illi News/10331293

CHICAGO - illiNews -- Chicago's most anticipated citywide adventure is back! The 5th Annual Chicago Scavenger Hunt, presented by 77 Flavors and powered by eATLAS, returns with an immersive new theme: "Crossroads of Chicago"—a dynamic celebration of iconic architecture and the legacy as the nation's most important transportation hub. The event also marks a major milestone: the 5th anniversary of 77 Flavors.

A signature Chicago experience, drawing in teams to rediscover the city in creative and unexpected ways, the crossroads theme invites participants to explore how all roads, both literal and figurative, lead to Chicago.

"Chicago has always been a city in motion," said Dario Durham co-founder of 77 Flavors. "From its groundbreaking architecture to its role as a national transportation hub, everything is connected. This year's theme brings those connections to life in a way that's interactive, educational, and fun."

77 Flavors exists to foster a deeper appreciation of place and to combat historical erasure by telling stories that have too often been overlooked. History is not only found in textbooks or archives. It lives in buildings, street names, food, music, and the memories of the people who have been here before us. When those stories go undocumented, entire communities disappear from the narrative of a city. 77 Flavors believes that learning your local history is the first step toward claiming your place within it.
