The City of Hamilton will host scavenger hunts across the city next month.

According to a City spokeswoman, the hunt will take place in two shifts on Friday, March 11 and Saturday, March 12. The first hunt will be for adults, while the second is open to all ages.

The spokeswoman added: “The Scavenger Hunt is a fun-filled, educational, safe and contactless event that allows participants to have a blast while discovering the island’s capital.

“We are encouraging residents to come and engage their senses, compete for amazing prizes, and think outside the box as they discover Hamilton. This event would make a fun family night out, date night or unique team-building activity.”

Teams of two to four people are allowed. Prizes will be awarded for the best dressed team and the fastest overall team as well as for the top three scoring teams of each day. The winning teams will be announced the following Tuesday

A receipt with a minimum value of $25 from any city business between February 11 and March 12 must be presented by each team on arrival at the event site to participate in each hunt.

Registration for the event is now open and the deadline to sign up is Wednesday, March 9. Teams can sign up on the city’s website at cityofhamilton.bm
