LINDEN HILLS SCAVENGER HUNT
for the first-ever PicnicPalooza Scavenger Hunt! In this three-hour race to the finish, teams will solve a set of 25 clues within a perimeter in Linden Hills.
Assume a 3+ mile walk as you muddle over cryptic clues, explore famous-to-us landmarks, nosh on tasty treats and post a selfie or two.
Teams will be 4-8 total and must stick together for the hunt. If you have a crew ready to go, register your team now.
No team? No problem. After you register yourself for the hunt, you’ll fill out a form to help us place you with folks who share a similar life stage or hobbies. Don’t be shy, we are EXCELLENT matchmakers.
The hunt will start at the Lake Harriet Bandshell at 11am and finish at PicnicPalooza at 2pm. We recommend taking 15-20 minutes to plan your route, so you can minimize backtracking.
Expect a big mix of clues, from quick selfies to visiting local businesses, speed-eating a Picnic dog to enjoying a drink at Wooden Ship.
We’ll be giving away more than $2,000 in prizes for the top three teams alone, including:
Vikings tickets
Free Hamm’s for a year
Picnic gift cards
And more!
