King Tut Treasure Tour

Posted Jul 27th 2007, 10:00

Participate in a geocaching trail and scavenger hunt connecting 12 Egyptian-themed sites in the city. This activity is just one component of the city’s king-sized celebration in honor of the Tutankhamun and the Golden Age of the Pharaohs exhibition, at The Franklin Institute Science Museum.

Tour Details

The King Tut Treasure Tour is two games simultaneously. The easy version is played with a brochure and players don’t need a Global Positioning System (GPS) locator. The harder version, hosted at geocaching.com (search for GC10PZ9), goes to the same sites, but the clues are slightly harder and rely on the use of GPS coordinates.

At every stop, players will find a hidden box (cache) containing a stamper for stamping their game brochure or geocaching passport. There will also be a log book, since it’s customary for geocachers to sign in when they find a cache. At the final stop, players will present their fully stamped brochure to receive a small prize.
