1. What is the Trenton Treasure Quest?
The Trenton Treasure Quest is an “Amazing Race-style” adventure where teams of two drive, walk, and run through the city completing fun and exciting clues. At the beginning of the event, each team will be given a copy of a list of clues that will lead them to a variety of historic, cultural and business locations throughout the City of Trenton. A digital picture will be taken at each of the locations. The teams with the most points win! Some of the proceeds for this event will help support the Trenton Area Soup Kitchen.
