Why Miami Parents Are Switching to Digital Scavenger Hunts
Living in or visiting Miami offers endless access to sunshine and nature, from the Art Deco Historic District to the lush trails of Crandon Park. However, most parents face the same struggle: how do you make a walk interesting for a 10-year-old? Traditional sightseeing often leads to complaints of boredom, and organized venues like theme parks can be incredibly expensive and crowded.
Quest-Hero solves this by layering a digital layer of fun over the real world. Using just your smartphone, our platform guides your family through Miami's most iconic outdoor locations, challenging kids to solve riddles, find hidden landmarks, and complete photo challenges. It's the perfect blend of screen time and green time.

"We did the South Pointe Park hunt for my son's 10th birthday. The kids loved competing in teams, and it was so much easier than organizing a party at a venue. Highly recommend for Miami parents!"
- Sofia R., Coral Gables
"I was skeptical about using an app for a nature walk, but it actually made my kids pay MORE attention to the surroundings in Wynwood. They were hunting for clues in the murals instead of dragging their feet."
- Mark D., Visiting from Chicago
"Finally, an outdoor activity in Miami that doesn't cost a fortune. We grabbed some smoothies and played for two hours downtown. It was a blast."
- Jessica L., Miami Beach
What happens if it starts raining during our hunt?
Miami weather can be unpredictable! The great thing about Quest-Hero is that the game is completely flexible. If a sudden storm rolls in, simply pause the game on your phone and take cover. You can resume the adventure exactly where you left off once the sun comes back out.
