Event Details
A PUZZLE ADVENTURE FOR ALL AGES UNCOMMON PLACES, CURIOUS CLUES, & MYSTERIOUS CASES
Sponsored by the Howard County Historical Society and the Ellicott City Partnership, participate in this unique “Puzzle Adventure” crafted by local teacher Scot Ehrhardt. Learn about the rich history of Ellicott City as you try to solve a mystery by navigating a series of unique sites. The event is free and open to all ages!
WHAT IS IT? A free walkable puzzle adventure in Historic Ellicott City–it’s not a race or competition. Prizes will be available to all finishers. The total walking distance is about a mile, and will take 1-1.5 hours. Paths and buildings include stairs.
WHEN IS IT? September 28 and 29, 2024, from 1:00-5:00pm (within business hours of all the organizations). Come either day, anytime during the open hours.
WHO IS IT FOR? Everyone! The storyline and puzzle elements are geared toward players ages 9 and up, but the content is appropriate for any age. Families and groups working together will experience the most success.
WHERE DO I GET MATERIALS? You can view starting materials anytime with the link above, or pick up a paper copy at the Welcome Center (8267 Main St, Ellicott City, MD 21043) from Sept 14-29. The puzzle accesses various in-person locations in Historic Ellicott City, MD.
WHAT DO I NEED? A smartphone (to access the hints and maybe check a map) and comfortable shoes!
