Adventure is out there! And by out there, we mean in our own backyard.

For The Pitch’s 2024 Scavenger Hunt, teams solved our riddles and ventured around the metro—from Lenexa to Gladstone, and Independence to West Bottoms. Discovering a mix of fun sponsored stops, KC iconography, and hidden gems, they captured the spirit of our May magazine and got active.

As a special feature this year, I met the gamers at a couple of spots throughout the weekend, handing out water, Vine Street Brewing beer, and Pitch swag. But the teams who visited sponsored stops like Kate Smith Soiree and Duck Donuts were “treated” well with free goodies to fuel their hunt.

“So fun! We saw things never seen before,” says returning team Forever Neon Bulldogs.

Team Whim went all out with themed props for many of the stops. And last year’s champ, Team Pinkies and the Brain, brought back their stellar photo editing skills for a tie-breaker submission as good as (or better than) some of our actual magazine covers.

But it was Team Deeze Nuts who took home first place, $500, and a fab prize pack. They used it as a practice run before applying to The Amazing Race, so let’s hope this is the first of many victories for Deeze Nuts.
