Flagstaff Festival of Science 3rd Annual Science Scavenger Hunt
The Flagstaff Festival of Science is excited to invite you to participate in our 3rd Annual Science Scavenger Hunt,
taking place on Saturday, May 2, 2026. This free, city-wide event brings the community together for a fun and
interactive celebration of science and discovery throughout Flagstaff. Last year, we had 60 participants, and we
expect that number to grow in this year’s event.
The Flagstaff Festival of Science has proudly fostered curiosity and learning in Northern Arizona for more than
three decades. The Scavenger Hunt extends that mission by creating meaningful connections between local
organizations and the community in a memorable, hands-on way.
The Scavenger Hunt engages teams of all ages as they follow creative, science-inspired clues to explore local
businesses and organizations across the city. We would be honored to include your venue as a host location in
this popular community experience. Participation is simple and comes at no cost. We ask that host venues:
- Provide free access to participants wearing official Scavenger Hunt swag item during the event, and
- Select an item within your space to feature in the Hunt and collaborate with us to create a clue that guides
participants to it. (Since the Scavenger Hunt items are “collected” by participants who take a selfie photograph
with the item, there is no need to give anything away.)
This is a great opportunity to welcome new visitors, increase visibility, and connect your organization with a
diverse and enthusiastic audience—while demonstrating your support for science education and community
engagement.
We would be happy to discuss how participation can be tailored to align with your organization’s goals and to
collaborate on a clue that highlights what makes your venue unique.
Thank you for considering this invitation. We hope you will join us in making the 2026 Science Scavenger Hunt
an engaging and successful community event. Please confirm your participation by March 31, 2026.
