Challenge your family to stroll through the historical sites in Boston: crack codes, solve riddles, learn stories, set records and have fun!
About this Event

If you’re tired of just wandering around aimlessly and hoping for the best, then get ready for a city adventure that will blow your mind (just figuratively - we are legally obligated to mention this!)

Learn about historical Boston and its standing in the U.S history of being “first in the nation” to build and enact many things. You’ll see the architecturally beautiful Public Library, historic State House, lush Boston Common, and many more historical sites in Boston.

Are you ready to rediscover Historical Boston?

Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a historian or have any knowledge of historical Boston to play the game. Anyone up for the adventure can do it.

We’ve got puzzles, riddles, and challenges that will make you scratch your head, laugh out loud, and maybe even question your sanity a little bit.

You will also visit cool places in the city and learn their fun or weird stories.

Strap on your walking shoes and let’s hit the streets like a pack of wacky wild dingos.

And don’t worry, we promise not to leave you stranded in some sketchy back alley - unless, of course, you’re into that kind of thing.

We’ve hosted 50.000 scavenger hunts so far. So, we’re pretty sure you will absolutely love it too!

If you don’t, let us know and we’ll live the rest of our lives in shame.

AGE RECOMMENDATION❓
