There are two different games to choose from in this series of Scavenger Hunts. To start, each team is issued with a backpack that contains everything you need to solve cryptic clues and identify various locations around the city. There are also locked box challenges to complete along the way.
You must capture your answers with photographic evidence of each location to earn points. Strategic decisions will need to be made during this game to gain more points than the opposing teams. Race the clock and race the other teams. A 60 or 90 minute time frame is recommended.

Adventures at Woodlands Estate
Woodlands Wanderer
There are two Scavenger Hunt games that are available, one within the historic homestead and the other through the beautiful gardens.
As the story goes, there were two children who lived in the homestead. One would never come inside and the other's whole world was within the Homestead. Each had a favourite spot, but both of these were lost to time. The children wanted to tell someone where they were, so they wrote riddles that you must solve and items to look for to find the answer.
Each game pack includes a $10 Voucher for the Garden Grove Cafe. A 60-minute time frame is recommended.
