Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!
Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.

Most locations are available daylight hours every day.

During the holidays, we often find ourselves fondly recalling the past. This year, add remembering when you first tuned into 91.9 FM. Come January, we’ve been on the air for 50 years!
We wove the station’s golden birthday into our year-end drive: With “Hear, Here! 50 Years of Service” as our theme, we’re focusing on the half-century of public radio goodness NPR Illinois has brought to this region.
Over the years, listeners like you have been a part of our mission to keep our region accurately informed by financially supporting our work. Please continue to advance our mission of informing and bringing together to community by making a gift during the year-end drive.
