The pier glows with string lights and the ocean seems to dare you closer as your phone pings: the Hunt has begun. Strollers, surfboards and holiday wreaths pass in a single frame while downtown storefronts and palm-lined streets become checkpoints. The app nudges teams toward photo challenges, playful dares and points that climb the leaderboard as laughter threads through the salt air.
Huntington Beach started as a modest coastal settlement that grew into a surf-centered town; its broad beaches are built on Holocene sand deposits shaped by longshore drift and seasonal swells. During the holidays the city’s commercial corridors trade surf lore for community traditions — tree lightings, small-parade energy and locally produced shop displays that give the scavenger hunt its inventory of ‘traditional and not-so-traditional’ items.
Expect quick bursts of urban walking on flat sidewalks and beach promenades, with intermittent crowds around the pier and Main Street. The activity balances sight-seeing with light competition: photographic prompts, simple performance tasks and local trivia that reward curiosity as much as speed.
Practical guidance: download and test the Holly Jolly Hunt app before you start, bring a fully charged phone and portable battery, and pick a start time outside peak traffic for easier parking and faster picture-taking. Teams of 2–6 work best for both mobility and scoring. The experience is stroller- and pet-friendly, accessible by public transit, and lasts roughly an hour — long enough to feel like an outing, short enough to fit into a holiday afternoon.
You’ll receive instructions via Viator before your booking with a recommended start location and a link to begin the app-based game; no in-person meet-up is required.
Yes — the hunt is designed for all ages, stroller accessible, and features tasks that range from simple finds to silly challenges suitable for families.
