Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!

Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.

A multi-passionate creative and savvy business owner, Chris will share his remarkable story, from building a painting career to founding and successfully exiting a brand agency.

But this is far from the typical highlight reel that glosses over the stress, strain, struggles, and painful parts, making success seem all but inevitable.

Chris will share the real story behind those adventures: the big wins, the bigger mistakes, the gut punches, and why “making it” is a moving target (at best).

A church Christmas program spins hilariously out of control in this Southern farce about squabbling sisters, family secrets, a surly Santa, a vengeful sheep and a reluctant Elvis impersonator.
It’s Christmas time in the small town of Fayro, Texas, but the Futrelle Sisters – Frankie, Twink and Honey Raye – are not exactly in a festive mood.
In fact, the entire cast is dropping like flies due to food poisoning from the Band Boosters’ Pancake Supper.
And when Frankie lets slip a family secret that has been carefully guarded for decades, all hope for a successful Christmas program seems lost, even with an Elvis impersonator at the manger.
But in true Futrelle fashion, the feuding sisters find a way to pull together in order to present a Christmas program the citizens of Fayro will never forget. Their hilarious holiday journey through a misadventure-filled Christmas Eve is guaranteed to bring joy to your world!

ABOUT UNSILENT NIGHT
Unsilent Night is an outdoor soundwalk and global music event created by composer Phil Kline. Since its debut in 1992, this one-of-a-kind holiday tradition has transformed city streets around the world into shimmering, mobile sound sculptures. Participants each play one of four interlocking tracks on their phones or speakers, pressing play together and walking a shared route through town — turning the audience into the performers and the city into a surround-sound experience heard differently from every step and perspective.
