Cary Scavenger Hunt: Clue Bombs
Team including Councilman Ed Yerha from 2014 at a clue location
Cary, NC — As we gear up for our Cary Scavenger Hunt, we realize that folks might be intimidated about signing up. We have some helpful hints that will give you an idea of what to expect and may help you win! ClueBombs are coming!
What’s a Clue?
Scavenger Hunt Clues typically encompass Cary trivia: Information about local history, parks, public artworks, greenways, event venues and local businesses.
The answers we seek generally fall into three categories:
- Take a team photo at a location
- Bring back an item to prove your visit
- Answer a question in our book

Happy Hunting!
