Your Mission: Scurry around our Nations Capital on a hunt for forgotten places, off the wall items, and little known facts! The Hunt will test your ability to solve clues, crunch mind bending riddles and plot your game winning strategy as you go head to head with dozens hundreds, of other DC hunters!
Your Reward:After the Hunt you’ll be treated to an after-party that will be located smack dab in the middle of our Nation’s Capital. You’ll lounge in the shade of the Washington Monument as you enjoy cool music, free snacks & water, and if you snag a VIP ticket, a few cold brewskees for the adults! We’ll also have Cornhole boards, Monster Pong and Bocce games set up so you and your friends can continue the fun!
UPDATE: Because of the size of the hunt, the chilly weather and the excessive wind (35 MPH GUSTS!!), the finish line has been moved off of the National Mall. The start will still be located at 15th and Constitution NW. Once released Teams will report to the finish line at FADO Irish Pub in Chinatown, located at 808 7th Street NW. There you will be checked in and your points tallied. There will be an after party, snacks, and Bud Light beer specials. We estimate that we will finish tallying all of your scores and announce the winners at roughly 5 O’clock!
Hunt DC is an event everyone can enjoy! Gather up the family, coworkers or friends, and explore the city with U.S.S.!
