Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!

Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.

Studio Kroner invites you to join us on Friday Sept. 6 from 6-9 pm for the opening reception of “My Ality,” an exhibition featuring new paintings and drawings by renowned artist Cedric Michael Cox. The show runs from September 6- 29.

Cedric Michael Cox is celebrated for his unique blend of surrealism and representational abstraction. His work combines abstract and recognizable images, drawing inspiration from music, nature, architecture, and art history. "My Ality" showcases over twenty new works created from early 2023 to now, exploring styles from hard-edge abstraction to narrative still life and cityscapes.

Artist Statement:

“The exhibition title, My Ality, is inspired by the prefix re- in the word reality. When I think of my work as an artist living in the creative pursuit of beauty, I don’t see my purpose in this reality as refurbished or retraced. Therefore, reality becomes My Ality. In my work, I have found the purest form of existence is constantly moving forward, not backward, in the direction of progress and innovation. Instead of returning to a reality that once was, we can march ahead of our perceptions and prejudgments, turning toward a new Ality as we evolve creatively and spiritually.” - Cedric Michael Cox

Artist Background:

Cedric Michael Cox’s work is featured in corporate collections and numerous public murals throughout the Cincinnati region. His past exhibitions include notable venues such as The Contemporary Arts Center of Cincinnati, The Weston Art Gallery, The Columbus Art Museum, the Dayton Art Institute, and The Taft Museum of Art. Recent highlights include a 20-year retrospective at Caza Sikes Gallery, contributions to the “Black Lives Matter Mural” in front of Cincinnati City Hall, and a large-scale mural for the Cincinnati Zoo’s new elephant house. Cox’s art has been prominently featured in books, magazines, and television and is collected regionally and nationally.

Fall brings food, and that’s a reason to celebrate at this historic jubilee from 19th-century Ohio. Enjoy traditionally prepared foods at our pioneer picnic, join in frontier festivities, toss tomahawks and engage in homesteader hijinks with classic games!
