Boston Scavenger Hunt & Urban Adventure Race

HTA Boston Wrap-up

High Trek Adventure returned to Boston for its 3rd annual High Trek Adventure and thrilled 252 urban adventure races. Despite the chilly temps (coldest ever for a High Trek Adventure race) the adventure went forth. Our peeps ate ice cream, traversed Harvard Yard, and navigated the T (though some ran the entire race like our good friends from Team New Balance, way to go Kristen Sullivan). It was a good time had by all and we cannot wait to return to "The Hub of the Universe."

More Info

You've registered for this crazy train experience of a lifetime, so what next? You and your team partner will be on a lively, one-day, Boston amazing race. This scavenger hunt will take you to unmarked checkpoints known as TREKpoints and explore Boston like you've never experienced it before as the puzzle unfolds. Our high octane energy adventure game might take you through the many historical neighborhoods of Beantown like Back Bay, Faneuil Hall, Beacon Hill, the North End, the Boston Common, the Freedom Trail and some nifty places you might not even know about!

On this sensational metro adventure, you'll solve clues ranging from pop culture to math (nothing tougher than 8th grade) to American history, anagrams, sudoku, and so much more. It's like a real life Trivial Pursuit game! Along the way you'll face exciting challenges.

At the end of this fun day, we're throwing a party (we're excellent party planners) complete with prizes that are so cool, even we'll be jealous of your loot. You won't be disappointed! There will be prizes awarded for second and third place winners, as well as other categories, and all participants receive a swag bag full of awesome goods. Some swag might include movie tickets, restaurant gift certificates, other free stuff and money saving items, and of course, a t-shirt commemorating the event.
