Communitywide Treasure Hunt All November Long
Go on a communitywide hunt for a plethora of prizes, with new prizes and clues each Tuesday in November (plus a bonus drop on Black Friday), as part of the Golden Turkey Hunt.
The five Ws
- Who: Anyone and everyone.
- What: Weekly clues lead to hidden medallions unlocking treasure troves.
- Where: On public property somewhere in North Liberty.
- When: Each Tuesday in November, a new prize and clue will be released, with a bonus Black Friday prize.
- Why: To explore North Liberty this fall.
What to expect
Starting Nov. 5, each Tuesday (plus a bonus drop on Black Friday, Nov. 29) at 9 a.m. we’ll release a clue on northlibertyiowa.org, Facebook and to those subscribed to our special event emails to find a hidden medallion located somewhere on public property in North Liberty. The first person to find the medallion and return it to the Recreation Department’s front desk will win the week’s prize. If the prize isn’t claimed in the first 72 hours, we’ll release a second clue at noon on Day 3 (usually a Friday). One prize package per household.
