About this Event

This National Scavenger Hunt Day get outside and shake things up with an adventure that pulls you out of your everyday life and drops you into the middle of a chilling adventure.


Here's the deal:

You’ve made the mistake of agreeing to meet your mysterious date in Lincoln Park on All Hallows Eve. What seemed like an innocent night out has quickly turned into a nightmare, as you uncover long-buried secrets and face unsettling encounters.


This isn't your ordinary scavenger hunt. It's an outdoor experience perfect for thrill-seekers, history lovers, and ghost story fans, this self-guided tour lets you discover Chicago’s haunted past while solving puzzles and escaping the city’s ghostly legends.


You will visit the Couch Tomb Mausoleum, the last remaining gravesite in Lincoln Park, and stop by the Chicago History Museum to uncover dark tales of cholera victims, Civil War soldiers, and forgotten paupers buried beneath the park. Encounter restless spirits and grave-robbing ghouls as you piece together the city’s haunted past.
