Albany I Spy 2017

Albany I Spy logo 2017

The popular Albany I Spy history/architecture scavenger hunt from Albany Archives returns August 12 in downtown Albany with a new format. Blurbage:

We're switching things up a bit this year though. The first five picture clues will be available to hunt early on August 7th and those last seven, you'll have to arrive at The City Beer Hall at noon, Saturday August 12 to find out what they are and you will be timed! That's right, Albany I Spy is now a timed event! Whichever team finishes the quickest will be crowned (figuratively only of course) the new kings and queens of Albany scavenger hunts.

That link above includes the rules. Among them: There will be a three-hour time limi on August 12 and teams and are limited to six people. It's free to play, but teams must be registered by August 11 at 6 pm.

As in years past, there will be prizes from local businesses. The first three teams to finish get to pick from the prize packages.

AOA is a media sponsor of Albany I Spy.

Say Something!

We'd really like you to take part in the conversation here at All Over Albany. But we do have a few rules here. Don't worry, they're easy. The first: be kind. The second: treat everyone else with the same respect you'd like to see in return. Cool? Great, post away. Comments are moderated so it might take a little while for your comment to show up. Thanks for being patient.
