Nacogdoches Summer Scavenger Hunt is a collaborative event between the historic and cultural arts sites of Nacogdoches to encourage visitors to explore Nacogdoches and for residents to be tourists in their town!
How to Play:
- Pick up a printed scavenger hunt at any of the participating locations (listed below).
- Take your scavenger hunt to each site and answer the questions listed.
- At your last stop, leave your scavenger hunt with the site (make sure you fill out your contact information).
- Each completed scavenger hunt will be entered into a drawing to win a prize gift basket with items graciously donated by each site.
New in 2025
Prizes: Can't make all 11 sites? No worries! There are two prize categories this year.
- Master Explorers: You have visited all 11 sites and answered every question. You will be entered to win the grand prizes that include gift items and tickets to various events around Nacogdoches.
- History Hunters: You have made it to 5 sites and answered every question. You may go ahead and turn in your scavenger hunt at your final stop for a chance to win a basket of gift items.
Photo Contest: Upload photos of your scavenger hunt adventure using a QR code that will be on the printed scavenger hunt and on displays at the sites. Each picture will count as one entry. About half way through summer, we will do a drawing from the uploaded photos for a prize. By uploading images, you consent for the pictures to be used to promote the scavenger hunt.
