Masters of the Hunt

What Masters of the Hunt does

Masters of the Hunt is a privately held, bootstrapped experiential-design firm founded in 2007 and operating primarily from Florida (Miami listing, Orlando-area phone code). The company designs and delivers custom scavenger hunts and tabletop escape experiences for corporate and high-net-worth clients. Deliveries are produced in two formats: traditional paper-based hunts and a proprietary GPS-enabled app platform whose challenges unlock when participants physically arrive at designated locations, supported by specialized sub-products including orientation and onboarding hunts, product and press launch activations, GPS-guided tours, and virtual/remote hunts. Pricing is quote-based per project, with no standardized rates or self-service option, and engagements range from small teams to events exceeding 2,500 participants (documented case studies include a multiple-day training cruise, a $100,000-cash-prize Art Basel activation, and a Paramount new-hire onboarding program).

The go-to-market is consultative and event-driven, relying on direct outreach to enterprise buyers (Fortune 500 marketing, HR, and learning teams), client referrals, case-study marketing, and a mutual referral relationship with sister company Wildly Different. The customer base spans corporate/enterprise, marketing/events, hospitality/resorts, conference organizers, and affluent individuals, with documented marquee engagements for Paramount, Aston Martin, Bowmore Whiskey, EXP Journeys, Asheville Plays!, and an unnamed Fortune 500 financial firm. The company is co-owned by Jane Schuliger and Lisa Jennings, operates with 1-10 employees, and has not raised external capital. Its competitive position rests on creative talent, a 17+ year track record serving elite clientele (including NDA-protected engagements), and proprietary app technology sublicensed to channel partners.
