Scaventour designs interactive scavenger hunts and mystery games across Waikiki and downtown Honolulu. With a focus on local landmarks, immersive storytelling, and team-based challenges, Scaventour offers themed experiences for couples, families, corporate groups, and tourists. Hunts range from short hotel-based puzzles to larger city-wide adventures, with several experiences hosted at Marriott Waikiki and many centered in Waikiki neighborhoods.
Each route blends clues, photo and video tasks, and historical or mythical narratives inspired by Hawaiian culture. Popular options include cryptic murder mysteries, family-friendly treasure quests, and video scavenger hunts that use smartphones for clues and submissions. Scaventour's lineup includes titles such as The Hunt, The Safe, Cryptic Murder, Kanaloa's Curse (a kids game), Menehune Marvels, Duke's Revenge, Tourist Trap, Lost Key, and Haumea's Quest.
Scaventour prioritizes accessible instructions, clear safety guidance, and flexible start times to suit self-guided players and booked groups. Ticketing and reservations are handled online with detailed descriptions for each hunt, including location notes — many explicitly listing Waikiki or Marriott Waikiki to help visitors choose appropriate routes. Scaventour collaborates with hotel staff where events are hosted on property to ensure guest convenience and smooth logistics.
