  • Scavenger Hunt

    Join us Saturday, June 11th, at the Cotton Building downtown Port Townsend, for the great steampunk scavenger hunt! Younglings 13 and under will be led by our team of intrepid adventurers through downtown from 1-2pm on a search for engine parts, accumulating in a grand nerf gun shootout between pirates and participants.

    The great desert-walker "Mirage" has been attacked just outside of Port Townsend by a marauding group of rogue scientists, scattering critical parts across town. Scouts located the lost parts, but were attacked by the scientists' lackeys before they could retrieve them! Just before being shanghaied, the scouts managed to write down clues to the coordinates for the lost parts on two charts and hide them to prevent the beastly bodgers from commandeering the desert-walker. Captain Jhin of the desert walker "Mirage" and his First Mate Danielle are calling all young inventors and scrappers to assist in the search for the missing parts! But be on your guard my steam-savvy friends, for the location of the parts is still infested with the roguish attackers!

    Admission is free to BSC ticket holders and children 13 and under. Some nerf guns available on a first come first serve basis. Hunt starts promptly at 1pm. While the scavenger hunt is led by responsible chaperones, we are not responsible for lost or missing children or their safety. Parents are encouraged to accompany their offspring.
