5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our scavenger hunt. We spent a lot of time laughing. There’s plenty of missions to go on, we didn’t get to do them all but it was certainly interesting. Make sure you have a sense of adventure should you decide to do this.

5.00It was a fun hunt around town and not too difficult for us to complete. If you are wanting to take your time at each stop, be advised you will not complete the full hunt in 3 hours. It was a fun time to see the town of Lancaster and learn some history along the way.
Highly Recommend!! So much fun in Downtown Lancaster

5.00Wow, this was a really fun activity to do in downtown Lancaster. We don’t know the area well so we thought it might be hard but it was so fun and really enjoyable. We earned food and desserts plus various merch from local shops. I like how we got to learn lots of Lancaster History while having fun. The app was easy to use and there was even a cute video to help us figure out what to do prior. The host texted us immediately after the event started to say she was available to help throughout the experience. I hope she recreates more of these in other cities.

4.00The Lancaster scavenger hunt was so fun. It was just a little too long. I think 2 hours would have been good. I also think it would have been nice to receive a prize at the end.

5.00We had a fun time! There are plenty of tasks to do and the app was great! There is a decent amount of walking. We didn't mind it bc we like walking but if you get tired easily you'd have a harder time
Great group activity

5.00Had a great time, lots of fun activities and puzzles to solve. PLUS we got rewards for solving some of the clues. I was skeptical at first but it was very worth the time and money. I look forward to trying some of the other activities Unique Lancaster Experience offers!
Informative and fun!
