Town scavenger hunts · Holds

Scavenger hunts in real towns

A Hold is a self-guided scavenger hunt on a town’s own streets, except every clue is a puzzle on your phone, not a landmark to find. Walk to each stop and your phone opens it. No guide, no booth, no ticket line: just your family and the cipher wheel.

How a Hold works

  1. Walk to the next stop on the map in your phone.
  2. Unlock: arriving opens that stop’s page.
  3. Solve it with the cipher wheel, right on the page.

Every puzzle is on your phone, never on a plaque, so crowds and closed buildings don’t matter.
