Hi and thanks for reading more about me!

My name is Ben Hoffman. I live in a small community outside of Atlanta, Georgia.

My Story

Lovely humans of the universe, welcome!

I am so happy you decided to stop by. Over the last 20 years, I have been blessed with so many amazing people and experiences in my life, and I am so, so grateful, thank you for being a part of it.

My journey with games started long before cityHUNT. Growing up after my family’s move from Italy, I found myself naturally creating play experiences wherever I went.

Family gatherings became opportunities for improvised games, and neighborhood kids would gather in my yard, where I’d orchestrate playful adventures using whatever we had available. This innate drive to create joy through interactive experiences planted the seeds for what would later become my life’s work.

During my college years, a chance experience with a simple scavenger hunt showed me how powerful structured play could be for bringing people together. What began as experimenting with pub crawl activities evolved into something much more meaningful. I saw potential beyond just entertainment – a way to foster genuine human connection and workplace transformation through thoughtfully designed experiences.

My interest in creating meaningful experiences led me to study what actually makes people happy and connected. I dove into research on well-being, explored wisdom traditions from different cultures, and tested these principles in real-world settings. These explorations shaped cityHUNT into more than just an event company – it became a vehicle for spreading positivity and strengthening communities.

In Feb. 2019, I had a moment in time that changed my life forever, this moment of clarity gave me the gift of fresh vision which caused me to re-evaluate everything. During that time I shut down almost my social media, outside media, and became very conscious of what I was consuming and what I was creating.

Now I am slowly turning the creation part back on, I am currently working on a book, which has been 6 years in the making (Scavenger Hunt For The Soul).

The book, my talks, social media etc… will focus on how to:

  • Connect with yourself
  • Connect with others
  • Connect with nature/world

I invite you to journey with me as I open up my cardigan (IE give you full access to my life and heart) to share with you all the tools, practices, rituals, and experiences that made this all possible.

The principles that transformed my health, business, and outlook can be applied by anyone seeking more meaning and connection. I believe creating awesome experiences for others is both the means and the end – it’s how we build the kind of world we all want to live in.
