Austin: Virtual Home Scavenger Hunt with Live Coach

Your Living Room Becomes the Game Board

You hunt through your home via Zoom while a live Adventure Coach scores your team's finds and keeps the energy high. Missions test creativity, trivia, styling, and improvisation: whatever hidden talents show up. You get a leaderboard, digital guide, photos from the session, and the option to extend the hunt free if you're not done laughing yet.

The experience

The Zoom call starts, and your Adventure Coach is already there: ready to send you hunting through your own home for props, costumes, and conversation starters that'll unlock points for your team. Kat Nelson, who founded Alley Kat Adventures in Austin, designed this virtual scavenger hunt to work whether you're playing with family across state lines, coworkers you've never met in person, or friends who just need a break from the usual. The game runs live, which means your coach is watching, reacting, laughing at your finds, and keeping the energy up the whole time.

What makes this different from a generic online game is that you're not staring at a screen solving puzzles. You're moving through your actual space, digging into closets, raiding the kitchen, pulling together outfits, and improvising on the fly. The missions test whatever you've got: artistic skills, trivia knowledge, styling ability, googling speed, collaboration, problem-solving, or just pure creativity. Your coach sees it all happen in real time and scores you on a live leaderboard, so there's real stakes and real laughs. Kat's background spans 14 years as a teacher, SAG acting credits, and leading marketing teams at Facebook and NVIDIA. She knows how to read a room (even a virtual one) and keep people engaged.

All you need is a Zoom account, a phone or WhatsApp number to connect with the coach, and whatever's already in your home. The hunt is flexible too. If you're having too much fun, you can extend it for free. You'll get a digital scavenger hunt document to guide you, plus photos and videos from the session so you actually have proof of the chaos and the wins. It works for family reunions, bachelor and bachelorette groups, corporate team building, or just a random Tuesday night when everyone needs to feel like a rockstar.

What’s included

Your session includes a remote interactive live guide (your Adventure Coach) who facilitates the entire game via Zoom, a real-time leaderboard so you can track your team's standing, a digital scavenger hunt document with all the missions, the option to extend the hunt for free if you want to keep playing, photos and videos from your session, and future company alumni discounts if you book another Alley Kat adventure.
