ABOUT

Welcome to London, England, in the year 1925, where the rich, fashionable, and utterly scandalous cohort known as The Bright Young Things invented the modern Scavenger Hunt. London society watched with equal fascination and outrage as these frivilous young people drove, climbed, drank, crawled, danced, and disgraced themselves into tabloids, novels, plays, and the cultural zeitgeist.

But the true story of the first Scavenger Hunt was never fully told – on October 25, 1925, the Bright Young Things' triumphant new game ended with a murder most foul, which to this day has never been solved.

Now, 100 years later, were transforming Navy Yard into historical London to trace the story of the Bright Young Things through their hunt, using historical records, puzzles, riddles, and expert sleuthing to finally solve the deadly mystery of the very first Scavenger Hunt.
