About

What Is Wild Goose Chase

Wild Goose Chase is an immersive scavenger hunt that transforms your city into a thrilling adventure. Designed to spark creativity and teamwork, this activity encourages participants to step out of their comfort zones and bond as a group.

As teams navigate through various unique challenges, they’ll engage with locals, uncover hidden landmarks, and explore lesser-known parts of the city. It’s more than just a game—it’s an experience that fosters collaboration and reveals individual strengths within the team. Using a web app, participants will capture their journey through photos and videos, all while racing to earn points and complete tasks. Wild Goose Chase is an unforgettable way to connect, learn, and explore together.

Wild Goose Chase Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if we have inclement weather on the day of our activity? (For outdoor activities)

We appreciate that weather is not always predictable, so we have a back-up plan in the event of poor weather.  We can switch your event to our indoor app-based Team Pursuit event at no extra charge.  You would need to arrange a backup space for the activity, and we need notice of 2 hours to make the switch.

What if I need to change the date of my event?

We understand that plans can change, so please reach out as early as possible, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs. Date changes may incur a change fee, please reach out to your Sales Engagement Consultant to discuss further.

What if I need to make a last-minute change to my activity?

Depending on what the change is, we recommend discussing all changes with your dedicated Event Manager to see if we can accommodate the change.

Our team had a blast with this event. The feedback I received was that they loved the live leaderboard. I would highly recommend the Wild Goose Chase, it is versatile enough for many locations. It ended up raining in our city during the event, but we all knew ahead to dress for the weather, and no one wanted to stop!

I didn’t have any questions as the resources provided were very helpful, but if I did, they were very proactive.
