape room, you have to open a lot of locks. Inside the pockets are clues. Those clues are relevant at different places in Waikiki. You have to walk to the place, use the clue to help solve a puzzle by looking at the clue and then finding something at your destination that is related to the clue.
Eventually, the puzzle will yield a combination that will help you unlock one of the locks. Once you open the lock, you will find another puzzle and another destination. The destinations are no more than 100 yards apart. You will walk to the next place and repeat this (some places have multiple puzzles in a single location).
You have 60 minutes to walk the 1.5 mile course and solve the puzzles.
The team competitive games work a little different.
For Cryptic Murder or Double Agents each team is given a packet with 12-14 puzzles and 90 minutes to manage your time and walk through the area solving puzzles to allow you to determine the identify of the murderer or double agent. Highest Score wins (if only one team, the team that identifies the murderer wins). This game normally takes 2 hours to complete.
For the Lost Key game, each team is given a packet with 16 puzzles and 75 minutes to solve the puzzles in order to figure out the combination to open your uncle's safe.
For The Hunt, each team is given a packet of puzzles and has 90 minutes to return with a completed treasure map. The team that is closest to the treasure location wins. This game also normally takes 2 hours to complete from start to finish.
For Haumea's Quest Scavenger Hunt, every person on the team has access to the app and the list of tasks. This modern version of a Scavenger Hunt game puts the players as the stars as many tasks required you to find something or go somewhere (like to a statue, or the beach, or a park bench, or a bus stop) and then either answer questions about that place or perform a task. It is a 90 minute game, but it can be customized for longer or shorter or at different locations. It is very popular for both groups of teenagers and for adults, alike.
The larger games are great for corporate teambuilding or building military cohesion.
Cryptic Murder, Lost Key, and Double Agents games can each be scheduled at any time of day, depending on availability. Since The Hunt is downtown, we prefer to do that game just during the day.
Where are the Scaventour™ games?
We currently have 10 games that can be scheduled online in Hawaii. All games (even the competitive ones) can be played by one team of 4-6 players if you just want to work cooperatively. Duke's Revenge and Tourist Trap are the best games for 4-12 people to play cooperatively. The Lost Key can either be competitive (for up to 250 people) or could be played cooperatively. The Hunt and Cryptic Murder are primarily competitive games (where teams of 4-5 compete against each other), but if you only have a team of 4 - 6 people and want to just play cooperatively to try to achieve the objectives, they can. Due to the difficulty of the puzzles, we really do not recommend the competitive games for groups that have a lot of kids under 14 in them, but if you have one or maybe 2 children who are pretty smart, there are ways for them to participate. We have modified Cryptic Murder and Lost Key previously for large groups of 12-13 year old kids, but each team that has kids 13 and under must have an adult over 18 chaperoning them. If you have groups of teens that are over 14, they do not necessarily need an adult, but please do not book games that would take place after the sunsets.
The newest game, our Haumea's Quest Scavenger Hunt, is currently set up starting in the same location as the Lost Key, but that game can be customized to be played anywhere and can be for a small group or a giant corporate event with up to 1250 people.
Additionally, the The Safe, Duke's Revenge, Cryptic Murder, and Lost Key games can be played after dark. All other games must be played prior to the sunsetting. If you do schedule a game after dark, you may need flashlights. Most teams can make due with the lights on their phones, but feel free to bring your own flashlights as desired.

Scaventour is a walking game, not a running game. Some teams have tried to run, but almost all of them have failed.
For teams that have younger players or novices, some of the puzzles are modified to better suit their skill level. Furthermore, there are some additional components of the game that can be added if you have a couple of players as young as 7 playing the game.
