If you know Rhode Island, you know that the “greatest lil’ state” packs a lot of fun, history, and culture in to one small package – one that you could explore in a day. But how well do you REALLY know Rhode Island?
Whether you’re a lifelong Rhode Islander or its your first time visiting the state, you’re invited to the Rhode Island Statewide Scavenger hunt on Saturday, August 24 and/or Sunday, August 25.
Throughout the weekend, teams of five or less will be hunting for hidden and well-known Rhode Island treasures. This event is designed to be family-friendly, so load up the kids, or your best friends, and discover the smallest state in the union!
What better way to celebrate the end of summer than spending it cruising around Rhode Island? Pack a lunch or support a local food establishment along the way.
You and your teammates will have the opportunity to explore our state in a way you’ve never done it before – with the aid of a one-of-a-kind augmented reality mobile platform.
Participate for a few hours, a whole day, or for two days. You’re sure to uncover clues that bring you to new sites…and perhaps new heights.
Each participating team will receive a swag tote, full of all you need for a successful hunt, including a custom-illustrated map of Rhode Island, which will be designed to interact with our mobile app that will guide you along the way.
The Keyholders – Throughout the weekend dozens of keys will be at the SWSH locations across the state. Keys are earned by being at the right location at the right time, being the most creative with solving a Roland Request, or following our clues on Social Media for keys hidden in the wild. Only one key will open a treasure chest full of Rhode Island experiences at our closing party.
The Explorers – Teams that complete at least 2 clues in each of the 5 Rhode Island counties will be entered in a drawing to receive a year’s worth of passports to Rhode Island Food Fights events for each team member!
The Rhode Scholars – The 10 teams with the highest scores at the end of the weekend will be entered in a drawing to win a one of a kind VIP experience including a dinner and open bar at the Brazier Society, followed by a guest boat ride for your team at a 2024/2025 WaterFire event.
Other Giveaways – Throughout the weekend we will announce other opportunities for your team to win prizes.
Some of our favorites from last two year are back, but we have a whole slew of new locations to explore. For the locations from last year that are returning, we have some fresh new puzzles.
When the hunt ends on Sunday at 6pm, meet your fellow explorers, play some lawn games, enjoy some live music and beverages, and most importantly, see if you have the one lucky key that will open the treasure chest.
