Description
A hands‑on kids scavenger hunt where young Secret Seekers use clue cards, maps, and detective tools to solve puzzles and uncover hidden history across Savannah’s historic squares.
Savannah becomes a giant outdoor game board in this hands-on history adventure created for curious young explorers.
Instead of a traditional walking tour, children become Savannah Sleuths, using clue cards and detective tools to investigate historic landmarks, uncover details, decode clues, and solve age-appropriate challenges throughout Savannah’s historic district.
Each stop introduces a new clue and another piece of Savannah’s history. Young sleuths may examine ironwork patterns, search for architectural details, match shapes and symbols, answer historical questions, and solve riddles that guide them toward their next discovery.
A local guide leads the experience from beginning to end. The guide introduces each mission, explains how the detective tools work, shares the history behind the locations, encourages children as they work through the clues, and helps the group discover details they might otherwise overlook. This makes Savannah Sleuths a guided and structured activity rather than a self-led scavenger hunt.
The challenges are designed to encourage observation, problem-solving, curiosity, and participation while children explore Savannah’s historic squares and landmarks. Parents and guardians remain with the group and are welcome to participate alongside their young sleuths.
Along the way, children learn about Savannah’s historic squares, architecture, notable people, and the events that helped shape the city. Rather than simply hearing the history, they interact with the places they are learning about and use their discoveries to complete the next part of their mission.
The experience concludes with a final challenge and a celebratory mission completion, giving young sleuths a memorable way to finish their Savannah adventure.
Perfect for families visiting Savannah, local families, birthday outings, and small group celebrations, Savannah Sleuths turns sightseeing into an interactive historical adventure where children can explore, investigate, learn, and solve clues along the way.
