Historical Fiction Puzzle Hunt

Hunt Town is an adventure game for individuals or small groups to play using an iOS or Android phone with the goal of solving puzzles to complete a puzzle hunt. This outdoor escape room activity is a wonderful team building, family-fun activity where everyone will learn real history about a city or town while participating in an engaging treasure hunt quest. 


One Grand Prize Winner

The first player to successfully complete each hunt will receive a real cash prize

It is anticipated that the first person to solve the hunt could take hours, days or even weeks as there will be no hints provided until the treasure has been claimed. 

Are you a competitive puzzle solver?!

Enjoyable Day of Puzzle Solving 

Once the treasure is claimed by the first solver, the hint function will become available.

Please use these hints and continue through the hunt at their own pace. 

Escape room enthusiasts will love that the group cost of a hunt costs less than the cost of a single person’s 1-hour escape room game, and it lasts the better part of a day.
