The Scavenger Hunt Deets

Upon arrival, each family will receive a set of rules and their very own hunt sheet, mapping out the clues and items to hunt for. It’s like a secret mission, only this time, the whole family is in on it!
Epic Prizes Await!
Now, let’s talk about the cherry on top – prizes! We’re not just sending you on a mission for the fun of it. Families with the most correct answers will be crowned champions of the Downtown Scavenger Hunt. And guess what? Three lucky victors will snag gift certificates to the one and only Reading Bug!
