Experience the sights, sounds, and flavors of Moscow with a self-guided, outdoor city-wide scavenger hunt. Discover hidden gems as you compete against one another or work together to solve fun, creative challenges. Breaking the date into a beautiful blend of exploration, adventure, and indulgence iโฆ
- Start your adventure at the iconic Bolshoi Theatre, where you'll find your first clue. From there, solve each clue to find your next destination, ultimately guiding you through Moscow's remarkable landmarks and hidden gems. Along the way, stop by one of the local bakeries or candy shops to pick up some traditional Russian treats.
- In the second part of your date, slow down the pace by heading to Gorky Park. Here, you'll stroll along the lake, enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery, and indulge in a picnic. The park is also home to your final destination, where you'll unseal your last clue before completing your scavenger hunt.
- As the sun starts to set, make your way to Sparrow Hills, one of the highest points in Moscow. Here, you will end your adventurous day with an awe-inspiring view of the city skyline during dusk, making for a romantic end to your adventure-filled date.
Preparation steps:
- Start by preparing the clues for your scavenger hunt. You'll want to include plenty of landmarks and points of interest, along with some lesser-known spots. To ensure things go smoothly, use an online map service to plan your route and ensure the walkability between spots.
- Next, plan your picnic. Pick out a selection of your favorite foods that are easy to carry and eat outdoors. If you don't have time to prepare foods, consider stopping at a local bakery for some pastries or a traditional Russian Pirozhki or Pilymeni.
- Finally, keep an eye on the weather. September in Moscow can be unpredictable, so make sure to dress accordingly. If rain is forecast, consider switching your route to include indoor landmarks or museums and make sure to pack umbrellas.

Some tips:
- Try to offer a balance of competitive and cooperative elements during your scavenger hunt. It might be a competitive race to find each location, but solving the clues together can bring a cooperative aspect to the date.
- Pick up some interesting trivia or stories about each location you're going to visit and share them with your partner to make the adventure more interactive and informative.
- Pack sunscreen, hats, and water bottles to make sure you're protected from the sun. Even in the cool weather of September, you can still get a sunburn if you're outside for several hours.
