The Experience
The hunt starts at a scenic local spot, and your phone buzzes with your first clue. On the other end is a live remote host—a real person, not a recording—ready to guide you through the next few hours. You're not following a map someone else drew; you're solving puzzles, accepting wacky challenges, and hunting down hidden gems across Martha's Vineyard that most visitors never find. The game alternates between indoors and outdoors, and you move at your own pace, walking or driving between checkpoints as you text photos back to your host, who responds in real time, cheering you on and helping when you get stuck.
What makes this scavenger hunt different is the live interaction. You're not alone with an app—there's someone on the other end of your phone who knows the island, knows the clues, and is invested in your team's progress. You might interact with locals to crack a puzzle, or you'll creatively interpret art and history clues for points. The whole thing is designed to make you laugh, get outside your comfort zone, and actually learn something about the place. Dogs are welcome, families with kids in strollers can do it, and the hunt is accessible to all fitness levels. You can even extend it for free if you're having too much fun to stop.
After you finish, your score lands on an international leaderboard—so you're competing not just against other teams in Martha's Vineyard, but against players in 300+ cities across North America. You don't need another team in your city to play; the game is built so you race against the clock and the puzzle itself. All you need is one fully charged smartphone with GPS and the ability to send texts and photos. You'll provide a working domestic phone number or WhatsApp handle when you book, and that's how your host reaches you during the hunt.
