The cold air clips your cheeks as storefront lights begin to lean in toward the sidewalk, daring you to find the next holiday clue. Teams scatter across blocks of Madison, phones raised, hunting for ornaments, quirky decorations and small seasonal rituals the app has tucked into the city map.
Holly Jolly Hunt uses a location-aware app to turn downtown streets and neighborhood pockets into a gameboard. The format borrows from classic city treasure hunts: picture tasks, timed challenges and local prompts that highlight public art, historic storefronts and community traditions. In Madison, those prompts often point toward the Capitol Square, neighborhood murals, or a coffee shop that swaps its sign for winter jokes.
Madison’s grid and lakeshore history make it a compact, walkable stage — ice-scoured sidewalks in winter, tree-canopied routes in summer. The game is private and remote-guided: players receive start instructions through Viator and the app, then race a leaderboard while a chat feature provides support.
Practical guidance: plan for about 60 minutes of casual walking, bring a fully charged phone and a portable charger, and choose footwear with good traction for slick sidewalks. Public transport is nearby and strollers are manageable on major routes. The operator requires a 24-hour cancellation window and supplies remote support during business hours.
For groups, the hunt is a low-effort, high-fun option that blends local discovery with friendly competition. It’s ideal for families, coworkers or friends who want a quick outdoor outing without logistics-heavy planning.
Standard games are approximately 60 minutes, but you can go at your own pace if the area permits.
No — the experience is app-based and starts from a recommended location; you'll get start instructions via Viator and in-app messages.

Contact the organizer at 843-580-4028 or use their customer support page; the app also provides remote chat assistance during business hours.
