The Secrets of Georgetown Scavenger Hunt

From posh homes to a rugged canal…

…you’ll get to the bottom of this neighborhood’s secrets on this humorous, eclectic game for groups. You’ll follow clues and answer tricky, humorous questions about what you find—including the elegant homes of politicos, cool shops on M Street, trendy eateries where you can grab a tasty morsel or two, memorable movie locations, and more.

Highlights include…

  • The C&O Canal National Park
  • JFK’s first Washington home—and the neighbor honored by reporters for providing coffee in the cold
  • The infamous Exorcist Steps
  • A former prison visited by Lincoln
  • The historic Old Stone House and its garden oasis
  • A tavern where Founding Fathers tippled
  • A bar where a famous cheesy song was born

Plus, sunken houses, magnificent mansions, hidden alleys, and more. One of the best things about this hunt is its variety, since it covers the neighborhood’s three distinct personalities.

The International Edition is great for groups with people whose first language is not English.

The Kids Edition is geared toward ages 7 and up, in which kids and adults join forces to answer the fun and funny questions. Each team must contain at least one adult. The scavenger hunt makes for a great field trip, to introduce kids to a slice of DC history.

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.
