By: Blair Ingenthron Sep. 24, 2022
Virginia Children's Theatre and the Roanoke Arts Commission have designed a Golden Key Scavenger Hunt to connect downtown businesses with area arts and cultural organizations. The Golden Key Scavenger Hunt takes place in Downtown Roanoke now through October 8.
Patrons are invited to go on a scavenger hunt through participating downtown businesses and find golden keys to "unlock" discounts and prizes from area arts and cultural organizations
The rules are simple:
1.) Visit https://www.virginiachildrenstheatre.org/hunt to discover the businesses that have hidden keys:
2.) Patrons can choose any business to visit first. Once inside find the hidden golden key and ask an employee for a passport booklet. Have the employee sign that the hidden key was located.
3.) Visit other downtown businesses to find their keys. Patrons can visit as many businesses as they want, but must visit at least six.
4.) Take the completed passport and drop it in the box inside Center in the Square. Once a week, all completed entries will be contacted with a secret code to unlock discounts.
5.) One grand prize winner will receive a Golden Ticket granting them access to a season of arts and cultural experiences.
