Quick Overview: What’s this Crazy Dash all about?
If you’re looking for a lighthearted way to explore Huntington Beach, this $10 scavenger hunt could be just the ticket. It’s a two-hour adventure that uses your phone to guide you around the city’s most interesting spots, without the constraints of a fixed schedule. Led by a live remote host, you’ll find clues, take photos, and compete for points—all at your own pace.
What we really like: First, it’s affordable, offering a fun activity for a modest price. Second, the flexibility of exploring in any order means you can customize your experience based on your interests or energy levels.
A possible consideration: Since it’s a self-led hunt, it relies on your phone’s battery and reception—so plan accordingly. Also, private transportation isn’t included, so getting around might require a car, bike, or public transit.
This experience is ideal for families, groups of friends, or solo travelers wanting a relaxed, interactive way to see Huntington Beach without the rush of a traditional tour.

This scavenger hunt is especially suited for those who want a casual, engaging exploration or are traveling with family or friends wanting to break away from typical sightseeing. If you enjoy interactive activities and discovery at your own pace, you’ll find this a worthwhile addition to your Huntington Beach visit.
How the Experience Works: An Inside Look
When you start the Crazy Dash, you’ll access an app that acts as your personal guide. The app presents a list of items and challenges scattered around Huntington Beach—like finding specific landmarks, quirky objects, or scenic spots. You can find them in any order, which makes the experience feel more like a treasure hunt than a tour.
We loved the freedom to explore at our own pace; there’s no rush, which is perfect if you want to linger at a favorite spot or skip something that doesn’t interest you. The app also allows you to take photos of your finds—adding a fun, visual element to your adventure—and collect points for each item or challenge completed.
What sets this apart from typical tours is the leaderboard, where you can see how your scores compare with others across the country. It adds a playful competitive edge, making it fun whether you’re with kids or friends.
The Role of the Remote Host
Having a live remote host is a smart touch. If you’re stuck or unsure about where to go next, a quick chat can get you back on track. Their presence adds a layer of support and reassurance without the pressure of a guided group.
Discovering Huntington Beach Through a Different Lens
Rather than sitting on a bus or following a predetermined route, you get to dive into the city’s atmosphere. You might find yourself stopping at a local mural, snapping a photo of a hidden sign, or trying to spot a particular type of seagull—small moments that make the experience memorable and authentic.
How It Compares to Other Tours
While many tours focus on history or scenery, Crazy Dash emphasizes interactive participation. It’s less about passive sightseeing and more about engaging with your surroundings. For the price of a few coffees, you get an active, personalized experience that’s great for families, solo explorers, or couples wanting some light-hearted fun.
Final Thoughts: Is This Right for You?
If you’re someone who enjoys self-guided adventures, loves a bit of friendly competition, or simply wants to see Huntington Beach from a fresh perspective, this scavenger hunt could be a highlight of your trip. It’s especially appealing if you’re budget-conscious but still eager for a creative, engaging activity.
That said, be prepared for some planning on your part—making sure your phone is charged and transportation is arranged. It’s not a guided tour with transportation included, so if you prefer everything handed to you, this might not be the best fit.
Overall, for cost, flexibility, and interactive fun, Crazy Dash offers a charming way to explore Huntington Beach beyond the usual tourist spots, helping you find those small, local treasures that make the city special.
