History Mystery Challenge ~ Fort Collins
August 27, 2010
Time: 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM
Location: Fort Collins Museum
Website: www.fcmdsc.org

What could be better than a stroll through Old Town in August – with the added spark of a competition? The Fort Collins Museum Foundation invites you to this summer’s premier event – a scavenger hunt through Old Town Fort Collins – with the winning team taking home a trophy and bragging rights! The History Mystery Challenge is August 27 from 6:00 PM until 10:00 PM in the Fort Collins Museum’s Heritage Courtyard and supports the Fort Collins Museum Foundation. Space is limited this year!

The Fort Collins Museum Foundation’s 2010 History Mystery Challenge is a scavenger hunt for adults. Teams of four to six players decipher clues uncovering information about places in Old Town. The team solving the most clues wins the Challenge, receiving a trophy, accolades, bragging rights, and the undying respect and reverence of all the other teams. Participants gather at the Museum beginning at 6:00 PM to receive their clue packets. Each team then has 90 minutes to solve as many clues as possible – but it can’t be done from the Museum’s Courtyard! Each clue leads to a place in Old Town, and only there can the answer be found! Great food, refreshing libations, and much merriment will be served before and after the Challenge. Teams are required to create a team name (the more clever the better!), and dress in the spirit of the event – walking shoes are required as vehicles are banned, and the better the costume, the better the prize!

Stuck on a tough one? Find the costumed “Clue Sellers” posted throughout Old Town and purchase the answer from them!
Registration for the 2010 History Mystery Challenge begins July 19.

Cost is $25 per Team Member, with four to six people on a team. Individuals and couples are welcome – we’ll pair you up with other players. Registration forms are available at the Fort Collins Museum & Discovery Science Center, 200 Mathews Street, or call 221-6738. You can also download registration forms on the Museum’s website www.fcmdsc.org . Team registration ends August 25 and space is limited to 300 participants! All team members must be over 21 years of age. All proceeds from the History Mystery Challenge support the Museum Foundation.
