A Festive Start to Our Adventure

As a family travel writer, I’m always on the lookout for unique and engaging activities that can bring families closer together. When I heard about the Holly Jolly Hunt in Kamloops, I knew it was something my family and I had to experience. The idea of a holiday-themed scavenger hunt sounded like the perfect way to kick off the festive season, and I was eager to see how it would unfold.

We arrived in Kamloops on a crisp December morning, the air filled with the scent of pine and the promise of snow. My husband, our two kids, and I were all bundled up in our warmest winter gear, ready to embark on this holiday adventure. The Holly Jolly Hunt is played using an app on your smartphone, which made it incredibly convenient for us to dive right in. With the app downloaded and our spirits high, we set off on our merry quest.

The city was alive with holiday decorations, and the app guided us to various locations where we had to find both traditional and non-traditional holiday items. From candy canes to quirky ornaments, each discovery brought a new wave of excitement. The kids were particularly thrilled when they spotted a giant inflatable snowman, earning us extra points on the leaderboard.

Laughter and Holiday Cheer

One of the highlights of the Holly Jolly Hunt was the series of silly holiday-themed tasks we had to perform along the way. These tasks were designed to bring laughter and smiles, and they certainly delivered. At one point, we found ourselves singing carols in front of a local café, much to the amusement of passersby. Another task had us posing for a family photo with a group of carolers, which turned out to be a delightful memory captured forever.

The app kept us engaged with its interactive features, and the competitive aspect of trying to score as many points as possible added an extra layer of fun. Our kids, being the energetic explorers they are, took charge of the map and led us from one location to the next. It was heartwarming to see them work together, strategizing on how to maximize our points and climb the leaderboard.

As we continued our hunt, we encountered other families participating in the event. It was wonderful to see so many people coming together to enjoy the holiday spirit. The camaraderie and shared laughter made the experience even more special, and it was a reminder of the joy that comes from spending quality time with loved ones.

Creating Unforgettable Memories

By the end of the day, we were all pleasantly exhausted but filled with a sense of accomplishment. The Holly Jolly Hunt had not only provided us with a day of fun and laughter but also created lasting memories that we would cherish for years to come. It was a perfect blend of adventure, holiday cheer, and family bonding.

For those of you planning a trip to Kamloops or looking for a unique holiday activity, I highly recommend giving the Holly Jolly Hunt a try. It’s a fantastic way to explore the city, engage with the local community, and immerse yourself in the festive spirit. Plus, it’s suitable for all ages, making it an ideal choice for families looking to create unforgettable holiday memories.

As we drove back home, the kids were already talking about the next scavenger hunt adventure they wanted to embark on. It was clear that the Holly Jolly Hunt had left a lasting impression on all of us, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate the holiday season with my family.
