The Fairbanks Summer Trails Challenge is here! Starting June 15th!
The Fairbanks Trails Challenge is an all-ages, all-abilities, outdoor scavenger hunt of epic proportions! Each summer, Parks Department staff temporarily installs special signs in secret locations along a dozen or so local trails. As you search for the signs, we hope you have a chance to learn new skills, see new places, and make positive memories!
Can you solve a murder mystery?
Another crime took place in the Fairbanks North Star Borough – oh no! You are the town’s newest detective and we need your investigative skills to figure out which of our suspects has a secret worth killing for! The only thing is you don’t have any evidence to solve the crime... yet. Use your sleuth and prowess to collect definitive proof of the murderer, murder weapon and crime location. Clue 2 has word riddles, locked clues & more!
Play along from July 10th - July 31st!
