Discover Richmond on your own with a fun and interactive, socially-distanced scavenger hunt!
Ready to get outside and explore?
Our Scavenger Hunts are half self-guided tour and half interactive game. We’ll lead you right to Richmond’s most interesting sights and stories, and at each one you’ll be prompted with a trivia question you’ll answer by looking around you.
Playing is simple: once you purchase your ticket, you’ll receive instructions for downloading our app and entering your unique game password. Then you’ll see a map of the neighborhood with all points of interest – just head over to one to unlock the question!
Highlights include:
- Each scavenger hunt provides at least 2 hours of outdoor entertainment.
- The non-competitive format means you can complete the game at your own pace. Want to stop for an ice cream break? No problem!
- Scavenger hunts can be played individually or as a small team, and they’re all family-friendly
- Our hunts include a mix of well-known and little-known points of interest – even long-time residents will discover something new about their neighborhood!

Scavenger Hunt FAQs
What do I need to participate?
All you’ll need is a smartphone! After purchasing your ticket, you’ll receive a confirmation email with instructions for downloading our app, and a passcode you’ll use to access the scavenger hunt.
Does each person need a ticket?
Nope! You need one ticket per team. Each team will use one smartphone to play the game, so we recommend no more than 5 people per team (although you can have as many as you like).
How much walking will I do?
As much or little as you like! Since our scavenger hunts are non-competitive, we set them up to be done at your own pace. In each hunt, you’ll find 30+ points of interest, and you can discover them all, or pause and continue at another time. For that reason, we’ve gone ahead and added LOTS to each hunt.
