About this
scavenger hunt

This epic nautical Newport scavenger hunt is an outdoor, app-based game that'll take you on a fun and knowledge-filled journey through the streets of Newport, Oregon.

The land that is now known as Newport, Oregon, was originally stewarded by the Yaquina Tribe, for whom the centerpiece of the town, Yaquina Bay, is named. Many years have passed since the Indian Removal Wars displaced the Yaquina to the Siletz Reservation, where many of their descendants live today. In the time since, homesteading began, fishing thrived, and a railroad made it a hit-tourist destination among turn-of-the-twentieth-century Pacific Northwesterners. These days, the town is a quirky hodgepodge of nature-loving tourists, brightly colored shops, loyal hometown fishermen, and the occasional marine scientist. To top it off, there's even a small but thriving community of sea lions!

On this nautical Newport scavenger hunt, you and your teammates will explore the little Central Coast city. You'll check out iconic landmarks as well as lesser-known hidden gems. You'll visit the Newport Historic Bayfront, where you'll learn about the local fishing industry and wander through bright shops and welcoming restaurants.

Along the way, you'll compete for points and the chance to earn a place on our Newport, Oregon, leaderboard. Challenges include trivia-style questions, which require keen wits and a keener sense of observation, and photo challenges, where you'll share laughs and triumph while making lasting memories. If youʼre looking to have fun, and take an insider's look at Newport, Oregon, join us for the nautical Newport, Oregon, scavenger hunt today!
