Bring Your E-Ticket and/or Confirmation Number to the Hunt: After you complete your online ticket purchase, you will see an on-screen “e-ticket” that you should print out and bring to the hunt. If you purchase tickets over the phone, you will receive a confirmation number that you should bring to the hunt. You must have a valid e-ticket or confirmation number to participate in the hunt. You will also receive an e-mail receipt of your purchase. No tickets will be sold at the hunt. If you need to purchase tickets, return to the Hunt Schedule.

Meeting Place: In Fell’s Point Square at South Broadway and Thames Streets. There, look for our MC in a burgundy cap that says “Watson Adventures.” (See a map: scroll down to the last map, and the meeting place is near number 6; the map includes nearby parking garages.)

Meeting Time: Please be ready to hunt at the time indicated on the Hunt Schedule. If you need to check coats or bags, please arrive early, especially in bad weather, when the lines can be long.

What to Bring: At least one digital camera per team, for the Team Photo Challenges that are one part of the game.

What If It Rains? We find that most hunters are pretty intrepid, so we rarely cancel a hunt due to horrible weather. But if the weather is truly abominable, we will make an announcement on the Hunt Hotline two hours before the hunt starts: Call 877-9 GO HUNT, extension 12. If the hunt is canceled, use this number and extension to reschedule for any future hunt.

Forming a Team: The hunt is played on teams of up to six people. You can bring your own team and hunt with as few as two on a team, or we can help you band together with kindred spirits at the start of the hunt. Over the years, we’ve found that “pick up” teams often have the most fun, not just because the hunt is a bit easier with more brains working on the questions, but also because the hunters have fun getting to know each other. Your team can have more than six people, but you will not be eligible to win a prize. But maybe that’s not your priority anyway! The main objective is to have fun.

Prizes: Each member of the winning team will receive a prize (it’s a sur-prize). Plus if you fill out a survey after the hunt, you’ll be eligible to win free admission to a future hunt.

Dress: Be comfortable! Don’t carry anything heavy and definitely wear comfortable shoes!
