The Druid City Scavenger Hunt—Spooky Edition kicks off at 5 p.m. at Government Plaza, and the mystery unfolds as teams gather to kick off the hunt. Armed with their first clue, participants will put their wits to the test, decoding word puzzles, unraveling riddles, and uncovering secrets along the journey.

According to the press release, “The first team to uncover the final destination will claim the grand prize—but the fun doesn’t stop there. All participants are invited to enjoy food, fellowship, and spooky surprises on the patio of this secret location.”

“This event is part scavenger hunt, part Halloween party, and all fun,” said David Rodgers, YLS Scavenger Hunt Chair. “It’s a great way to explore downtown Tuscaloosa, test your problem-solving skills, and make memories with your team. Don’t wait—grab your friends, co-workers, or family and sign up today.”

Space is limited, so early sign-up is encouraged. Tickets are on sale at https://givebutter.com/spookyscavengerhunt.

LOOK: How Halloween has changed in the past 100 years

Stacker compiled a list of ways that Halloween has changed over the last 100 years, from how we celebrate it on the day to the costumes we wear trick-or-treating. We’ve included events, inventions, and trends that changed the ways that Halloween was celebrated over time. Many of these traditions were phased out over time.
