Friday, October 2 — downtown Kokomo
5:30–8:00 PM is the official First Friday event time — but the hunt runs on your schedule. The QR codes stay up after the event, so you’re welcome to play at your own convenience, for as long as the QR codes remain posted. Running late? Completed cards turned in at the Artworks Gallery front desk by 9 PM still enter the Mystery Prize Basket drawing.
A family-friendly evening — kids are encouraged to come hunt with a parent or guardian. Please use crosswalks, and bring a phone and/or flashlight after dark.
