Testimonial for our Austin Scavenger Hunt
“We wanted an event that would allow employees from across the globe to be able to come together for a team building activity that would be both fun and well organized. Boy did you deliver! By the end of the day, all who participated were buzzing with excitement. Our employees are still passing photos and exchanging jokes and memories. Most important,it turned a room full of strangers into fond acquaintances. What I was most impressed with were the outgoing staff and organization of the event. Not an easy task for a group of our size! As an event coordinator, it is wonderful to be able to sit back and enjoy the day’s activities for a change. Since the event, I have told many business associates and friends about your company. I highly recommend Scavenger Hunt Anywhere for any occasion, and can hardly wait until we have the opportunity to use you again.
Thanks for a job well done!”
