Mall-based and urban scavenger hunts in the communities around our vacation rentals offer a way to explore local shopping, dining, and entertainment options while having fun as a group. These hunts work especially well during extreme weather when outdoor activities are less appealing.
Shopping District Adventures
Gilbert's Heritage District and Mesa's downtown area both feature walkable shopping and dining districts perfect for urban scavenger hunts. Create a list of challenges that include finding specific menu items, photographing unique storefronts, collecting business cards, or purchasing small themed souvenirs under a budget limit. Teams race to complete the list and return to a designated meeting point.
Prizes from Local Shops
Make the prizes locally sourced—gift cards to restaurants near your vacation rental, treats from a local bakery, or handmade items from a Gilbert boutique. The winning team brings their prizes back to The Max Resort or Peaceful Paradise to share with the group. Urban scavenger hunts double as local exploration, helping your group discover hidden gems near your rental. Find your base camp at LoveYourVacationRental.com.
