Unlock It! is a self-guided scavenger hunt experience for the whole family.

Download the map, follow the clues, unlock letters that (when unscrambled) form a keyword, and submit that keyword for entry to be entered to win fun prizes.

Thanks to Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF) for their partnership and generous grant donation, we will be adding additional maps. Please check back soon.
