All participants are expected to wear comfortable shoes and weather-appropriate clothing as the hunt is held outdoors.

This hunt is a perfect holiday outing for friends and family. Players must be at least 13 years old to participate. Every team must have an adult over the age of 21. The Grand Prize Winner receives a prize package that includes dinner and show at Bucks County Playhouse! Other prizes to be awarded.

From the Tony Award-winning creators of the “Ragtime,” this dazzling show transports audiences from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past.

Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love, and family.
