Complete Frustration— Avoid Completely
I recently purchased one of their Scavenger Hunts. It was our intention to use it on Friday, June 12, for their Hunt in Cornwall, Ontario. We had travelled there from Ottawa to celebrate our Grandson’s 9th birthday.
After trying and failing to start the Hunt, we gave up. Our grandson was very disappointed, and I was most frustrated. Last year we used and enjoyed the Hunt in Smithsfalls, so we are familiar with the product.
I kept getting the error message, that my Voucher had been redeemed.
The live chat told me that my Voucher was still valid and that I should try to re-enter it. After 5 failed attempts, I asked to speak to a person. I was then given a link back to Live Chat. This was not helpful.
Our birthday present of the Hunt, was a complete bust.
I wrote directly to Charlie, one of the founders, and got no response. Customer Service, was quick to respond, but simply repeated the Live Chat advise, that I should simply try yet again.
I not only have a disappointed grandson, but I also have a Voucher which I am unable to use, and Let’s Roam refuses to provide a refund.

Hi,
Thank you for sharing your experience. We are very sorry to hear that your grandson's birthday celebration did not go as planned and understand how disappointing and frustrating that must have been, especially after traveling to Cornwall and having previously enjoyed one of our hunts.
Based on your review, it appears there may have been an issue with the voucher redemption status in the app. While our team attempted to assist through chat and email, we clearly fell short of providing the timely resolution you needed on the day of your event, and we sincerely apologize for that experience.
We would like the opportunity to investigate your voucher and account further to determine what occurred and see what options may be available to help make this right. Please reach out to us directly at [email protected] with the email address associated with your purchase and reference your Trustpilot review so our team can locate your case quickly.
We appreciate your feedback, as it helps us identify areas where we need to improve both our platform and customer support processes. We hope to have the chance to restore your confidence in Let's Roam.
Best,
Let's Roam Support

Do not waste your money
Do not waste your money - it's not worth event he £8.50 I paid. Terrible user experience in none of the attractions were open, the special place of interest was a tiny local library, then just pubs. We paused the game for a drink and a bite to eat and it timed us out so we never got to complete the course. No refund offered and shocking service from an AI robot. Don't bother!!!!

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations.

We also apologize if your interaction with support left you feeling unheard. While we use automated tools to assist with common questions, our team is always available to review concerns and provide personalized assistance when needed.

Paid $80 for an AI-generated hunt no one bothered to fact-check.
Update: We tried a Questo scavenger hunt despite dramatic protestation from the kids after the frustration we all felt during the Let’s Roam hunt. The Questo hunt was great! Engaging story, directions and clues were accurate, challenges involved the place we were actually in, and there was lots of information provided. Try QUESTO…not Let’s Roam.
We paid $80 for history hunts that read like AI-generated content no one bothered to verify. The Dubrovnik hunt describes a fountain with four gargoyles — the actual fountain is a satyr with a sheep. A later stop requires a €40/person entrance fee with no warning in the app. The challenges have nothing to do with the place you are currently in. Their is little to no actual
information about the place you are supposed to be discovering. Basic stuff.
When I reported it, I got a form apology, a link to their no-refund policy, and a request to help them improve their content. I paid them $80. I’m not their unpaid QA team.
Great concept. Poor execution. No accountability. Spend your travel budget elsewhere.
Update: The reply posted below is the same lip service I received during 4 different attempts to communicate errors and an unsatisfactory product to their customer service. It doesn’t change the fact that they provided a a product that did not do what it was supposed to ( the entrance fee being a minor omission, not the base problem) without an offer for tangible compensation in the form of a refund. Even SHEIN is more ethical.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're sorry to hear that the hunt did not meet your expectations.
Accuracy is important to us, and we appreciate you bringing the fountain description to our attention. We regularly review and update our hunts, and feedback like yours helps us identify content that may need correction or additional review.
We're also sorry that the entrance fee requirement came as a surprise. We understand how frustrating it can be to encounter unexpected costs during an activity, and we'll review whether that information can be communicated more clearly within the hunt experience.
We recognize your frustration with the support interaction as well. While customer feedback is valuable in helping us maintain and improve our content, we understand that you purchased the experience expecting it to be ready to enjoy, not to identify issues on our behalf.
Our goal is to create engaging, self-guided adventures that help travelers explore destinations in a unique way, and we're disappointed that we fell short in your case. Thank you for your candid feedback, and we will use it to improve both our content and customer experience moving forward.

Everything was awful
Everything was awful. App wouldn't load for us. When it finally did, it was not relevant to the area. And we didn't realise it was under a time restriction, so it timed out without us finish. Absolutely rubbish. Don't waste your money.
Reply from Let's Roam2026-06-04
Hi,
We're very sorry to hear that your experience was so frustrating. The app should load smoothly and provide accurate, location-specific content, so we understand how disappointing it must have been when that wasn't the case.
Regarding the timer, our hunts are designed to be completed at your own pace, and most experiences can be resumed if interrupted. It sounds like something may not have worked as intended during your adventure.
We'd appreciate the opportunity to investigate what happened and make things right. Please reach out to us at [email protected] with the email address associated with your booking and any details about the hunt you purchased. Our team will be happy to review the issue and assist further.

Dreadful customer service
I purchased a scavenger hunt for the town of Southwold in Suffolk (£40.00). When we got there, we found out that the town has serious WIFI/G4/G5 connectivity issues which have been reported to the county council by residents and business alike for over 2 years. On the day we visited there was no signal on anything so could not use the hunt App. It was hot bank holiday with hundreds of day trippers and nobody could even pay for parking (also app based). I find it very unprofessional of Let’s Roam not to know about this issue in Southwold, especially as they make money from selling an App based scavenger hunt for the town. They did not even publish a warning about Southwold connectivity. How appropriate their terms and conditions have ‘circumstances outside their control’ yet still they allow the Southwold map to be purchased. After contacting Let's Roam - No refund possible!
In my view, a blatant con and would not recommend Let's Roam to anyone.
Reply from Let's Roam2026-05-28
We’re very sorry to hear about your experience in Southwold and understand how frustrating this must have been, especially on a busy bank holiday. Connectivity issues can unfortunately impact app-based activities, and we appreciate you taking the time to share these details. We certainly never want guests to feel disappointed or unable to enjoy their adventure. Your feedback regarding clearer warnings for areas with known signal challenges has been shared with our team for review.
If you would be open to it, please reach out to us at [email protected] so our team can take another look at your experience and provide further assistance. We truly appreciate your feedback and are sorry we did not meet your expectations on this occasion.
A fun experience. Good for a teenager plus parent. Mobile signal was a bit hit and miss in the location which meant uploading photos was frustrating from time to time and sometimes the questions you had to answer said you answered incorrectly initially, when you didn't, but it soon corrected itself.
Reply from Let's Roam2026-05-26
Thank you for the thoughtful review! We’re so glad you and your teenager had a fun experience together. We also appreciate you pointing out the mobile signal and answer validation issues. In some locations, connectivity can definitely affect photo uploads, and we understand how frustrating that can be. Your feedback helps us continue improving the experience, and we’re happy to hear the answers corrected themselves shortly after. Thanks again for joining the adventure with us!
Thanks for joining the hunt! We’re glad you enjoyed exploring the area and getting out for a good walk. Hope you discovered some fun spots along the way, and we’d love to have you back for another adventure soon!

Stay Away from this scam app!
If you’re looking to waste money and test your patience, Let’s Roam is perfect.
Prepaid tickets? Useless. The app wouldn’t let us start, so we were effectively forced to buy another ticket just to begin. Nothing says “great customer experience” like paying twice for the same thing.
Adding a friend? Also broken. So much for a “social” activity — we ended up sharing one phone like it’s 2005.
The app itself is a masterpiece of poor design: slow, glitchy, crashes constantly, and drains your battery for good measure. It feels less like a finished product and more like an abandoned beta.
At best, this is incompetence. At worst, it feels deliberately set up to push you into spending more just to make it work.
Requested a refund — not holding my breath.
Save your time, save your money, and avoid.

Hi,
We’re sorry to hear about your experience and appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback.
What you’ve described regarding prepaid tickets, starting the activity, and adding a friend is not the experience we intend to deliver. If you were prompted to purchase an additional ticket or were unable to access your original purchase, that should not have happened, and we’d like to investigate this right away.
We also understand your frustration with the app performance and stability. Crashes, lag, and difficulty using core features like social play are not acceptable and are being actively worked on by our team.
We take concerns about billing, access, and app reliability very seriously. Please reach out to [email protected]
with your order details so we can review what happened and work toward a resolution, including any duplicate charges if applicable.
Sincerely,
Let’s Roam Team

Faulty checkout process charged me…
Faulty checkout process charged me twice. Enquired about a refund and was told it wasn’t possible. It has really soured the whole thing which looked like something I could enjoy doing regularly as I travel a lot. I don’t even feel like using the original two tickets I bought now.
Reply from Let's Roam2026-04-30
Hi there,
We’re really sorry to hear about your experience—that’s understandably frustrating, especially when you were looking forward to using this while traveling.
Being charged twice is definitely not the experience we want for our customers, and we’re concerned to hear you were told a refund wasn’t possible. That doesn’t sound right, and we’d really like to take another look at this for you.
Please reach out to us at [email protected] with your booking details and any screenshots or references of the duplicate charges. We’ll escalate this with our team right away and do everything we can to make it right.
We truly appreciate you giving us a try, and we hope we can turn this around for you.

Technical difficulties meant no hunt and there is no support at all
This is a very disappointing experience and I would strongly recommend that you don't waste your money on one of their scavenger hunts. I pre-paid for a hunt in the Icelandic town of Akureyri. I created an account and applied the code so that I was all ready to start the hunt when we arrived. We located the start point and I was there with my phone but when I tried to sign into my existing account (I tried with both my phone number and email sign in details) it just created a new account. Hence, when I went to start the hunt, it said that my voucher was already applied. There was no way to get to my original account with the valid voucher and the 'help' function was offline due to the time difference (trying to do an activity anywhere other than the US is going to be problematic if you need help). We only had that one afternoon to do the hunt and so will never know if it was any good or not as my only option was to pay for the whole experience again and I didn't want to do that, having paid already. Just as well in hindsight, as there is zero customer support from this company - all my emails have been ignored and I am currently pursuing a refund via my credit card company. Avoid at all costs and pick a downloadable walking tour from a reputable company instead as this outfit is a scam - they take your money and leave you high and dry when you need them. Very disappointing indeed.

Hi there,
We’re really sorry this happened, especially since you only had a limited time in Akureyri to enjoy the hunt. That’s incredibly frustrating, and we completely understand why this left such a negative impression.
What you experienced sounds like an account mismatch issue, where signing in with a different method (phone vs. email) can accidentally create a second account. When that happens, the voucher can appear as already used even though it’s tied to the original login. That’s absolutely not the experience we want for our customers.
We also want to clarify that support is available outside of U.S. hours, but we recognize that not being able to reach someone immediately in that moment made things much worse, and that’s on us to improve. For real time support, you can also use the live chat available on our website.
We’d really like to make this right for you. It’s not our intention to leave anyone without help, and your emails should not have gone unanswered. Please reach out to us at [email protected]
with the details of your booking, or resend your original message, and we’ll prioritize your case right away. We can help recover your original account and ensure your ticket is usable.
Again, we’re very sorry for the inconvenience and disappointment caused here. We truly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, and we’d value the chance to resolve it for you.

Very misleading experience
Very misleading experience, all the tasks were generic and had nothing to do with the local area and involved mainly taking selfies or were pointless like "see if you can find 5 different pizza restaurants" in a town that doesn't even have one (not that you would want to waste time looking for 5 pizza restaurants to snap on your phone.)
We thought this was going to be a hunt with a guide or something but no this is purely and app that gives very poorly thought out activities and with zero money going back in to the local economy of the town you are visiting.
Avoid like the plague!

Hi, thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear this experience didn’t meet your expectations.
Our scavenger hunts are designed as self-guided, app-based activities meant to encourage exploration, light challenges, and photo-based tasks you can complete at your own pace. They are different from a guided tour, so we’re sorry if that wasn’t clear before you started.
We also understand your concern about the local relevance of some tasks. The experience is designed to work across many locations, but we hear your feedback that it felt generic in this case and not well aligned with the town you visited. That’s not the experience we want for our customers, and we will share this with our content team for review.
If you’d like to discuss your experience further, feel free to reach out to us at [email protected]. We appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts, it helps us improve.
