GOLDSBORO, N.C. – A new self-guided scavenger hunt launched in downtown Goldsboro is inviting residents and visitors to explore the city’s rich history through an interactive mobile experience. The Let’s Roam scavenger hunt, suitable for all ages, transforms the downtown area into an adventure playground where participants uncover hidden gems and learn about local landmarks.
Historical Journey Through Downtown
The scavenger hunt takes participants on what organizers describe as a journey “through time like an F-86 Sabre Jet,” highlighting Goldsboro’s aviation heritage and military connections. Teams will explore significant locations including the Wayne County Veterans Memorial, the North Carolina Press Association F-51 display, and sites related to Foster’s Raid, offering participants a comprehensive look at the area’s historical significance.
Interactive Features and Technology
The experience operates through the Let’s Roam mobile app, available on both Android and iOS platforms. Participants receive interactive photo challenges and activities designed to engage groups while earning points for creativity and accuracy. The app guides users through various challenges that can only be completed in person, with answers hidden on plaques, statues, and local artwork throughout the downtown area.
Each participant takes on an interactive role within their team, receiving texted photo challenges and activities designed to enhance group engagement and create memorable experiences.
Flexible Participation Options
Unlike traditional guided tours, this scavenger hunt operates on a self-guided basis, allowing participants to start at any time without reservations or scheduled tour times. The experience typically lasts between 1.5 to 2 hours, giving teams flexibility to explore at their own pace.
The hunt begins at 305 South Center Street in downtown Goldsboro, though participants should note that venue parking is not available at the starting location.
