Meta description: Discover Lakeland through a fun, interactive scavenger hunt using an app. Perfect for groups seeking a lively, affordable way to explore the city.
Quick Overview: What’s the Experience Like?

The Fun City Scavenger Hunt in Lakeland is a playful, modern way to explore this charming Florida town. For just $10 per person, you get about two hours of lively activity, guided remotely via an app. You’ll use your smartphone to find objects around downtown Lakeland, solved via riddles, and complete challenges that earn you points. The twist? You race against the clock, with an optional 2-hour time limit to beat your own record or others’ scores on the app’s leaderboard.
The experience is entirely self-guided, but you won’t be entirely alone — a remote host is available through the app to help keep things moving smoothly. Starting at 210 E Main St, you’ll aim to complete all three quests in order, making for a fun, competitive adventure that’s perfect for families, friends, or anyone wanting a dynamic way to see Lakeland beyond its typical tourist spots.
Two things we love: First, the flexibility to choose your own pace while still being part of a structured game; second, the interactive element with a remote host, making sure you’re never truly lost or stuck.
A potential drawback? If you’re not comfortable navigating mainly via your smartphone or prefer a guided tour with a fixed schedule, this might feel a bit freeform. Also, it’s a solo or group activity with no transportation included, so you’ll need your own way to get around town.
Who’s it best for? This scavenger hunt suits adventurers of all ages who enjoy puzzles, a bit of friendly competition, and exploring at their own rhythm. It’s especially ideal for those who want an affordable, engaging way to discover Lakeland’s sights and secrets.

In-Depth Review: Exploring Lakeland with a Smartphone
.jpg)
When we first heard about the 3Quest Challenge in Lakeland, we appreciated how it transforms sightseeing into a game. Instead of wandering aimlessly or sticking to a rigid tour, you get the chance to shape your own adventure. For just $10, you’re handed a digital map, riddles, and challenges that turn the city’s streets into a playground.
Starting point at 210 E Main St makes it easy to locate and begin your quest. From there, the app guides you through three separate “quests,” each containing objects to find—such as statues, landmarks, or storefronts—and fun challenges. All are designed to be found or completed using clues in the form of riddles. This adds an element of curiosity and problem-solving that keeps everyone engaged.
What makes this activity stand out?
Firstly, the participation is entirely self-directed. You can choose how much time to spend at each stop, which makes it perfect for flexible schedules or for those who love to go at their own pace. Secondly, the competitive aspect — with points scored and a leaderboard — turns a casual walk into a friendly contest. You might find yourself racing your friends or family to solve riddles faster, or simply enjoying the process of discovery.
The remote host is a clever addition. While you’re exploring, you can chat with your guide if you get stuck or need a hint, adding a layer of personalized support that’s rare in scavenger hunts. This makes the experience more accessible, especially for those unfamiliar with the area or riddles.
In terms of the itinerary, the game is straightforward but rich with potential discoveries. For example, you might be searching for a particular sculpture or a historic building, with clues that challenge your observation skills. The challenges test your creativity and teamwork, often prompting fun tasks like taking selfies or performing quick challenges.
Reviews from players highlight the enjoyment of the flexible format: “We loved the way the game let us explore at our own pace and the added fun of competing on the leaderboard,” says one anonymous participant. Meanwhile, others enjoy the cost-effectiveness, especially since many similar activities can cost much more than $10.
What about the limitations?
While the activity is fun and interactive, it does require a smartphone with a data connection, which might be a concern for travelers without a reliable internet or those preferring guided tours with transportation. Some might also find the activity less engaging if they prefer a more structured, narrated tour rather than a self-guided game.
Who should consider this?
It’s ideal for families, groups of friends, or solo travelers wanting to see Lakeland in a lively, playful manner. It’s also great if you’re on a budget but still want a memorable, active experience that combines sightseeing with a bit of friendly competition.
What You’ll Experience Step-by-Step

Start at 210 E Main St, where you’ll receive your first set of clues in the app. The initial quest typically involves finding notable landmarks or objects that reveal local history or culture. For instance, you might be tasked with locating a public art piece or a historic sign, then completing a quick challenge associated with it.
As you progress into the second and third quests, the difficulty may increase slightly, adding more riddles or challenges that require teamwork, observation, or creativity. For example, one challenge could be taking a photo of a specific storefront or performing a quick task like mimicking a statue’s pose.
Timing is flexible, but if you opt for the 2-hour challenge, you’ll want to keep an eye on your clock. The game doesn’t stop once the time runs out; you can continue playing as long as you like, which means you can relax or push yourself further to beat your best score.
The ending point is back at your starting location, where you can compare scores, share laughs, and reflect on your discoveries. The leaderboard gives everyone a chance to see how they stacked up against other teams across the country, adding a fun competitive edge.
