Philadelphia Scavenger Hunt & Urban Race

HTA Chicago: Wrap-Up

What a crazy race! This race was the second in a row where the first team in did not claim victory! It just shows that you do not have to be the fastest to win High Trek Adventure!!!

I'd like to thank Fireplace Inn for being fabulous host. Can't wait to return. Also, want to give a shout out to Goose Island Brewing, McFadden's Pub, Timbuk2 and Yelp

We'd also like to thank our Amazing Race celebrity Steve and Dace from TAR Season 4. They are hilarious! They're like relife Statler and Waldorf (the fussy old muppets in the balcony)!

More Info

You've registered for this crazy train experience of a lifetime, so what next? You and your team partner will be on a lively, one-day, Chicago amazing race. This scavenger hunt will take you to unmarked checkpoints known as TREKpoints and explore the Windy City like you've never experienced it before as the puzzle unfolds. Our high octane energy adventure game might take you through the many exciting neighborhoods of Chicago like Wicker Park, Wrigleyville and The Loop and some nifty places you might not even know about!

On this sensational metro adventure, you'll solve clues ranging from pop culture to math (nothing tougher than 8th grade) to American history, anagrams, sudoku, and so much more. It's like a real life Trivial Pursuit game! Along the way you'll face exciting challenges like bowling a strike, identifying a flavor of ice cream or putting a puzzle together.

In case of a disaster including, but not limited to flooding, tornadoes, terrorism, High Trek Adventure will decide whether or not to cancel the event based on the safety of participants and staff. In the event of a cancelation, refunds will NOT be issued; risk is assumed by all participants. However, participants will have the option to transfer registration to a different 2009 city, excluding Championship Race.

*If High Trek Adventure does not provide participants with a swag bag then the first round of drinks is on us!
