We here at Kijubi work very hard to bring you the most exciting activities out there. Sometimes we get so swept up in this search that we end up taking a break and jumping in ourselves. Today was one of those days!

La Vida Laguna is testing out a new local high-tech scavenger hunt in beautiful Laguna Beach, and we were invited to be their guinea pigs. Like any other scavenger hunt we were given clues that led us to more clues, and so on. However, instead of hunting for instructions the traditional way, we searched for special scannable tags and scanned them using our smartphones equipped with the BeeTagg app.

This additional feature provides a completely different aspect to the hunt. In order to compliment text directions, pictures and videos can also be implemented and this increases the interactivity exponentially. In addition to the using the smartphone as a scanner, bonus points are awarded if you manage to complete other high-tech tasks. For example, taking a team picture with at least 12 palm trees in the background.

We think that this is a really a fresh and fun idea. Its amazing how technology can compliment and refresh traditional activities. The number of people carrying smartphones is increasing by the minute and there is are so many innovated ideas floating out there that have yet been implemented. Another fun thought is that the smartphone you’re carrying around in your pocket or purse is many more times powerful than the most powerful personal computer in the mid-nineties!
