Surprising Journeys

Surprising Journeys is a new line of mystery trips from Journeys International launching in spring 2024. Surprising Journeys is a unique blend of mystery, adventure, connection, and cultural immersion. Embark on a journey where only the start and end are known, and the rest is revealed through engaging group challenges. Dive into a world where every step is a playful exploration and a delightful challenge. In 2022, we brought to you Competitours, a team-based competitive mystery trip (like “The Amazing Race”) organized with a partner operator. Now, we’re unveiling another new Journeys International-crafted tour product that similarly features a mystery itinerary but takes the trip to a different level of interpersonal connection through group collaboration on cultural challenges for daily discovery.
