CALLING ALL HIGH DESERT SLEUTHS!
SOLVE THE MARVELOUS MYSTERY TOUR II
(NOW WITH A HIDDEN RIDDLE CHALLENGE)
AND YOU MAY WIN UP TO A $125 VISA GIFT CARD!
Have a little outdoor fun that's more challenging than your usual walk. Here’s a marvelous way to notice things you’ve passed a hundred times in High Desert — and you might win a $75 or $125 Visa Gift Card!
It’s a QR Code scavenger hunt designed to promote awareness of your community while adding a fresh layer of adventure.
Level One: Find, Scan, and Win
The tour features 25 close-up contest pictures, all taken at familiar High Desert signs, gates, stone benches and other landmarks — everyday objects you may never have really noticed.
- On August 21, go to highdesertliving.net/MysterySites or click this link.
- View the 25 contest photos.
- Find where each photo was taken. NOTE: All locations are in public spaces — no private property or gated villages.
- At each location, FIND the hang tag and SCAN the QR code on the back.
- Enter your name in the subject line, press send — each email counts as a find!
The entrant with the most correct finds will receive a $75 Visa Gift Card.
Level Two: The Hidden Riddle Challenge for Super Sleuths
This year, each hang tag also has a riddle to solve. On the back of each tag you'll find one word or more words of the riddle, followed by the first letter of the next word in the riddle.
For instance, if you find word and letter pairs such as, "Where m", "mesas m", "meet t", "the m" and "morning l", a line in the riddle would be, "Where mesas meet the morning light."
As you enter each scan, make a note of the word/letter pairs. Once you've found all 25 tags, use your noted word/letter pairs to unscramble the riddle. Be the first to solve the riddle and win the Super Sleuth $125 bonus prize!
