Play the Fantastic Catalina Race - an interactive, clue-based adventure game that's like a reality show come to life! Equal parts live-action mystery novel and scavenger hunt, it's the best, most fun, and most unique way to experience Catalina.
If you’re new to our experience, essentially players sign up in teams of 2 to 8 people. All teams meet at a ‘hosted’ starting line where they receive their first clue. The solution to the clue leads to a new location and a new clue, then to the next and so on. The team that solves all the clues and crosses the finish line in the least amount of time is crowned the winner.
Players will need their wits, energy, and sense of adventure as they race against time and fellow competitors while solving devious clues and completing fun tasks.
And when players cross the finish line, the fun is just beginning. There we provide everyone in the group with complimentary beverages and snacks. While players eat, drink, and make merry, we wrap up the day with a fun awards ceremony, that includes prizes for top finishers and all the war stories players can handle.
Note: While we call it a race, it is also a sightseeing tour. We encourage people to go at whatever pace best suits them.
In addition to the complementary beverages and snacks at the finish line, we provide some local goodies as well as fully-paid admission to local venues throughout the race. Also a discounted meal is available for purchase during the awards ceremony.
