Summary: Fun family activity exploring the Nob Hill section of ABQ. We were sent “missions” to find places and experiences. Good way to engage a 13 year old. We’ve been to Nob Hill before but discovered new things and ended up at UNM. We were able to go at our own pace but finished all the missions in 2 hours. We were given the option of extending for more missions in other parts of the city, but we had a hungry teen to feed. We walked almost 5 miles! Melanie, our host was great to work with. We would do this again in other cities and recommend it.

Summary: We were visiting family in ABQ and did this activity with our 13 year old grandson. It was a good way to spend quality time. As well as a way to get to know the Nob Hill and UNM areas in the 2 hours of the hunt. We ended up waking almost 5 miles to complete the “missions”. We would do this in other cities.

Summary: We had a blast seeing parts of our city we had never seen before. We initially had trouble connecting with our guide as WhatsApp wasn’t going through but then we tried a different phone and got started but lost 20 minutes for all of that. From then on it was a great time. All of us (me, my partner and our two girls 8 and 12) were engaged and enjoying the adventure and each other’s company. Highly recommend, we’d all do this again.
