A month-long scavenger hunt where participants track Waldo across twenty-five local businesses in Austin.
Find Waldo ATX kicks off at BookPeople on Saturday, August 1, and it's not just a one-day thing. It's a month-long scavenger hunt presented by the bookstore, and that Saturday marks the start of the search. The premise is simple: you've got to track Waldo across twenty-five participating local businesses around Austin throughout the month.
Since it's a scavenger hunt, the work happens out in the city rather than in one spot. You'll be visiting those twenty-five different businesses, each one a stop on the trail, and keeping an eye out for Waldo as you go. The whole thing runs for the full month, so you can take your time working through the list or try to knock them all out in a few long weekends. It's as much about getting out and seeing different parts of town as it is about the search itself.
BookPeople is the starting point, and they're the ones presenting the whole thing. If you're already a regular there, it's a convenient place to get your bearings before you head out to the other twenty-four locations. From there, the hunt spreads across the city, with Waldo popping up at businesses all over Austin. You'll want to keep a running list of where you've been and where you still need to go, because twenty-five stops add up.
