Zoo, Aquarium & Botanical Garden Scavenger Hunts in Atlanta & Savannah

A game, a getaway, an Atlanta team-building adventure

You might feel as if you’re journeying around the world on this scavenger hunt. The Atlanta Botanical Garden has so many types of scenery and settings that you might think it has multiple personalities. Your quest: creative team photos.

On this Atlanta team-building game, one moment you are in a forest of towering trees…the next moment you are in a tranquil garden in Japan…then you find yourself in the desert, surrounded by armed and dangerous cacti…turn a corner and you’re marveling at hungry carnivorous plants stretching skyward in front of the Atlanta skyline…pass roses to have your eyes boggle at an exuberant glass Chihuly sculpture…and wind your way downhill to confront a giant Earth Goddess rising from cascading pools….

Unusual challenges test your teamwork

Along the way you’ll meet with the Hunt Host to do a surprise Bonus Challenge.

Plus your team will need to pause to crack a nature-themed Mystery Message, where solving a puzzle and identifying songs will help you decode a cryptic message.

You don’t need to know anything about plants to win: you just need sharp eyes and comfy shoes.

An International Edition of the scavenger hunt is available for groups with participants whose first language is not English. And the Kids Edition is great for school groups as a field trip scavenger hunt the kids won’t soon forget.

Watch out! There might be a killer behind those flowers…

So you planned a tranquil team-building outing to your local botanical garden? Uh-oh! Turns out someone in your group—possibly on your own team—is a real Jekyll and Hyde, and they’re scheming to leave you pushing up daisies.

Everyone in your group was surreptitiously poisoned, and the clock is ticking. To save yourselves and get the antidote, you must play their game, identify the would-be killer, and prevent your own murder.

The killer has hidden their identity in a series of thorny puzzles, as part of a scavenger hunt at the botanical garden. You’ll be tasked with answering trivia questions, solving interlocking puzzles, deciphering coded messages, and meeting the conditions of tricky photo challenges around the gardens.

Along the way, your team might…

• Tiptoe among the actual tulips.
• Hug the biggest tree you can find.
• Achieve inner peace in a meditation garden.
• Tackle trivia about famous murder mysteries.
• Identify snippets of songs that involve nature.

If your group enjoys escape-room games, they’ll love this botanical garden scavenger hunt. The game will also help you solve the mystery of how to entertain a diverse group of people while boosting morale and teamwork. It’s perfect for a private party or a corporate team-building outing of any size.

A Kids Edition is also available, in which kids age 7 and up work with adults. It’s a great activity for a school field trip, a birthday party, a family reunion, you name it.

Beware: there’s a killer behind that panda…

Your perfectly delightful team-building outing to the zoo is about to be spoiled: someone in your group is plotting to feed you to the lions, or have you hugged by a cobra, or perhaps sat on by a hippo. Because this person—possibly on your own team—is a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde.

This person now challenges you to prevent your own murder. Everyone in your group was fed a deadly venom with your lunch, and the clock is ticking down on your time left to live. To save yourselves and get the antidote, all you have to do is reveal the killer’s identity.

Easy, right? Not so fast: the killer has hidden their identity in a series of puzzles that are part of a scavenger hunt at the zoo. Your team must solve a series of interlocking puzzles, decipher coded messages, and meet the conditions of tricky photo challenges around the zoo.

Along the way, your team might…

• Play monkey see, monkey do with a monkey.
• Blend in with an animal known for camouflage.
• Tackle a trivia quiz about famous murder mysteries.
• Identify snippets of songs that feature animals.
• Twist, and maybe shout, with snakes.

Get in the swim of team-building fun…

…on this unusual whirlwind tour of the Georgia Aquarium. Your group will tackle tricky, funny questions that reveal the best of such exhibits as the Cold Water Quest, Ocean Voyager, Tropical Diver, and River Scout. You’ll not only marvel at exotic sea creatures and unforgettable views through giant glass walls—you’ll also uncover the most bizarre and surprising facts on your quest for scavenger-hunt domination. You’ve never seen the underwater world like this before!

You’ll search for answers to such questions as…

• Visit a giant aquatic mammal whose name sounds like a serving size for an order of caviar. What does it focus its melon on? Answer: The beluga whale has an area in its head called the melon that focuses clicks.
• Find an Asian crustacean that can be as long as a car. If you lived as long as it does, would you collect Social Security? Answer: Yes! The Japanese spider crab can live up to 100 years.
• Find Nemo. You might say, “With friends like him, who needs anemones?” Well, he does, actually, in order to eat…what? Answer: The clown anemonefish eats parasites from anemone.

Didn’t know the answers? Don’t worry: the questions are designed so that clues lead you to the right place to find them. You don’t need to know anything about fish or the aquarium to play—you just need sharp eyes and comfy shoes.

Editions for kids (ages 7 and up) to enjoy with adults are also available for outstanding school field trips, birthday parties, camp outings, and other adventurous occasions.
