Adventure Hunt Scavenger Hunt Update | Shark Tank Season 10

Sean and Jared Bingham were planning a family trip when they noticed most group activities were boring and too predictable. They wanted something more fun and active that people would actually enjoy. So they came up with Adventure Hunt, a real-life treasure hunt where teams use an app to complete fun challenges and win prizes. Will the sharks get behind this adventurous idea? Let’s find out in our Adventure Hunt update and pitch recap.

If you’re short on time, here’s a quick overview of what happened to Adventure Hunt after Shark Tank.

Jared and Sean pitched their entertainment business on Shark Tank Season 10, seeking $150,000 for 10% equity. After their pitch, they made a deal with Robert Herjavec for $150,000 and 20% equity.

In terms of an Adventure Hunt update, the company expanded by partnering with Orangetheory Fitness, Ancestry.com, and Keller Williams for custom events. Since airing, the company has grown to around $1 million in annual revenue.

Shark Tank Adventure Hunt Pitch

• Entrepreneurs: Jared Bingham and Sean Bingham
• Business: Athletics / scavenger hunt
• Ask: $150,000 for 10% equity
• Result: $150,000 for 20% equity
• Shark: Robert Herjavec

Jared and Sean stepped into Shark Tank to pitch Adventure Hunt, an outdoor scavenger hunt experience designed for adults.

Their business creates city-wide adventure races that combine fun challenges, Instagram-based photo tasks, and real prizes like free trips.

Using the Adventure Hunt app, customers join events in teams, complete 10 out of 50 tasks, and upload proof to Instagram for verification.

The experience is sold directly through tiered registration pricing on their website, ranging from $30 to $100. All tiers include a welcome bundle.

The app automates most of the logistics, making the model easy to scale. Since launch, they have generated $769,000 in sales within 18 months, with most sales coming in the current year.

Their customers are mostly young adults, couples, and groups looking for a fun and competitive way to explore their cities. So far, the people who try it out love it.

However, the brothers now need a marketing expert to help them see what they’re missing. 

Guest shark Bethenny Frankel chimes in and says she knows exactly what they’re missing.

She pushed for them to expand into themed travel experiences, easier challenges for hesitant users, and corporate team-building.

She then offered $150,000 for 25% equity with those conditions. Further, Bethenny wants the brothers to partner with a dating service, so this can be used for that aspect as well.

Robert Herjavec matched the offer, focusing more on helping with corporate structure and marketing.

Mark Cuban passed, citing a conflict of interest with Rugged Maniac. Daymond John and Lori Greiner also opted out, saying the concept wasn’t a fit for them.

Sean and Jared then ask Robert and Bethenny if either of them would come down from 25% equity.

Bethenny quickly says she’ll do it at 20% equity, but she wants an immediate answer.

Just then, Robert also comes down to 20%, matching Bethenny again.

Again, the brothers try to haggle them both down, to no avail, but they eventually take Robert’s deal.

They believed his marketing experience made him a better partner.

Was that the right decision in the end? Keep reading our Adventure Hunt update to find out.

Shark Tank Adventure Hunt Update

According to our Adventure Hunt update, Sean and Jared finalized the deal with Robert.

As agreed, the company expanded down the pathway that Robert envisioned, developing clients with several companies for these special events.

The company secured clients like Orangetheory Fitness, Ancestry.com, USAA, and Keller Williams

In 2020, COVID-19 affected their in-person events. To adapt, they introduced virtual treasure hunts.

In 2024, our Adventure Hunt update found that the business recovered and was generating around $1 million in annual revenue.

At the time of this writing, Adventure Hunt is still active and continuing to grow.

Sean Bingham has shifted focus to a new startup called Tripio, a travel planning app, but still owns part of Adventure Hunt.

Give it a look to see if there’s a scavenger hunt in your city, or to customize your own, on the Adventure Hunt website.
