Q&A

Q: How long does the scavenger hunt take? Is it flexible?

A: The scavenger hunt generally takes about 2-3 hours, but you can go at your own pace, which is nice! There's no strict time limit, so if you want to explore more or take extra selfies, you totally can. Just make sure to start while it's still light out so you don’t miss any sights!

Q: Is there an age limit for kids? Can my 9-year-old join?

A: There’s no strict age limit, and kids absolutely can join! It’s suitable for all ages, but younger kids might need a bit of help with some clues. Plus, it's a great way for families to bond while discovering Hartford together. I took my kids, and they loved solving the mysteries!

Q: What should we wear? Is it a lot of walking?

A: Definitely wear comfy shoes! There’s a fair bit of walking involved, especially since you’ll be exploring downtown Hartford. Dress for the weather, but layers are a good idea since some spots can be windy. I did it in the fall, and I was glad I wore a light jacket!

Hey everyone! I’m thinking about gifting the Hartford Scavenger Hunt to my friends who are visiting soon. They love history and outdoor activities. How interactive is it? Do you think it’s good for a group of about six people? Any tips for making it extra fun?

Anyone else obsessed with scavenger hunts?

I just did the Hartford Scavenger Hunt last weekend and it was such a cool way to explore the city! I got to see places I never knew about like the old State House! Plus, the whole group really got into solving the clues. Would totally recommend it for a fun day out!
