Are You Ready for Adventure?

 

To celebrate National Scavenger Hunt Day, The Rook Room is sending you on a special quest – a Treasure Quest!

While National Scavenger Hunt Day is Tuesday, May 24th, we’re celebrating with Treasure Quest on Saturday, May 28th, to make sure as many adventurers can take part as possible.

On Saturday, 10 purple Rook Coins will be hidden across the Greater Des Moines area near unique landmarks and locations special to The Rook Room. That morning and throughout the day, we will be providing clues to the locations of each on our website and on social media.

How to Play

Treasure Quest is completely free to play. Be the first to decipher the clues and snag one of the Rook Coins before someone else does and you will be rewarded with a special prize – free admission to one of our upcoming events and your first drink is on us*.

Each coin has a special, magic code attached to it. Once you find it, follow the attached instructions to claim your prize. We’d also love it if you take a photo and posted it on social media while being sure to tag @therookroom and using the hashtag #rookroomtreasurequest.

Important: Coins will not be placed in dangerous or inaccessible locations. Coins are located in publicly available spaces unless otherwise noted and with the property owner’s permission. You will not have to pay any fees to retrieve a coin. You will not need to climb, crawl, destroy property, or defeat any enemies to retrieve coins. Please play safely and respect the people and environment around you. Treasure Quest will continue rain or shine – adventure doesn’t wait for perfect weather.

To make sure that everyone has a chance to play and win, winning coins are limited to one per person. 

* Some exclusions apply. Discount cannot be used for Puzzlepalooza team ticket purchase. Free drink purchase limited to less than $10. Ticket discount and complimentary beverage must be redeemed at the same event. Limit one token per person. Discounts cannot be stacked and must be used by December 31, 2022.
