The inaugural Scavenger Hunt presented by the Flagstaff Festival of Science!
Taking place on May 4th, the Scavenger Hunt invites teams of up to 4 to participate in an exciting day of discovery and fun! With 20 participating organizations, teams can visit a variety of destinations, getting to know Flagstaff and many scientific treasures in our town! Gather family or friends and join the fun.
Your team has all day (Between 9a-4p) to complete as many clues as you want! We have 20 creatively crafted clues to keep you and your team going strong all while getting to visit the most incredible science and nature destinations throughout town.
As a participant, you’ll receive an exclusive event tee-shirt, refreshments at the post-event celebration, volunteer support, a convenient bus pass for the day, prizes, and, most importantly, a whole lot of fun! Mountain Line bus service will be free to all participants on May 4th so if you’d rather not drive, you can ride the bus, follow the clues, to discover many of the treasures!
At the post-event celebration, everyone is a winner with prizes for top teams who complete all the destinations and attendee-voted superlatives such as Most Silly Selfie and more! You can also expect a slideshow of your terrific selfies and refreshments.
(Notes: A. The bus lines may not access all 20 destinations. B. There is no additional cost to access to the treasures at various locations. These sites will be included in your ticket price for the Scavenger Hunt.)
