Event Details:

We’re adapting our beloved Great Boston Scavenger Hunt to fit social distancing precautions and holding 2-3 compact versions this Summer and Fall!

Want to get outside? Looking for a fun way to reunite with friends or make new friends? Love Boston? Join Us!!

Play with friends, or ask to join an existing team to make new friends! (Team size is 4 people) You’ll solve clues to find favorite landmarks and interesting places in Boston. Take a team photo in front of your answer, and then it’s on to your next challenge. The first team to complete all 15 challenges correctly wins!

In September we’ll focus on Back Bay, and Beacon Hill.

In October we’ll focus on the North End and Downtown.
