St. Augustine Scavenger Hunt
$0.99 · In‑App Purchases
Historic walking tours of St. Augustine — solve clues, check in by GPS, and unlock the city's 460-year story one stop at a time.
St. Augustine is America's oldest city — 460 years of Spanish conquistadors, pirates, fires, revivals, and ghosts, all still standing in a six-block grid you can walk in an afternoon. Tasting Tours turns that walk into a game.
Pick an adventure, follow the map to your first stop, and check in with your phone's GPS to prove you made it. Solve a challenge — a photo, a question, a conversation with an AI historical character who remembers what happened there — and the app unlocks the next stop, plus points, hints, and badges along the way.
More than twenty adventures, built around real places:
• Founding St. Augustine — Menéndez de Avilés, the 1565 landing, and the oldest fort that never fell
• Pirates & Privateers — the raids, the ransoms, the coastal defenses built to stop them
• Fortifications & Defenders — three empires' worth of walls and gates
• Doors, Windows & Balconies — the city read through its architecture
• Lincolnville: A Freedom Neighborhood — the civil rights history written into these streets
• Food history, faith, hidden animals, romantic walks, and a seasonal Christmas Nights of Lights route
Built for walking, not scrolling:
• Real GPS check-ins — no cheating your way to the next stop
• Photo challenges, trivia, and branching conversations with AI characters tied to the history of each spot
• Hints when you're stuck, points and badges when you're not
• Works solo, with a team, or as a guest — no account required to start playing
• Offline-friendly, so a weak signal in an old fort doesn't stop the game
One tour is free to try. Most adventures are a one-time $7.99 unlock — no subscription.
Ratings & Reviews
Improved sign-in: Apple and Google sign-in are more reliable, and Apple sign-in now stays in the app instead of opening a browser.
The home screen now greets you by name once you're signed in, and you'll see a confirmation when you sign in, create an account, or delete one.
Added password confirmation and a show/hide toggle when creating an account.
Added a quick link to thetastingtours.com from the main menu.
Updated tour descriptions for two adventures to better reflect their historic content.
Various bug fixes and improvements.
