The Ellicott City Shuffle Scavenger Hunt

Ellicott is your personal game board…

…on a unique scavenger hunt through this quaint Maryland town. Its rich history means you can hit the site of Babe Ruth’s first nuptials, skulk around in the footsteps of Confederate prisoners of war, toot by the oldest standing railroad station in the nation, swing past the strangely titled Patapsco Female Institute, rest up by a Quaker Cemetery, and revel in Ellicott’s stunning architecture and majestic monuments. Oh, and Ellicott City is often regarded as the East Coast’s most haunted small town, so you might run into a disgruntled spirit or two.

As part of the game, you’ll be challenged to answer clever and funny questions about these locations, snap striking Team Photos, collect or create strange objects, and put your wits to the test on a secret bonus challenge.

All you need to do well and have fun on this hunt? Great teamwork—and a pair of comfy shoes.

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.
