Duke's Revenge - Waikiki
Duke's Revenge is an outdoor puzzle game that takes place on foot through Waikiki. The guide hands out a backpack fitted with locked zipper pockets. Opening an unlocked pocket reveals a map and a clue, which the group uses to unlock the next pocket and move to the following stop along the course. The guide helps navigate to each point, so no map-reading skills are needed. The game combines elements of escape rooms, treasure hunts, and scavenger hunts, all played outdoors on a walking course. The difficulty level is easy and the physical intensity is low. The activity is weather dependent, so light rain may call for an umbrella. Participants should bring sunscreen, a hat, and a camera. Gratuity and transportation are not included.
Haumea's Quest - Video Scavenger Hunt
Haumea's Quest is a self-guided video scavenger hunt set in Waikiki that challenges groups to solve puzzles and complete tasks inspired by Hawaiian mythology and the lore of the Menehune. Teams work through a mix of information, photo, and video challenges scattered around the area, and the video tasks make up the bulk of the experience. Those might involve inventing a secret handshake, acting as weather reporters while teammates mime battling the wind, or playing slow-motion tag, with bonus points on offer for creative effort. The game begins with a short tutorial before the timed play period starts. Bonus or shorter play times can be arranged on request at no added cost. Meals, transport, and gratuity are not included. The difficulty is rated easy and the physical intensity moderate, so participants should be comfortable moving around on foot. No guide accompanies the group, so the team navigates and solves everything together.
The Safe - Marriott Waikiki
The Safe - Marriott Waikiki is an outdoor puzzle adventure that takes place along the east side of Waikiki, near Kuhio Beach in front of the Waikiki Marriott. Teams pick up a puzzle pack and work through a series of clues scattered across the area, following a storyline about a late uncle who hid the key to his safe. Solving each puzzle brings the group closer to uncovering the combination and opening the safe. The game suits families, friend groups, and corporate teams looking for a collaborative activity. Difficulty is rated moderate, so players should expect clues that require observation, logical thinking, and teamwork. Players should not run and should follow normal pedestrian rules throughout. The game is weather dependent, so conditions on the day can affect play. Finishing within the time limit earns a game prize, but teams who finish late can collect their prize the following day.
Tourist Trap - Waikiki
Tourist Trap is an outdoor game run by Scaventour that combines the logic of an escape room with the movement of a scavenger hunt. A guide meets participants in front of the Army Museum at Fort DeRussy on Kalia Road in Waikiki. Each team carries a backpack fitted with locked zipper pockets. Opening the first unlocked pocket reveals a map, a start point, and a clue. That clue helps unlock the first lock, which yields a second destination and another clue. The guide handles navigation throughout, so no map-reading skill is needed. Part of the course passes through a garden, and during some times of year bug bites are a possibility there, so bringing insect repellent is worth considering. Umbrellas are fine to carry if light rain is expected. The gamemaster's phone number arrives in the confirmation email for easy contact on game day. The difficulty level is rated easy. Gratuity and transportation are not included in the price.
Cryptic Murder - Waikiki
The premise centers on the murder of a foreign-born NSA contractor who had been attempting to destroy cryptocurrency markets. An anonymous whistleblower has left behind clues, and it falls to each team to work through them and identify the killer before time runs out. Teams meet a gamemaster in front of the Tiffany store at the corner of Lewers and Kalakaua to get the game underway. The game is designed for multiple small teams, though a single team can also play. Groups planning to bring a large number of teams should contact Scaventour in advance to confirm availability. A private option is available for those who prefer not to share the experience with other groups. The physical intensity is rated moderate. Multiple start times are offered, and Scaventour can work with groups that need something outside the standard schedule. Anyone with questions about team size or timing can reach out to the operator directly before booking.
Kanaloa's Curse - Kid's Game - Marriott Waikiki
Players work through a series of puzzles, mazes, and environmentally themed challenges, each one rooted in the Hawaiian mythology of Kanaloa, the god of the ocean. The story follows a curse placed over a hidden treasure, and the game asks children to demonstrate respect for the land, sea, and friendship in order to break it. The adventure closes with a group Hawaiian chant that lifts the curse and reveals the concealed treasure. Comfortable shoes are recommended, as the activities involve movement. The meeting point is the Scaventour Games shop inside the Waikiki Marriott, located next to the rideshare pickup area. No dedicated parking is available on site. Casual adult players are also welcome to join alongside the children and enjoy the experience.
The Hunt - Downtown
The Hunt - Downtown takes place in Downtown Honolulu, where competing teams work together to solve a series of puzzles and find items scattered through the area, filling in a blank treasure map along the way. The story follows Sam Johnson, a treasure hunter whose death left his own treasures hidden. Each team receives a starting location and a set of puzzles designed to lead them toward the treasure location. The goal is to complete the map before time runs out. Groups meet at Tamarind Park, a small park at the corner of Bishop and King Streets in Downtown Honolulu. Puzzle-solving, observation, and teamwork all come into play. The game runs any day of the week. The default online booking time is a placeholder, and Scaventour can accommodate different start times by request through email. Groups planning to field many teams should also reach out before booking.
Vanished in Paradise - Marriott Waikiki
The game weaves together Hawaiian mythology, specifically the legend of Hi'iaka and Lohiau, with a contemporary story of mystery and romance. Participants move through real locations, solving puzzles and deciphering clues at each stop to piece together a larger narrative. The experience involves walking at a low physical intensity, so it suits a wide range of participants, including families, couples, and groups of friends. Because the game takes place outdoors, weather can affect the experience. Start times are flexible, and the operator can often adjust the scheduled time if needed. A private option is available for those who want the experience to themselves. The game draws on Hawaiian cultural heritage throughout, so players come away with context about local mythology alongside the fun of the hunt.
Lost Key - Waikiki
Lost Key - Waikiki is a puzzle game run by Scaventour, starting in front of the Waikiki Zoo. The story behind it follows a fictional premise: a late uncle has hidden a key to his fortune, and players must work through a series of puzzles to track it down. Groups compete to solve the puzzles and earn the chance to open a safe. For groups who prefer a non-competitive format, there is an option where every team gets a turn at the safe. The physical intensity is low. Weather can affect whether the game runs, so checking conditions before the start time is a good idea. A gamemaster is assigned to lead the game, and the meeting point is in front of the Waikiki Zoo.
