How well do you know Rochester?
Put your navigation skills—and curiosity—to the test in this one-of-a-kind, map-based scavenger hunt through the city!

Grab a team or go solo. You’ll receive a map and a list of multiple-choice questions, each tied to a real-world location. To answer them, you’ll need to get there in person—on foot or by bike—and look around!

Example:
Q: What year was the 2nd Court St bridge completed?

• A. 1837

• B. 1852

• C. 1859

• D. 1866

‍♀️ ‍♀️ Choose Your Mode & Challenge Level:

• 3-hour or 5-hour events

• Travel by foot or bike

• Relax and explore at your own pace… or race to cover over 20 miles on foot or 40 by bike!

• New this year! A “no rules” (but no prizes!) category! Example: you can travel by car to visit areas you might have a hard time reaching on foot, like Mt. Hope Cemetery. Teams can split up. You can travel by electric bike.
