About UrbanFox
UrbanFox was created to make exploring more memorable, interactive, and fun. We believe that the best way to experience a place is to truly engage with it.
Why It Exists
We wanted to turn locations into playful, shared experiences where clues, conversation, movement, and discovery come together in a simple adventure. UrbanFox is designed for:
- Locals looking for a fresh perspective on their home.
- Visitors wanting to discover more than just the standard sights.
- Friends, couples, and families seeking an engaging group activity.
- Teams looking for a collaborative way to connect.
The Goal
The goal is simple: to help you notice more, laugh more, and remember more of the places you explore.
The Journey Ahead
UrbanFox is starting small right here in Queenstown, but we are focused on growing. As we refine the experience, we may expand to new locations, bringing more adventures to more people over time.
