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.
