With great excitement, mobile devices and Let's Roam App in hand, hubby and I recently took on the Caloundra City Scavenger Hunt, in search of local historical lore and adventure.

Let me say from the outset being technologically savvy will definitely ensure you are ahead of the 'pack' and a motorised bicycle, moped or electric scooter will nicely round off the challenges to be completed, with perhaps a bit of time to spare! The coastal hills are far too daunting to attempt solely on foot, with the actual challenges being zig-zagged between beach, inner Caloundra and back again.



Brought to you by Let's Roam, the Sunshine Coast Scavenger Hunt explores some of the culture and history of the Sunshine Coast, commencing at Kings Beach. Scavenger hunters will discover hidden gems , whilst walking (cycling and/or driving) from landmark to statue and back again, solving riddles and answering trivia questions. Each challenge is only accessed, once the previous challenge has been successfully achieved. Work with your team to complete photo challenges and earn extra points for each discovery and photo your team takes. No need to stress, Let's Roam will guide your team to the next location, should you be unable to find the correct answer.



Let's Roam are a global organisation and at present have four locations across Australia, namely, Brisbane , Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast and Port Macquarie . With a fantastic variety of scavenger Hunts on offer, adventurers in pursuit of fun and laughter and some exercise thrown into the mix, will love the choices. Each ticket type unlocks totally unique questions, challenges and roles designed for the occasion.



Activities for Any Time, Anywhere

  • City Scavenger Hunts - historical fun
  • Bar Hunts and Crawls - I can only imagine the squawks and squeals of laughter on this one
  • Ghost Tours - not for the faint-hearted thrill-seekers
  • Date Night Activities - if a couple can get through a scavenger hunt and remain 'an item', the odds are ... you have a keeper!



  • Activities for Special Occasions

  • Team Building Scavenger Hunts - a great idea for staff team building or end-of-year function
  • Hen's Parties - a fun way for a group of friends to enjoy each other's company
  • Birthday Parties - for the young and not-so-young, using the little grey cells could make for a fun birthday event



  • Additional information on the Sunshine Coast Scavenger Hunt

  • Starting area: 1 Spender Lane, Kings Beach
  • Travel method: walking - as mentioned earlier, walking only might be a tad ambitious
  • Walking distance: 4.24kms
  • Time: One and a half to two hours
  • Skill level: Fun and fierce



  • Writer's Verdict:

  • & #10004 ;& #65039 ;I have been trying to decide what age demographic would find the Caloundra City Scavenger Hunt appealing and in my personal opinion, feel that today's Generation Z, would find the challenges - video and photo opportunities - far more 'up their alley' than the Baby Boomer generation (mine).



  • & #10006 ;& #65039 ;After every challenge, the Let's Roam App asked the question: "Did you enjoy the challenge?" "Yes or No?" We were unable to answer this question as literally in the blink of an eye, the question and answers had disappeared from the screen. I'm hoping that Let's Roam can rectify this for future scavenger hunters - it would be nice to say 'aye' or 'nay', after every challenge.



  • & #10004 ;& #65039 ;The 'plus' side to Scavenger Hunting with Let's Roam, is that you can put your 'hunt' on hold for another day and time and perhaps grab a bite to eat somewhere local or … hide some inspirational rocks to be found by one of the holidaymakers, enjoying our coastal lifestyle.



  • If your team or partner loves a little competition and thrives on solving riddles, answering trivia questions and completing photo challenges, aim for the ultimate cherry on top! Get to the top of the Sunshine Coast's Leaderboard and become the ultimate Scavenger Hunt Champions. Who doesn't love a challenge? Start your Scavenger Hunt here!
