Adventure Tips

Expect about 1.5 miles of mostly flat walking on urban terrain—supportive shoes will keep you comfortable throughout the hunt.
Bring a Charged Smartphone

Dress for All Weather
The scavenger hunt operates rain or shine, so prepare for weather conditions with layers or rain gear as appropriate.

Carry a water bottle especially in warmer months—urban walking combined with active problem solving can be deceptively dehydrating.
