High Trek Adventure Los Angeles: Ultimate urban adventure race

No location was chosen


Brief Description:
High Trek Adventure is a unique, one-of-a-kind urban adventure game where brains beat brawn! Teams of 2 solve clever clues while navigating the urban jungle via foot or public transit! Its a scavenger hunt, with all the thrills of the amazing race, mixed in with Trivial Pursuit, throw in a mini road race and add a dash of cat-and-mouse. And voila! You have High Trek Adventure!

We got the hookup from the race organizers! Our cost, per person is only $38/person until! Normally it is $51.80 until 1/16 and $55 until 1/21. They are also waiving the nasty $10.00 transaction through their processing company.
You get a t-shirt and other goodies - click HERE for the full scoop.

NOTE:
Keep in mind if you sign up through their website you will not be eligible for the discounts!

What is High Trek Adventure?

High Trek Adventure is a unique urban adventure game where teams solve clever clues and face fun challenges while discovering their city a fun new way!
What do I get?
o 1. A fun urban adventure!
o 2. High Trek Adventure t-shirt and race number
o 3. National Championship Qualifier medals (Top 25 teams)
o 4. Chance at $12,345.67 in the National Championship.

You've registered for this crazy train experience of a lifetime, so what next? You and your team partner will be on a lively, one-day, LA amazing race. This scavenger hunt will take you to unmarked checkpoints known as TREKpoints and explore Los Angeles like you've never experienced it before as the puzzle unfolds. Our high octane energy adventure game might take you through the many exciting neighborhoods of LA like West Hollywood, Downtown, Studio City, Hollywood and some nifty places you might not even know about!

On this sensational metro adventure, you'll solve clues ranging from pop culture to math (nothing tougher than 8th grade) to American history, anagrams, sudoku, and so much more. It's like a real life Trivial Pursuit game! Along the way you'll face exciting challenges like bowling a strike, identifying a flavor of ice cream or putting a puzzle together.

In case of a disaster including, but not limited to flooding, tornadoes, terrorism, High Trek Adventure will decide whether or not to cancel the event based on the safety of participants and staff. In the event of a cancellation, refunds will NOT be issued; risk is assumed by all participants. However, participants will have the option to transfer registration to a different 2009 city, excluding Championship Race.

*If High Trek Adventure does not provide participants with a swag bag then the first round of drinks is on us!

    Had a great time. However, forget about doing this event unless you have an iPhone or similar, or be able to call up friends to Google stuff for you.

    The start off was a bit unorganized but we got the race going. It was a fun day. The trivia was good where we can find the answers by googling or walking around the street based on the clues. It made us know the area better and find a few surprises. It was sad that they ran out of T-shirts for the participants-our team didn't get one.
