Asheville Urban Odyssey

presented by:

otflogo.jpg

The Asheville Urban Odyssey is the most fun scavenger hunt you will ever do and a perfect representation of Asheville. Teams of four will leave Urban Orchard Tap Room - on the south slope, every ten minutes beginning at 12 noon and follow a series of clues to both obscure and well known Asheville locations.

 

At each location, a team member must complete a specific task before receiving their next clue (each team member will need to complete two tasks). After a team completes its eighth task they will make their way back to Urban Orchard for their final challenge. The completion of the final challenge will constitute the finish time.

 

The use of smartphones is not only allowed but highly encouraged.

Teams can phone a friend or ask passersby for assistance. 

The only rule is you follow traffic laws along the route.

BIG THANKS to Urban Orchard for being our Base Camp
