A Friendly Take on the Coral Springs City Scavenger Hunt by Wacky Walks
If you’re looking for a playful way to get to know Coral Springs, a city just outside Fort Lauderdale, this Coral Springs City Scavenger Hunt could be just what you need. While I haven’t personally been on this exact tour, it’s designed for those who want to explore at their own pace, using only their smartphones and a little bit of curiosity.
What really catches your eye about this experience? First, the low price point of just $10 per person makes it an accessible option for most travelers. Plus, the fact that it’s booked an average of 29 days in advance suggests it’s popular with those planning ahead, which makes sense given its flexibility and straightforward setup.
On the flip side, a possible consideration is that it relies on your own phone and a bit of self-guided navigation—so tech issues or connectivity hiccups might slow you down. If you’re someone who prefers a more structured tour with a guide, this might feel a little too independent.
This scavenger hunt is ideal for first-time visitors who want a fun, relaxed way to learn about Coral Springs without feeling overwhelmed. If you enjoy interactive experiences, solving puzzles, and competing against a national leaderboard, you’ll probably find this a great fit.

- Interactive support via a live remote guide, helpful if you get stuck.
- Easy access thanks to nearby public transportation, so no rental car needed.
- Family-friendly: Strollers and service animals can navigate the route comfortably.

Exploring the Coral Springs City Scavenger Hunt

This tour offers a different way to see Coral Springs, one of Florida’s smaller but lively cities.

What to Expect During the Tour
From the moment you start at 9500 W Sample Rd, you’ll receive a list of items to find, framed as riddles or puzzles. These items are scattered across the city, and your goal is to photograph each one to earn points. The game keeps score on a national leaderboard, so you can see how your team stacks up against others across the country—a great motivator for friendly competition.
Along With clicking photos, you’ll complete small tasks that add to your overall score. If you get stuck at any point, a live remote interactive guide is on hand through a chat feature, ready to give hints or help you figure things out. Most travelers seem to appreciate this element, as it adds a layer of support without making the experience overly guided.
What Makes It Stand Out
First, the cost is remarkably low for a two-hour activity, especially considering it includes access to an interactive guide. The duration of around two hours strikes a good balance, giving you ample time to explore without it feeling rushed or overly tiring.
Second, the route’s accessibility is a plus. Being near public transportation means you don’t need to rent a car, making it a convenient option for travelers staying in nearby areas or those who prefer to avoid the hassle of driving. Plus, the route is stroller- and service animal-friendly, so families or those with mobility needs can participate comfortably.
The Experience in Action
Imagine wandering around Coral Springs, your phone in hand, decoding clues about local parks, landmarks, or hidden gems. The game adds an element of discovery and fun, turning a simple walk into a treasure hunt. It’s not just about ticking off items; it’s about engaging with the city’s atmosphere in a playful way.
Travelers have noted the knowledgeable guides—even if only remotely—adding value by helping keep the game flowing smoothly. It’s nice to have that reassurance, especially for those unfamiliar with the area or new to scavenger hunts.
