Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!

Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.

Description/info:
In two series of oil paintings on wood panels, Evelyn Pye explores human dimensions of time, space, and scale through a profusion of indoor plant life infused with domestic detail. Small-scale works, from 2013, depict plants that belonged to the artist’s mother. Now, in 2025, Pye tends the plants herself and revisits the paintings with new, scaled-up versions of the originals, approximately doubling the size, plus painting the plants anew at larger scale. In-person Art Forum on July 17.
