Thanks for playing!
The Searching for Shakespeare Scavenger Hunt is now over, and we have archived the game’s website.
With everyone’s help, the community found all 18 of Shakespeare’s plays that might have been lost without the First Folio. Congratulations!

At 9 DC Public Library locations and in various Little Free Libraries across the District, seek and find the 18 Shakespeare plays that were first printed and preserved in the First Folio.
The Searching for Shakespeare Scavenger Hunt, developed with Game Genius, is a fun activity to do with family and friends during Shakespeare’s birthday month.
Join the hunt to discover stories new and old!
