Free Scavenger Hunt: The Race to the White House Scavenger Hunt

From , former About.com Guide

On Saturday, April 18, 2009 at 3 p.m. Watson Adventures will celebrate its 10th anniversary with a free Race to the White House Scavenger Hunt. Teams of up to six people will follow clues and answer questions about the objects and places they discover. The Race to the White House Scavenger Hunt is filled with adventure and steeped in history. Participants will discover surprising sights in such locations as Lafayette Park, Freedom Plaza, Ford’s Theater, the Octagon House, the FBI building and of course the White House itself. Highlights include Lincoln’s champagne bill, a piece of the Berlin Wall, the view from atop the Old Post Office and someone rashly taking sword lessons wearing only a fig leaf.

Tickets for The Race to the White House Scavenger Hunt will be available on the Watson Adventure Website beginning at noon on Tuesday, April 14. Tickets will not be available by phone. Reservations are required to participate. The meeting place for the hunt will be on your e-ticket and you can reserve a maximum of two tickets.
