Race For Clues, Win Prizes During Norwalk City Hunt

NORWALK, CT — Norwalk Now, the collaborative marketing group comprised of local Norwalk businesses who have come together to promote their city, presents Norwalk City Hunt, an interactive “amazing race” throughout the Wall Street and SoNo neighborhoods of Norwalk.

The event takes place Saturday, April 28, according to a release. Meet-up will be at 10:30 a.m. and the hunt will run from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., with an after party taking place from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

Participants are put into teams of four and guided through the hunt on the City Hunt phone app. From there, a series of clues, challenges and tasks are tackled with the successful completion of these activities being recorded or photographed on the team leader’s phone.

Meanwhile at City Hunt home base and the unknown location of the after party, City Hunt officials are monitoring everyone’s progress. Participants will be walking, running or catching a Norwalk Now Circulator Van, shuffling them between neighborhoods.

Norwalk Now Director Linda Kavanagh, a huge fan of City Hunts throughout the country, views Norwalk as an ideal location for such an adventure.

“I have participated in these crazy mad dashes across cities such as New York, Boston, and Charleston," Kavanagh said in a release. "You really get to know a city and find yourself doing things that only social media should be allowed to capture!”

Destinations are comprised of Norwalk Now businesses, supporters and public domains. The final destination is found by solving the clue.

Upon completion of the Hunt, winners will be announced and the after party begins. Prizes include a $500 Norwalk Now gift card package and Free Parking gift bundles.

A Norwalk Now Circulator Van will continue service throughout the night and discount parking for the day will be offered. Go to the Norwalk Now Facebook page to obtain the code.

Tickets are $40 per person and include the City Hunt challenge and phone app, NCH swag and the after party. Sign-up solo and form your team at the meet-up, or sign-up your foursome at www.norwalknow.org.
