Registration is open for Dayton’s upcoming family friendly scavenger hunt, the Downtown Adventure.

From 11 a.m.-5 p.m. June 29, the event will take adventurers across downtown Dayton in search of clues and challenges. Completing these tasks will help fill out each group’s clue booklet.

The group that completes the most challenges and clues will receive a cash prize of $300. The second place group will receive $200, with third place receiving $150. In the event of a tie, a tie-breaker clue will be given.

While costumes are not required, the team with the best costumes will receive a $100 Downtown Dollars e-gift card, valid at nearly 80 Dayton businesses. Costumes will be judged by the Downtown Dayton Partnership based on fun, creativity and commitment.
