Want a new way to see the city? Try a Scavenger Dash, where teams adventure through the urban environment, traveling on foot or via public transit to a series of checkpoints and challenges.

You can use a variety of methods to solve the clues: your smartphone, a GPS, asking strangers, using the library, or even carrying a laptop with you, but you may want to also recruit a ‘phone friend’, who will be at home just waiting to Google your clue for you.

And costumes are highly recommended.
