The Great New Castle Hunt, presented by the New Castle Historical Society, is a one-of-a-kind competitive scavenger hunt created in collaboration with the creative minds at cityHUNT. This event is for ages 21+ only.

Using cityHUNT’s interactive mobile platform on their smartphones, teams will explore New Castle by car and on foot as they solve clues, complete fun challenges, answer trivia, and uncover the rich history, hidden gems, and fascinating stories that make our community unique.

The adventure begins with team orientation at 1:30 PM at the historic Greeley House, where participants will receive instructions before embarking on The Great New Castle Hunt from 2:00–4:00 PM. Every clue, challenge, and successful task earns points, and teams will compete for fun prizes as they race to the top of the leaderboard. The team with the highest score will earn the title of Great New Castle Hunt Champions.

Following the hunt, all hunters and huntresses are invited back to the Horace Greeley House for a celebratory barbecue reception. Le Jardin du Roi is preparing a generous feast worthy of our intrepid adventurers, complete with complimentary beer and wine to enjoy while scores are tallied, stories are shared, prizes are awarded, and this memorable day comes to a close.

Prior knowledge of Chappaqua/New Castle is NOT necessary!
