You start on a bright village street, phone in hand, as the Wallkill River murmurs nearby and the Shawangunk Ridge keeps watch to the west. The scavenger hunt drops you into New Paltz’s downtown—stone storefronts, college energy, and small alleys that dare you to look closer.

New Paltz’s history stretches back to 17th-century Huguenot settlers and a long relationship with the ridge and river that shaped local industry and routes. Geology is visible: the Shawangunks are quartz conglomerate ridges that produce dramatic cliff lines; the town sits on river flats that once powered mills. Culture here mixes college-town creativity, farm-to-table food, and a community comfortable with outdoor life—expect friendly locals and a few practical quirks.
The game alternates indoor and outdoor checkpoints: murals, coffee shops, small galleries, and a scenic overlook are typical stops. You’ll be asked to take photos, interview a shopkeeper, or decode a clue that ties to local history. Pace is flexible—two hours moves quickly if you race, longer if you linger for food or photos.
Practical notes: wear comfortable shoes for uneven sidewalks, keep your phone charged and on data or Wi‑Fi, and plan for parking if you drive. The hunt is family- and dog-friendly; bring a sense of curiosity and basic navigation skills. This is an accessible way to learn local stories while getting outside and moving.
