About the Game
Don't miss the fun! To play The Great Park Pursuit, all you need is a minimum two-member team (one adult 18 years or older and one child under 18) and the desire to have a great time, all while discovering the beauty and activities in New Hampshire State Parks.
The Great Park Pursuit is a six-week contest that will have you decoding clues, discovering state parks throughout the state and participating in fun activities and challenges - all for a chance to win prizes. The game kicks off on Saturday, May 19 at Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown. Teams are welcome to arrive anytime between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and enjoy the variety of activities planned for the day!
Each week, you'll be provided with an email clue to one of New Hampshire State Parks. Additional hints will be provided throughout the week, via email, to help you figure out which park you need to visit next. At each park, you'll be asked to complete an activity - hike, fish, participate in a scavenger hunt and more. Teams will be awarded 10 points for each park visited.
Three of the parks in the game require attendance on specific Saturdays. To receive points for these "guided" events, teams must have at least one team member over 18 and one team member under 18 check-in anytime between 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and participate in at least one activity.
The remaining three parks in the game are "self-guided" events, meaning teams may visit these parks anytime during that weekend or at least prior to the next event. To earn points for self-guided parks, teams must complete the designated activity (to be described in a future clue) and present the required proof-of-visit at the second-to-last event.
