The Chicago Underground Scavenger Hunt
Join me for a unique scavenger hunt game that will help you learn the history of the Chicago Pedway and how to navigate the city completely underground—something many Chicagoans don't know how to do. When we meet, I'll give you a set of 10 questions to answer, all corresponding to locations in the Pedway. It's a race to find the location, write down the answer, and follow the directions to the next question. You can use your smart phones to help you, but you'll still have to visit each location to win. I’ll be hiding in a secret, last location. To win, be the first to find me with the correct answers. If you're the first one to arrive, you'll get a prize! No matter what, everyone is a winner, and each guest will receive one drink of their choice.
You'll spend the entire time exploring the Pedway, Chicago's underground maze that spans miles beneath downtown. The final clue will lead you to a hidden location where your host will be waiting for you.
