The Houston Public Library is excited to announce that we are participating in the Brain Chase Library Challenge! Brain Chase invites several library systems each summer to participate in a fun library treasure hunt challenge for kids between the ages 6 to 16. We are participating along with Dallas Public Library and Lubbock Public Library in a mini-treasure hunt. The Dallas Public Library challenge kicked off on 5/9/17 and is already solved. The Lubbock Public Library challenge kicked off on 5/16/17 and is also already solved.
Our challenge kicks off today at 3:00 pm and ends on June 30, 2017 or once someone solves the riddle and finds the key.
Kids are provided with a riddle to find a key in a book at one of our library locations. The key opens a treasure chest worth $1,000. The key was hidden this morning. No one is aware of the location. Again no one at HPL knows which HPL location or which book the key was hidden in. The key is attached to instructions on how to redeem it. Brain Chase takes care of redemption with the kid who finds the key and their parents/guardians. Children of HPL staff are unable to receive the prize.
The riddle for the Houston Library Challenge has been released. If you are curious about it please visithttps://brainchase.com/2017-houston-library-challenge-riddle/ or see below:
