Race through Boston Common with Friends: Scavenger Hunt

Ever watch the Amazing Race or Treasure Hunters? Well, it's a little bit like that … except you don't get to have embarrassing personal squabbles in front of six million viewers! Or fly around the world, for that matter. Teams of five players race (amble, if you prefer) around the city of Boston, navigating their way through the twists and turns of a whodunit-style mystery while sifting through riddles, puzzles, and physical and mental challenges … not to mention engaging in some exquisitely goofy behavior. Along the way, you learn a little bit about the history and culture of Boston. You also get to interact with some pretty funny actors from Improv Boston. Well, at least they tell us they're pretty funny.

We’ll be gathering afterwards to share adventures over some much needed replenishment (appetizers).

Meet at the City Place food courst in the Transportation Building at 8 Park Plaza (across from the Boylston T stop).
