Charleston Trivia Hunt Assistance

Thank you for participating in Traveling Ink's Downtown Trivia Hunt to benefit Camp Happy Days! Below, please find helpful information on the Charleston hunts.

Trivia Hunt Time Frame and Distance
One-Hour Trivia Hunt
This trivia hunt is more compact, with stops staying primarily in the downtown commercial district closer to the open-air Charleston City Market. The hunt completion time is an estimate. The actual completion time will depend on the individual or individuals completing the hunt and may run shorter or longer than one hour. The approximate distance is slightly less than one mile.

Two-Hour Trivia Hunt
This hunt branches further into the residential district heading south toward the battery and back toward the Charleston City Market. As in the shorter hunt, the time of completion is an estimate. The actual time needed to complete the hunt will vary from party to party. The approximate distance for this hunt is two miles.

Why do I need to include my phone number at purchase?
The phone number you enter during purchase should be for the cell phone you'd like to use to complete the trivia hunt. Your trivia hunt questions will be texted to this number.

What if I need to stop or delay the trivia hunt following my purchase?

Do Text and or Data Rates Apply?
Text and data rates may apply depending on each participants individual carrier and plan.

I have a group of four people. Do we all need to purchase the hunt?
Participants will need to purchase the hunt for as many cell phones as they'd like to run the hunt. For example, if your group of four would like to split up into teams of two, you'll want to purchase two hunts (one on each separate team members cellualar device). Or, if everyone in your party would like to have the hunt on their device, the group is welcome to purchase four hunts. However, if the group will be staying together the whole time, only one participate need purchase the hunt if preferable.

Am I allowed to use my phone's applications to help me on the trivia hunt?
Yes. Please use whatever is helpful to you to complete the hunt. Each of the questions has multiple choice options, so a browser will not be necessary to answer, but it may help you answer them on the first try! Your phone's GPS may also be helpful, but is not necessary.

I have a question that hasn't been answered above. Where can I get help?
If you still need assistance or have a question that hasn't been addressed above, please call 843-633-1338.

Client Testimonials

  • A Charleston resident suggested a Traveling Ink concierge might be able to help me. It didn’t take long for me to realize that this was one of the best pieces of advice I could have received. My friends thought I was an organizational wizard even though I kept telling them it was Traveling Ink, not me.

    ~ Nicky H.
  • We so enjoyed our time in Charleston. Thank you for all your insight! I am recommending your services to everyone I know who is traveling to Charleston!

    ~Kathryn C.
  • Traveling Ink planned the three full days we would have in Charleston, how we would get from one place to another, places to eat, and what the costs would be. To add to the challenge, we had to change the day of one of the main attractions because rain had been predicted. They handled all the changes with out missing a step.

    ~ Harriett H.
  • These Charleston pros do a phenomenal job in any setting. Audra was our point person and is a pleasure to work with. She is laid back and can work with any request.
