“This was fantastic … We used The Hunt to come up with ideas on exploring Vermont. It made for the perfect weekend getaway!”
HOW THE HUNT WORKS
HOW THE HUNT WORKS
We divide Vermont into six regions and provide a Hunt Clue Packet (i.e., things to do and find) for each region. The clues and experiences vary: One might have you exploring a local walking trail or cycling through a valley; another might have you picnicking in an apple orchard; another may have your visiting landmarks in the area.
For folks who just want to use The Hunt to guide your travels/adventures around the state: Do it! We have been told by many folks over the last few years that they used The Hunt’s clue packets as a travel guide of sorts to help them find things to do and places to explore–and that they loved it! Tag us with #vtcheesehunt on your social media, so we can see your adventures!

FAQs
How long does it take to complete a Clue Packet?
It varies a little bit depending on what tasks you choose to do. Some clues take less time than others–like finding something, then taking a selfie with it. Others take longer, such as those that have a hike or longer bike ride associated with them. And some are in the middle–like having picnic stop! You can create a half-day outing, a day trip, or a weekend adventure. In general, if you begin and pursue The Hunt in the region in which you reside, we’d guess it will take you 3-5 hours to complete most versions of The Hunt if you don’t choose to complete a clue requiring a longer hike or bike ride.
What should I bring with me on The Hunt?
We recommend you read through all the clues in your packet before heading out, so you will know if you’ll need to load up your car with your bike, hiking gear, bug repellant, a picnic, water, sunscreen, cheese (yes, you might need this!!) or anything else. And if you are using the “printed” version of the clue packet/answer uploads, bring a pencil or pen with you!
If we need help finding something, where should we go/what should we do?
Ask locals–shop owners, visitor or welcome centers, chambers of commerce!
What do we do if we think something is wrong with a clue?
