Question 1

Where does the hunt begin?

Accepted Answer

Meet us at the Boston Common Visitors Center. Your first challenge: when facing the booth, with a Dunkin' behind you, look to your right and find three statues that say Religion, Industry, and Learning on them. Your gamemaster will be waiting for you there with an Innovation Trail hat or sign.

Question 2

What is the app for this scavenger hunt?

Accepted Answer

Goosechase, available on iphones and androids. We recommend that at least one member of your group has the app downloaded before you arrive. We will provide the join code and create teams at the starting point.

Question 3

How big should teams be?

Accepted Answer

Teams can be as small as two people, and we recommend no bigger than 5 (not including young children in strollers who are mostly along for the ride.)

Question 4

How hard is this?

Accepted Answer

Some missions require puzzle solving, but others just require observing or snapping photos. If you've done 10+ escape rooms and routinely get out in 30 mins, you'll find this fun but not tough. If you've never done an escape room, or you have kids, you'll be able to rack up points and have fun!
