How it works

Your hunt will begin at the starting point for whichever event you choose (try one or both!). You can come by during the listed times, and make sure you bring your smartphone! Your journey will begin with a clue that will take you to the first item/location on your scavenger hunt. At each location, scan the QR code and answer the question correctly to get the clue to the next location. Don’t forget, everyone who finishes the entire scavenger hunt gets a prize!

How do I scan a QR code?

  • Most iPhone users can simply open the camera app on their phone and hold it in front of the QR code as if taking a picture. Tap the notification that appears. If you have and older version of iOS, you may need to download a free QR code reader app.
  • Android 8, 9, and 10 have built-in features within the camera app that allow you to scan QR codes (Note: You may have to activate these features in your device settings.). If you have an older version of Android, download a free QR code reader app. For more information, click here.
