Providence River Scavenger Hunt
A scavenger hunt for two players, who each hold separate booklets that are bound together by six feet of colorful string. The players walk alongside each other at an enforced distance, working through the prompts in the booklets. They alternate: one partner does the noticing while the other notes their observations. With the next prompt, they switch roles, sharing back and forth.
