FALL SCAVENGER HUNTS
On teams of up to six people, you’ll search for answers to tricky, humorous questions. No hunt requires that you know anything about the hunt location—all you need is a sharp mind and a good pair of shoes. You can bring your own team, or we’ll help you join up with kindred spirits at the start. Our hunts have been recommended by The New York Times, The Washington Post, Citysearch, National Geographic Traveler, Time Out, Travel + Leisure, Daily Candy and many other media outlets. More than 95,000 hunters served since 1999!
Advance payment required for all hunts. To purchase tickets, click on “Learn more and buy tickets now” at the end of each listing or call us toll-free at 877-9-GO HUNT (877-946-4868), extension 22.

Saturday, October 25, 2 to 4:30 p.m.

The murder victim knew too much-and now it’s your turn to learn what he knew and discover what drove one of four suspects to commit murder. To find out, you’ll have to...

The Field of Screams Scavenger Hunt
Saturday, November 15, 2 to 4:30 p.m.
On our most surreal hunt in Chicago, you’ll get a whirlwind tour of this treasure chest of natural and cultural wonders, taking you from Ancient Egypt to the Pacific Islands, from the tundra to the forest, from Tibet to the lair of bats. You’ll search for answers to such questions as, “In Ancient Egypt, find ‘bowling pins’ with the head of a human, a jackal, a falcon and a baboon. They’re waiting for organ transplants—but which organ would they reject?” You’ll have to get inside the brains... Learn more and buy tickets now
The N*ked at the Art Museum Scavenger Hunt
Saturday, December 13, 2 to 4:30 p.m.
Search for n*dity at the Art Institute of Chicago. You’ll scrutinize bathing beauties, peeping Toms, sultry sirens, a muscle man who’ll ruin his birthday suit while wrestling a lion, a woman enjoying a golden shower from Zeus, cads and cuckolds, provocative Picassos, dangerous natives, a mystic who has gone too far with the Slimfast...
