The Secrets of Annapolis Scavenger Hunt

See the best of Annapolis on a whirlwind tour…

…that reveals the capital’s hidden history and surprising sights. Whether you work, play, or live here, you won’t believe what you’ve been missing. On teams, you’ll follow a trail of clues through the city, in search of answers to tricky, humorous questions about tucked-away gardens and mews, sneaky and startling modern art, hidden passages, stately homes, flippant signs, and more.

Along the way, you might also discover…

  • A salute to the author of Roots
  • The home of a signer of the Declaration of Independence
  • A cryptic Freemasons symbol
  • A drummer’s warning
  • A puzzling device outside an old inn
  • The legendary tree of Mrs. Chew-Paca (who was not a Wookie)

You don’t need to know anything about the town to unravel the hunt’s mysteries. You just need sharp eyes, comfy shoes, and excellent teamwork.

A Kids Edition is available, in which kids and adults works together. It’s a great Annapolis activity for school groups, camps, and other outings for kids age 7 and up.

What are people saying about the Annapolis scavenger hunt?

A 5-star review on Google: “My company used Watson Adventures for a team-building scavenger hunt for our senior leadership in Annapolis, MD. Their host, Tokia, connected well with our team, gave excellent instructions (some even in song!), and ensured the team understood how to use the platform to answer the questions and upload their photos. Some of the clues were tough, which kept everyone engaged. It was a great way for the team to see Annapolis while bonding with peers. My leaders had a great time…this was one of their favorite team-building experiences!”

The Murder Mystery Mayhem Scavenger Hunt

Beware: there’s a killer in your midst

Someone playing this game with you is a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde. His or her good side knows nothing about the evil side—and the evil side has challenged you to prevent your own murder. Everyone in your group has been poisoned, and the clock is ticking down on your time left to live. To reveal the killer’s identity, you’ll have to complete a series of photo challenges, solve interlocking puzzles, decipher coded text messages, and more. If you succeed, you get the antidote. If you fail…well, you know.

If you love escape-room games, you’ll love this murder mystery scavenger hunt. But even better, you won’t be locked in a room for an hour: this game can be played almost anywhere.
