The Great Pumpkin Chase

You and your friends are invited!
Come for an adventure to find clues throughout Charlottesville and solve the mystery of the Great Pumpkin.

What is the Great Pumpkin Chase?

The GPC 2023 is a city-wide scavenger hunt for any youth, 6th-12th grade. The event begins at 6pm sharp on the evening of Friday, October 27, 2023 at CrossLife Community Church (1410 Old Brook Rd, at Rio Road), and will end by about 11pm. If there's inclement weather on Friday night, we will postpone until the next night, on Saturday the 28th.

Teams of participants, consisting of 6-12 people with 1-2 adult drivers/chaperones, will make their way throughout the evening to different waypoints throughout Charlottesville, each of which are well-known, safe public places. At each waypoint teams will have to work together to solve puzzles, complete challenges, and earn points by collecting artifacts along the way.
