Manteo Waterfront Scavenger Hunt Rules
You have a boatload of treasure to find. During this treasure hunt, all the clues and answers can be found along the waterfront of downtown Manteo. You won’t need to come into contact with anybody, all locations will be outdoors, and on public property. No answers require touching or lifting items. If you encounter others please be respectful and stay 6 feet apart at all times. The 10 clues will be delivered by text, if at any point you get stuck just reply “hint” for more info.
Safety is our top priority. Using the internet to look up answers or giveaway answers is considered cheating and takes away from the spirit of the game.
