About this experience

Get ready for an exciting and brain-teasing adventure through the vibrant streets of Reykjavik. Join us for the Reykjavik Quiz Scavenger Hunt, where technology, local knowledge, and a dash of competitive spirit come together for a one-of-a-kind experience. Explore the city’s hidden gems, answer fun and challenging questions, and put your teamwork to the test as you race against time and other teams. It’s the perfect blend of excitement, discovery, and friendly competition.

Your adventure begins when your team meets our enthusiastic Game Host at Arnarhóli, where the game begins by scanning a QR code. From there, the interactive fun starts. As you navigate Reykjavik’s city center, new questions and challenges will unlock, keeping you engaged and on your toes. The game area is mapped around the city’s most iconic spots, allowing you to explore Reykjavik’s highlights while testing your knowledge and problem-solving skills. It’s a perfect way to experience the city and enjoy a thrilling challenge.

How It All Works

Meet & GreetYour adventure begins at Arnarhóli, where our Game Host will excitedly greet your group. The host will explain the rules and divide you into teams. Team sizes are flexible, allowing you to organize based on your group’s preferences. Each team will have a leader who controls the game through their phone, and to add some fun, the teams will be color-coded or named after Norwegian gods. This adds an extra layer of creativity and team spirit.

Game LaunchOnce the QR code is scanned, the scavenger hunt officially begins. As you move through Reykjavik, your phone will reveal spots marked with “?” on the map. When you reach these spots, multiple-choice questions about Icelandic history, culture, and Reykjavik’s hidden gems will unlock, testing your knowledge along the way.

Interactive ChallengesIn addition to quiz questions, your Game Host will send interactive tasks during the game. These could include taking creative photos, completing fun challenges, or even composing short poems. Completing these tasks earns your team extra points and brings a creative flair to the experience.

Unique PerksTeams can also access unique perks to take your strategy to the next level. Gain the upper hand by dropping virtual bombs on opposing teams, freezing their progress, or unleashing other surprises. These perks make the game even more competitive and thrilling.

Battle RoyaleStep into live battle royale gameplay. A shrinking circle will appear on the map as you navigate through Reykjavik. Stay within the circle to avoid losing points, adding a layer of urgency to the adventure.

Customization

Our game is browser-based and fully customizable, making it the perfect fit for team building, corporate events, and more. It’s designed to be easily accessible on most mobile browsers, ensuring a smooth experience for all participants. Whether you’re looking to bring your team together with a fun, educational challenge or planning a unique corporate event, the Reykjavik City Quiz Scavenger Hunt offers a versatile platform that can be altered to meet your group’s specific needs.

The game is fully customizable. We can tailor the questions and tasks to include topics specific to your group, company, or interests, making the scavenger hunt more engaging and relevant to your team.

The game is available in either English or Icelandic, making it accessible to all participants.

The game’s length is flexible, allowing it to fit within your schedule. Whether your group has 60, 90, or more minutes, we’ll adjust the experience to ensure everyone enjoys every moment.

If the weather cancels this tour

Iceland's weather is real. What usually stops this one is a forecast the operator judges unsafe. Here is exactly what happens to your booking.

  1. 1Your Friend in Reykjavik decides, and tells us. Operators cancel when it is unsafe or pointless, and we back that call every time — we do not ask them to run anyway.
  2. 2We contact you by email, and by phone if your tour is the same or next day. You choose: another date if there is one you can make, or a full refund. There is no fee and nothing to argue.
  3. 3The refund goes back to the card you paid with, through Stripe, usually visible within a few working days. If this tour was one of several in your booking, the others are untouched.

What you do not get is the day back. If this is the only free day in your plan, put a spare day next to it — the planner leaves days free with the rest-day option. And if you want out because the forecast looks bad, that is your own cancellation: free until 1 day before departure, the operator's policy after that.

    We had a great time on our Iceland Folklore tour. Our guide was Einar. He was a fantastic storyteller!! Hidden people/elves, trolls and ghost stories - and a lot of Icelandic history. Thank you Einar!!

    Petra was an incredible guide. We asked her to show us as much as she could before taking our crazy family of 10 to the airport for our flights to three different cities ! First stop was the beautiful church in downtown Reykjavik that had just opened with an organ recital. Next stop a lovely spot and observation sight overlooking the city by the Pearl. Cold and wet she found us a lovely coffee shop with the best pastries for a welcome mid morning rest next to the sea. Back in the van we drove for a bit before having the opportunity to explore a geothermal field on our way to the airport. A perfect day and ending to our time in Iceland. Petra shared alot of history and information from the perspective of a local which we all appreciated and enjoyed!
