It’s about time they let us eat during these things: Munch Around the Market

If you’ve always sworn to the heavens above that this is the year you really will go on a scavenger hunt from Watson Adventures, it’s time to make it so. Need an additional inducement? Food! Glorious food! This unique event for adults will not only have tricky questions leading you all over Reading Market Terminal and the nearby area of Chinatown in Philadelphia but you get to sample amazing food in the process. They like to call it Munch Around The Market.

No more fears that you’ll die for lack of nourishment whilst pondering an especially tricky question like “What should you do so your spouse can never cash in on your life insurance policy?” Answer: drink buttermilk.

Huh? Never mind.

Let’s talk more about the food. How about artisanal chocolates, heavenly cheesecakes, fried dumplings, soft pretzels, cappuccino, cupcakes, roast pork, mooncake, and Amish baked delicacies?

What do you need to do to participate? Whether you’re a local or out-of-towner, call Watson Adventures at 877-946-4868 to find out when the next one is or to schedule a private hunt for your group or family. The Market it open 8 AM to 6 PM Monday through Saturday and 9 AM to 4 PM on Sunday. Watson Adventures recommends you set up your hunt to take place Wednesday through Saturday to take advantage of the Pennsylvania Dutch stands while they are open.

All you need are comfortable walking shoes and to bring $10 in cash for food purchases. More information about the hunt can be found at their website here. Sorry, advance purchases only. You can’t just show up. They need time to prepare for you!
