What You Will Do
Travel back in time to the 1700's on this Self-Guided Patriot Escape Scavenger Hunt! Guests will start out with Free Access to the Fireproof Museum and receive instructions on how to "escape" the British occupation of Charleston.
After receiving the instruction packet, guests will follow the footsteps of a Patriot Spy trying to escape the city and have to find a multitude of hidden gems including historic structures, secret alleyways, and artifacts. All these sites are directly related to the American Revolution as it would affect Charleston specifically and even find out how certain events would have repercussions for other colonies.
This is the ONLY historically accurate scavenger hunt designed by three area historians related to the American Revolution.
*As a moderately difficult escape, we recommended for adults only. We do have a child friendly Pirate Escape Scavenger hunt as well. Good luck Patriots as you embark on this historic one of a kind adventure in Charleston.

Guests can explore at the start of the scavenger hunt or come back after the escape. This self-guided escape is recommended for adults only, families with kids should check out our family friendly Pirate Escape Scavenger Hunt. The Patriot Escape will lead guests to several National Historic Landmarks and many significant sites related to the American Revolution in Charleston. As a Patriot "Spy", you will have to make your way out of the city without getting caught which is determined by how long it takes to finish the Escape. This escape is designed for the avid hobby historian and historian alike, and accurately portrays the events around Charleston nearly 250 years ago during British occupation.
