What Is the Holy City Wanderer?

We've all experienced that sinking feeling when a corporate "teambuilder" gets announced. Employees dread the forced small talk and bizarre improv scenarios they’re compelled to do with colleagues they barely know. It's the epitome of awkwardness and does very little to build team unity and camaraderie.

That’s where the Holy City Wanderer Scavenger Hunt by On Purpose Adventures comes in.

  • On Purpose is a well run operation that allowed our group to gain insights into Charlestons storied history while exploring the city on foot in an effort to complete the Holy City Wanderer scavenger hunt and win our Company Challenge. The technology was very user friendly and helped to improve the overall experience with fun challenges, some involving taking pictures and videos with our team. Definitely a memorable experience and one that I would recommend!

  • The scavenger hunt around Charleston was a great experience. My competitive side kicked in when we were divided into groups and had to race around downtown Charleston to solve clues. It was not like any other scavenger hunt I had ever done before. I had to rely on my teammates with their knowledge and skills to assist with figuring out the locations of places in Charleston. I learned so much about Charleston that I did not know before after the scavenger hunt was over. My team did not win but I had a tremendous amount of fun. I would participate in this scavenger hunt with On Purpose Adventures again if I had the opportunity.

  • On Purpose truly helped to make our global summit a massive success. I have no hesitation when saying it was the definitive highlight of the week. The impact of what they did has gone so far beyond our summit [...] the lines of communication and sense of camaraderie have vastly improved.
