About this tour

Turn San Mateo into your game board with a smartphone scavenger hunt built around three quests. At the suggested starting location, begin your two-hour challenge and follow the app as it sets a time limit for each quest.

Each quest combines interactive challenges with fun items to discover around the city. Work through all three before time runs out, form a team with friends or family, or make it a friendly competition. A remote guide stays in touch by text throughout the experience if you need help. Bring your own smartphone and download the scavenger hunt app before you start; starting instructions are provided in the Before You Go section.

Choose your crew, head to the starting point, and see how many quests you can complete. This San Mateo Scavenger Hunt Challenge offers a playful way to explore the city together.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
