Operated by Tourist Scavenger Hunt · Washington, District of Columbia
You step off the metro into the organized chaos of downtown Washington and the city seems to rearrange itself into a map of possibilities: stately embassies, fenced townhouse facades, granite statues that stare like judges. The scavenger hunt starts in Lafayette Square, where the White House looms just beyond the trees and a circle of bronze figures marks earlier eras. From there the route threads north through Dupont Circle’s fountain-splashed plaza, slips along leafy residential streets, and curves into Logan Circle’s ring of Victorian homes—36 stops in 3.9 km that read like a compact urban primer.
