Dayton Unknown Virtual Photo Scavenger Hunt

Posted on by
Welcome to 2021!

We at Dayton Unknown hope this year will start a return to normal life, but in the meantime, let’s try to enjoy our unique situations!

Dayton Unknown will be hosting a Virtual Quarantine-themed Photo Scavenger Hunt! Instead of meeting in person and everyone takes pictures of the same location, this time the fun can take place at home! All you have to do is take pictures and submit the captioned photos to us at daytonunknown@hotmail.com by March 31st, 2021.

Picture submissions can be funny, creative, literal, or any other way you can imagine! We look forward to seeing your submissions! You can follow all the prompts, or just choose a select few that inspire you!

Here are the prompts:

  • ______ is for ________
  • Work from Home
  • These are a few of my favorite things
  • Wash your hands
  • I love my selfie
  • Wear a mask!
  • Another perspective
  • Seeing red
  • Quarantine style
  • How I spend my day
  • Eat your heart out
  • Keep it Clean!
  • Through the Looking Glass
  • We are in this together
  • Social Distance

We’ll share the results in another post after the submission date!

Dayton Unknown Rocks

Posted on by

We’ve decided to start a new project/activity in the Dayton area, and we are so excited!

When Bethany visited Richmond, Indiana last year, she discovered the Wayne County Rocks, and was inspired to start this in Dayton!

We are in the process of painting rocks with different designs and will be placiing them around Dayton.

Here are a few examples:

Our goal is for you to find the rocks, take pictures and post them using our hashtags on the back of the rock, and then you have the choice to either re-hide the rock somewhere else (anywhere in the world!), keep it for yourself, or give it away.

Dayton Unknown Spotlight: Laurana Wong

Posted on by
Back in October, we hosted the Dayton Unknown Fall Scavenger Hunt at Wegerzyn Gardens. It was a beautiful fall day, and we had some great submissions from our participants. We awarded two prizes, one of which is a feature story here on the blog. Our winner of this prize is Laurana Wong – an incredibly fascinating character.
We came up with fifteen questions we thought would truly showcase Laurana’s personality and told her that she could pick and choose which questions to answer. In true Laurana form, she decided to answer all of them! We hope you enjoy learning about her as much as we did!
