Kingston Scavenger Hunt
Free, self-guided, and built for your phone. Solve riddles around town and post a photo at each spot to check in. No app to download, no account to make — just heads up that posted photos go to the hunt organizers.
How it works
1
Solve the clue
Pick a hunt below and walk to the first spot. Stops unlock one at a time, so there's no skipping ahead — the clue is the game.
2
Snap & post
At the spot, take the photo prompt. Your photo posts to the hunt organizers with your location, and if you're standing in the right place the stop checks itself off.
3
Finish & show off
Find every stop and you'll get a completion screen. Show it at a participating downtown business and tell them the Chamber sent you.
Pick your hunt
Every hunt starts within a short walk of the ferry terminal.
Downtown Discovery
A lazy loop through Kingston's walkable core — the ferry dock, the marina, two parks, and the main drag. Easy sidewalks the whole way, stroller-friendly, and you're never more than a few blocks from the water.
Start this hunt →Waterfront Wander
A slower ramble along the marina and the Appletree Cove shoreline. Expect some gravel, beach, and driftwood underfoot — wear shoes that can get sandy, and check the tide if you want to see the flats.

- Photos you post are sent to the hunt organizers, along with your location when your phone allows it, so they can verify finds. Don't include anything in the frame you wouldn't share.
- GPS and uploads need signal and permission. No bars, denied permission, or a stubborn phone? The hunt falls back to the honor system and you keep playing.
- Progress saves on your phone automatically, so you can pause for lunch and pick the hunt back up later — on the same phone and browser.
- Hunts begin near the ferry dock: walking directions to the start.
- Wondering which businesses honor the finish screen? Check with the Kingston Chamber or just ask at any downtown shop.
