LA Reconnaissance (LA Recon) is an LA based scavenger hunt company, formed by Kimberly Olpin and Amy Trulock. Teams of 2-4 people solve challenging clues that lead them around LA neighborhoods where they must perform tasks and answer questions. They are fun, silly, and informative adventures which focus on discovering LA’s hidden treasures: historical, folklore, quirky, obscure, and occasionally off the beaten path.
LA Recon was started after Kim and Amy created a crazy adventure for their friends on the occasion of Kim’s 30th birthday. Both are Southern California natives who love to explore and find unique events and places. Kim decided she wanted to share some of her favorite discoveries with her friends, so together they created a day long adventure encompassing Hollywood and downtown LA. After a very successful Birthday hunt, they decided the plan more in different places around the city. Now they are opening their hunts to the public to show off the city they love.
