Stray Boots

I’m pretty sure I claim the title of Stray Boots’ biggest fan. Since discovering this company through a Google search about three years ago, I have since purchased and played scavenger hunts in New York City, Los Angeles, San Diego, and Boston. Whether it was with my family or friends, big groups or just a pair of us, these scavenger hunts have created some of the best memories (and photos) from these landmark cities.
Stray Boots is a great way to get to know some of the largest, most popular cities around the globe! They are perfect for dates, birthdays, or even if you’re bored on a Saturday afternoon and are looking for something to do. They’re not only fun, but you learn some unique facts and history about cities that you may have thought you knew like the back of your hand. And not only are you learning about the cities, you’re engaging with whoever you’re with and sharing a ton of laughs and great conversation along the way.
If you’re looking for a unique way to spend a date with your lover, share a birthday with your friends, or explore a new city with your family, Stray Boots is the absolute best way to do it all!

Even though we are from Boston, my boyfriend and I used this as a way to entertain out of town guests. It made the day new and fun for us too! We all had a great time, especially love the photo ideas.

I just visited Boston for the first time, and as travelling on my own, thought this would be something fun to learn more about the city.
I completed the Beacon Hill tour — and I learnt so much about the city in general & it’s history that I had absolutely no idea about, that I probably wouldn’t have found on my own or with a large organised tour. It was great to be able to work at my own pace, and the photo & riddle challenges make it stand out from anything else I’ve seen before.
The only negatives would be, that the iPhone app doesn’t work for Boston yet (although the email said it would), but the mobile site worked fine, and that it would work much better with 2 or even 3+ people. I had to pay for 2 although I was on my own (was only $ 10 total so no big deal), and some of the photo challeneges were definitely planned for 3+ people — but I still made it work!
If you are looking to learn more about a city (even your own), without getting stuck to a set schedule with a group of tourists, this is definitely the way to go. I am heading to Vegas in a few weeks, and as there will be 3 of us, will defintely do this there as well!

Me and my boyfriend did the Beacon Hill tour this weekend as a fun date idea. It was really fun! Even though I visit Boston very often, I got to see a part of town I had never explored before, and learnt a lot of fun facts in the process. I liked discovering Boston in this way, we went at our own pace, had fun and did some good exercise walking around! I think sending in the pictures throughout the hunt is a nice addition. Even though my boyfriend wasn’t sure about this activity at first, he ended up getting really into it!

My husband and I did the Back Bay and Downtown hunt. What a great way to see Boston! We tend to be a little disorganized and we thought it would be a good way to see the historic sights of this wonderful city. We were able to go at our own pace, stopping for lunch or just taking time to rest, continuing where we left off. We did one hunt a day with each hunt taking us about 4 hours. My husband wished that the beginning text had given us a north direction for reference on the first text because we got disoriented when the clues gave north/​south directions. Other then that, we thought it was a pretty cool way to explore the beautiful city of Boston!
