A Chicago city scavenger hunt you can't miss!
Welcome to the Windy City, where steel and sky collide, deep-dish legends are born, and every neighborhood tells a story worth discovering together. Our Chicago Scavenger Hunt is a fast-paced, GPS-powered team building adventure that transforms one of America’s most iconic cities into your team’s ultimate playground. Powered by our cutting-edge mobile app, teams race through the city solving puzzles, completing creative photo and video challenges, and unlocking clues inspired by Chicago’s legendary blues and jazz heritage, world-class architecture, vibrant multicultural neighborhoods, deep-dish pizza culture, and the fierce civic pride that makes the Windy City unlike anywhere else on earth—all while competing on a live leaderboard that drives friendly competition, sharper communication, and stronger collaboration.
Whether your team is marveling at the skyline reflected in Cloud Gate in Millennium Park, tracing the bold lines of the Chicago Riverwalk, exploring the rich history of the Art Institute of Chicago, strolling the magnificent Mile, digging into a legendary deep-dish pie in River North, uncovering the blues roots of the South Side, discovering the vibrant murals of Pilsen, or catching a breathtaking view from the 360 Chicago observation deck, the city delivers a sensory experience unlike anywhere else in the world.
Fully customizable based on your starting location, timeframe, and group goals, this Chicago scavenger hunt is perfect for corporate retreats, convention and conference groups, sales kickoffs, client entertainment, new hire onboarding, and leadership development programs across Chicagoland.

We also offer spring, summer, and fall programming, and Chicago’s skyline is nothing short of breathtaking in every season. Just bring a warm layer and a competitive spirit, and we’ll handle the rest.
