A 150 year old letter has turned up and as a field investigator, it is your job to find out what it means.

To be successful you must be curious, adventurous, collaborative, and clever.

Use the map to navigate to nine locations in the heart of the Old City.  Parents and children will need to work together to find clues, solve riddles, and uncover the meaning behind a cryptic message.

Gold Rush, Pony Express, and the  Transcontinental Railroad are cleverly woven into the story that will make the streets and buildings in Old Sac come alive.

The map that reveals the location of the three Old Sacramento restrooms is handy too.

Let the adventure begin.

The Old Sacramento Scavenger Hunt has been around in paper form since 2009.  Although
we can't fit the whole story line, historical background, clues, and all of the eye-spy riddles on a single 8.5 x 11 paper,if you don't have an iPhone the paper scavenger hunt is still alot of fun.

The hunt consists of a treasure map and a set of educational riddles. Each step on the map corresponds to a riddle, and the answers can be found on plaques, historic markers, signs, and other landmarks. The hunt starts at the Pony Express statue and winds its way through Old Town.
