The Hooray for Rye Scavenger Hunt
Discover historic sites and hidden delights…
…all around the heart of Rye, one of the most charming towns in Westchester. This special edition of our Grab ’n’ Go Scavenger Hunt will have you tackling a variety of challenges: you’ll take creative and unusual Team Photos, find and create unique items, seek out staffers for a surprise, and decipher clues to answer humorous questions about interesting locations.
George Washington, Founding Father John Jay, and Benjamin Franklin all stayed or lived in Rye, and the village boasts quaint historical buildings and sights. This hunt will tickle your funny bone, nudge your noggin, and exercise your creativity in ways you’d never expect.
You don’t need any prior knowledge of history or the area to win: you just need good teamwork and comfy shoes.
A Kids Edition, suitable for ages 7 and up, is also available.

The Toast of Tarrytown Scavenger Hunt
A one-of-a-kind activity for Westchester groups
If you’re looking for fun and laughs for a group in or near Tarrytown, we have one—with very unusual challenges that will exercise your brain and tickle your funny bone. On teams, you’ll tackle challenges that might involve strange uses for food, new lyrics for old songs, people in any kind of uniform, strangers wearing valuable words, secrets about local landmarks, and more. If you’ve been on scavenger hunts where you’ve had to collect boring things like clothespins and obscure CDs, you’re in for a surprise.
And Tarrytown is a great setting for a scavenger hunt! Broadway is the main drag for this game, featuring a mix of small stores, unusual architecture, a beautiful park, and hidden history. Our easy-to-use browser-based app will be your passport to fun.
Along the way, your team will…
Take unusual team photos: Get creative and keep your eyes open as you explore your area and try to meet the requirements of diverse Team Photo Challenges. You might be asked to demonstrate a group member’s superhuman powers. Or treat a staircase as if it’s a carnival ride. Or photobomb another team.
Find or create unusual items: Can you create and name an amazing new food by combining two unlikely foods? How about an appropriate trophy for the hunt winners? Three items that rhyme? Something improved by being broken? You’ll be surprised by the results that come from great teamwork.
Crack a code to decipher a mystery message: Your hunt materials will include a bizarrely coded message. What the heck does it say? To crack the code, you’ll need to solve crafty, fun puzzles, involving a trivia questions, pop music, and a “pigpen cipher.” Can you piece together the key that unlocks the mystery message?
Locate your Host for a surprise bonus challenge: Find your hunt host, who will be waiting for you, ready to spring a tricky, humorous visual puzzle for you to ponder. It could involve unusual celebrity pairings…or musical snippets…or international maps…or strangely altered art.
Various versions to suit your group
Go Deluxe: Let us tailor the hunt to your needs. Tell us what you want to highlight and we’ll weave it into the game. Perhaps someone you want to celebrate? A theme or slogan for a new campaign? Hidden talents in your group? Talk to us! We like a challenge.

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.
An in-person murder mystery for any location!
We have a variety of versions, depending on where you want to play. Such as…
- A city, town, or neighborhood
- A science or history museum
- A zoo or aquarium
- An office building
- A school or campus
