How a Treasure Hunt Works
Grab your team
Teams of 2-6. Bring friends, Family, or co-workers. A scavenger hunt perfect for groups of all sizes!
Meet your guide
We meet you at the starting point for a full briefing, then set your team off with a treasure map looking for clues.
Solve, explore, win
Teams complete 60 minutes of puzzles and clues while walking up to 2 miles. Unlock the treasure chest first to win!
A little cary You'll Run Into
Our scavenger hunts run the length of Academy Street — past the Cary Depot, where the railroad that created this town still rolls through, down to Ashworth Village and the corners of downtown most people just walk right by. Did you know there's a whole lake hiding in an alley off Chatham Street — sunset, sailboat, kayak and all — painted so precisely around the building's real door and awning that they vanish into the shoreline? Cary is full of stories like this — our scavenger hunts just give you a reason to go find them.
Our hunts are perfect for:
Corporate Groups
Turn a workday into a scavenger hunt worth talking about. Inspire communication and teamwork in a new way.
Conference Activities
Showcase Cary with a unique local experience attendees will love.
Birthday Events
Celebrate this year in a fun, active way. Challenge your friends to unlock the treasure chest before you get there first.
Family Get-togethers
Experience Cary in a new way and show off the city to visiting family members along the scavenger hunt.
Hunt through Academy Street and search for clues around the Cary Depot, Downtown Cary Park, and Ashworth Village.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a treasure hunt last?
Each hunt runs about 60 minutes from start to finish. We keep it tight so it fits into any schedule without taking over the whole day.
How many people can participate?
We accommodate groups of all sizes — from small teams of 10 to large corporate events of 100 or more. Reach out and we'll build the right format for your group.
Do I need to download anything or bring special equipment?
Nothing. We provide all materials. Just show up ready to explore and we'll handle the rest.
Can I bring my dog on the hunt?
All of our hunts are outdoors and dog friendly. Be aware that some hunts may start/end at indoor establishments with their own pet rules.
Where in the Triangle do you operate?
We have 10+ pre-built hunts all across the Triangle. Custom events can be built around your preferred location — just ask.
What happens if it rains?
Public hunts run rain or shine — a little drizzle never stopped a good treasure hunt. In the case of severe weather, we'll reach out directly with options.
How far in advance should I book?
For private and custom events, we recommend booking at least two weeks out. The sooner the better, especially for larger groups or popular dates.
How difficult are the puzzles and clues?
The puzzles and clues are designed to be fun, but challenging. We do provide hints on request to help teams along!
