We had hoped to find a scavenger hunt which would provide us with clues leading us to historic and or culturally significant places in Wilmington. Instead we were given a list of ten places to visit (supposedly organized geographically). Only one of the places was culturally significant. Most were simply stores which might appeal to tourists. This list included directions to perform some sort of creative act when we got there and then send a picture/video of it to the organizer.The goal is to earn points by completing these tasks. Bonus points were awarded for creativity or for taking on extra challenges. In theory you and your team competes against others, but we seemed to be the only team. The company provides live communication via text during the two hour "scavenger" hunt. Our contact person was certainly upbeat and encouraging, but this didn't make up for the weaknesses of this activity. We paid $18 each expecting something much more organized and engaging. It felt as if the organizers had never been to the town, and had just pulled the list of places to visit off an Instagram list of cute stores and eateries in Wilmington. The participants, and not the organizers are responsible for most of the creativity involved. Although we were offered the opportunity to experience another of the Alley Kat Adventures activities in a different city, after sharing our concerns, I'm not sure it will be any better than this.JosephEberspacher

My scavenger hunting buddy and I were visiting Wilmington and as the crazy scavenger person I am we had to give this one a go! I always look for companies I’ve been able to hunt with before if I can’t find a new one and Alley Kat never seems to fail me. We got to see plenty of cultural landmarks...
My scavenger hunting buddy and I were visiting Wilmington and as the crazy scavenger person I am we had to give this one a go! I always look for companies I’ve been able to hunt with before if I can’t find a new one and Alley Kat never seems to fail me. We got to see plenty of cultural landmarks and some realy cool stores I wouldn’t have found without their help. You do get a text guide that will message you as you need help and they were on point throughout our journey! I can not wait for the next one!
