Nome Scavenger Hunt: When in Nome

About this
scavenger hunt

What does one do when in Nome, Alaska? Head out on an epic scavenger hunt in Nome, of course, and discover this tiny town overflowing with Alaskan charm!

These days, Nome is famous for its Iditarod Dog Sled Trail Race, which follows the route Balti and Togo took in 1925 to save the people of Nome from a Diphtheria epidemic. Before that, Nome was Alaskaʼs last big Gold Rush town. If you know where to look, traces of the mad dash for the precious metal can still be seen today. Plus, more than 60% of Nomeʼs population comprises Iñupiat Eskimos, whose art, language, and culture are the lifeblood of Nome.

During your journey through Nome, you'll walk in the footsteps of the Iditarod, wander through streets that look as if they have been transported straight out of the 1890s, and appreciate local art, language, and culture. You'll also test your powers of observation with trivia and challenges. Some questions require wits and cunning, while others will test your powers of observation. There are also photo challenges that are equal parts fun and memorable.

If you want to get to know Nome's hidden secrets, join us on this Nome scavenger hunt. Who knows? You might even make it to the top of the public leaderboards!

You can do our interactive scavenger hunt at any time. Explore the sights of Nome.

Some of what you'll see: Katirvik Cultural Center, End of the Iditarod
