Kids and adults work together to uncover the stories of creepy places and the ghosts that have haunted them. Starring secret cemeteries, looming skeletons, the haunted homes of Edgar Allen Poe and Mark Twain, bats on a building, Dickensian door knockers, Harry Potter’s nemesis and a gorilla in a window. Not recommended for children under the age of 7. Kids must be accompanied by an adult, and vice versa—teams with only adults are not permitted on this hunt.

Advance purchase is required and tickets can be purchased at watsonadventures.com. Watson Adventures also runs corporate and private scavenger hunts throughout the US.

It looks like this might be a little later than intended, but still going on.

According to BoingBoing:

"Well, I've just had my second flight cancellation from London-Boston in 24 hours, and my new flight doesn't land until 5PM. As many of you know, I'm scheduled to be speaking at MIT's Bartos Theater at 5PM, which means I'm going to be late."
