Līhuʻe Loop/Kalena Park scavenger hunt

Do you remember when you were growing up how much fun it was whenever you heard “We’re going to have a scavenger hunt”? It did not matter if you were hunting for toys, specific items, candy, or whatever — it was just fun.

Good news! It turns out, adults like scavenger hunts just as much as you did as keiki.

Hello fun! Get Fit Kauaʻi has coordinated a scavenger hunt in the heart of Kaua‘i. There is no charge to enter the hunt, valuable prizes will be awarded to Kauaʻi residents, and contestants may enter and complete the hunt using their mobile device’s web browser. Contestants launch the scavenger hunt by starting at Kalena Park, accessing LihueLoop.com, and then following the clues around the 1.3 mile Līhuʻe Loop walk.

Get Fit Kauaʻi partnered with the talented game developers at the Society of Curiosities (formerly Kauaʻi Escape Room) to bring you the Līhuʻe Loop Scavenger Hunt! Such a great way to exercise your mind while exercising your body!

This exciting challenge is fun for the whole family, and the best part is there’s no limit to how many times you can play! Find each of the eight scavenger hunt locations around the Līhuʻe Loop. Solve one challenge at each location. If you get stuck, multiple clues are provided at each location.

Līhuʻe Loop is an ongoing project to promote physical activity and enjoyment in Lihue’s town core. Currently, the Līhu’e Loop features a single 1.3-mile self-guided audio walking tour route from Kalena Park, around Hardy Street, onto Eiwa Street, and finally Rice Street back to Kalena Park. There are now 19 points of interest along the route, and each point is significant to the history and culture of Līhuʻe town. Each point of interest has a QR code that links to a brief audio file telling the story of the site.

This is a community-norm change effort advanced by Get Fit Kauai’s Built Environment Task Force.  These walking tours are just one part of a larger program promoting community use of centrally located Kalena Park. For more information please visit Get Fit Kauaʻi.
