The No-Touch Halloween Scavenger Hunt is Back

Some of the neighborhood’s top Halloween events have been cancelled again this year because of Covid-19, but never fear: some parents who came up with an alternative have done it again.

Here’s how to play:

Back by Popular Demand:

UWS Halloween Character Scavenger Hunt

(An Alternative To Trick Or Treating)

The Rules of the Game:

Put on your Halloween costume on Halloween (Sunday October 31)

Print out the scavenger hunt list (bring a pen!)

Hunt in the windows and glass doors of all the stores on the list for Jack O Lantern, Gus the Ghost or Willow the Witch and circle who you see.

You do not (and should not) have to go into the stores to play the game; all of the characters are visible from the sidewalk (the characters are on circles that are 2 inches in diameter)

Have fun!

Last year many parents gave out candy rewards to their Costumed Halloween Hunters when they got home based on who their kids found and their tally: 1 piece for the Pumpkin, 2 pieces for the Ghost, 3 pieces for the Witch

And speaking of last year: a huge shout out has to go to neighborhood favorites: Columbus Art Gallery, Little Creatures and Columbus Shoe Repair all of whom still have last year’s character in the window because of the delight the game brought to so many kids!.
