Scavenger Hunt: Chicago Eats Edition

Registration for this event is now closed.

It’s summer, the weather is warm and hopefully you’ve worked up an appetite. Here’s your chance to satisfy your cravings while exploring new cuisines and neighborhoods. Join Curious City for our very first city wide scavenger hunt.  We’ll give you clues that will lead you to nearly all of Chicago’s 77 community areas and specific restaurants within them recommended by WBEZ staff. It's up to you to find them as you traverse the city

The hunt will start on August 14, 2020 and conclude on September 13, 2020. Participants may choose to compete either in the "Team" division where all participants are 18+ in age; in the "Family" division for adults with minors, including parents or legal guardians; or in the “Virtual” division for participants of any age who can’t or choose not to physically travel to restaurants. After registering, participants will receive instructions on how to participate in the hunt. First, second and third place winners in each division will win a gift card to a local restaurant of their choosing.

So, lace up your shoes, grab your quarantine family, leave your home neighborhood and get to know the city better through the food that’s cooked and served up in every corner.

If you want to learn more about the scavenger hunt, join us at 6pm on August 13 for a live informational session.
