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.

Unitarian Universalist Society East will show the film "Borderland" at 7 pm Tuesday, Sept. 23, 2025. Tickets are $5 to benefit CT Students for a Dream. Q&A with filmmakers Pamela Yates and Paco de Onís will follow the film.
In "Borderland," we journey with immigrants resisting and organizing for their human rights in the shadow of the vast border industrial complex, a multi-billion dollar business of surveillance, detention, and deportation effectively embedding the border in every corner of our nation. The interwoven stories of courageous immigrants seeking a way forward sheds light on the human cost of the struggle, as the threat to themselves and democracy looms with immigration used as a wedge issue for political gain and a gateway to authoritarian rule. All are welcome.
The film has spoken English and Spanish. In our bilingual version of the film for the screening, the spoken English has Spanish subtitles, and the spoken Spanish has English subtitles.
