What To Expect
The adventure begins down at the waterfront and takes you out onto the wharf. The adventure will take you on a well-designed course among historic monuments, up the best streets of Santa Barbara, among great artwork, old theaters and the famous courthouse. The tour requires approximately 2 miles of walking, with numerous stops along the route to complete challenges and decipher clues. The game software tracks team points and posts the final score to a city leaderboard for those with a competitive edge.
Using a smart phone as “the guide” allows participants to start when they want and determine their own pace of play, leaving time to stop for an ice cream or simply enjoy the beautiful coastal city and its natural scenery. Great for families, friends and those ready to have fun while seeing the city!
