History Hunt Week
Begins August 24th!
What is it?
History Hunt week is a fun way to learn about North Kingstown History, while doing a self-guided driving tour of all 9 villages of North Kingstown. Created with Town Historian and author Tim Cranston, you will hunt for pins on the digital map, through the MooveGo app (downloaded on your smart phone).
You will get one clue at a time, leading you across town to 20 historic locations, and when you get there, you’ll watch a video of Tim telling you what makes each historic place interesting. After each video, you’ll get a challenge - a puzzle to solve, a trivia question to answer, and more. As you earn points, you’ll be entered to win prizes at the FreshMaps table at Family Day, on September 14th, noon - 5pm at Wilson Park!
It starts on August 24th, and your team will have 7 days to complete all the challenges before the app experience expires. Good luck! To get your smartphone key code, please contact Michelle Girasole, at https://freshmaps.us/contact-us/ and provide your name and email address. There is no cost to participate.
