Swoop Scoop

You’ve debated who would be your teammate on “The Amazing Race,” but might strangle anyone while going through death-defying tasks and trying to figure out brain-numbing clues. Maybe you should scale it down to size first with today’s Swoop: $15 for one team urban scavenger hunt from UrbanQuest (a $32 value).

While it might not be a race for a million dollars, you can still get your racing fix with an urban quest in the United States. All you have to do is download the clue package and hit the streets. Once you pick your quest, you’ll get two hours from launch time to get to the mystery restaurant, where you already have a reservation waiting. But you’ll only make it in time if you figure out a plethora of clues and puzzles that will take you throughout the city. Chicago alone has four different quests: Lincoln Park, the Adler Planetarium, the Theatre District and Chicago City Link. You can also choose from major cities like New York, Boston, San Francisco, Washington D.C., Nashville and more. If you’re on vacation it’s the perfect way to explore the city and try a new restaurant out. The meal isn’t included, but they make the reservation at a specific time so you have something you’re racing for. Plus, it’s a great reward after your adventure. You can also choose a quest for fun option to get rid of any stress and go at your own pace. Or choose a two-hour countdown without the reservation. They recommend two to four people per team, but there’s no limit. You can swoop as many as you’d like to create multiple teams and race against each other or to go on quests in multiple cities. So swoop in on today's deal to start your amazing race.
