Boston Scavenger Hunt

Posted on November 15, 2012

I am leading a three day management and professional development retreat in Boston.  After hours inside and in workshops, it seemed like a good idea to come up with a way for people to get outside, get some exercise, and also do some team building.

So I divided the group of eight into four two-person teams and sent them on a Boston scavenger hunt at the end of the day.  Here is what they need to track down:

That was 30 points right there!  Lots of laughs, great photos, and a fiercely competitive group.  The losing pair will be regaling us tomorrow night with a duet version of “The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow” from Annie.

Some of the clues are a little cryptic.  Do you know them all?
