Want to make history by being a part of the first “Great Frederick Scavenger Hunt” (9/5 – 12/20) – a city-wide, multi-day, socially-distanced entertainment experience brought to you by Celebrate Frederick, The City of Frederick, and Surelocked In Escape Games? All interested businesses should contact Chris Sparks at
escape@surelockedin.com to become a part of the game!
What is this event?
- A socially-distanced, safe way for families and folks to celebrate Frederick City in the absence of traditions like In The Streets and The Great Frederick Fair
- A partnership between Celebrate Frederick, The City of Frederick, and Surelocked In Escape Games
- A free game that allows all registered players to test their wits and compete for prizes as they scour the City to its limits
What we need from you:
- No money – this is a free event for all participating businesses/organizations
- A time to visit your establishment to craft a unique clue for players to solve (that they can’t Google)
- Your help promoting this event on social media
- The donation of a unique prize (no more that $20 in value) that will inspire the winner(s) to return to your business after the game concludes
- For you to continue to operate as normal during the week of the game (so people can come to you)
What will happen next:
- You reach out to Chris Sparks (escape@surelockedin.com) with your availability for a 5 minute site visit between 8/28 and 9/4 and the answer to this question: “given that all COVID safety measures are being observed, are you comfortable with players entering your business for the game?”
- Standby to receive confirmation of the visit
- Greet a Surelocked In Game Master at the time of the visit onsite
- Spread the word on social media about the event ( https://www.facebook.com/events/1615976038576654/)

The Golden Mile Alliance held a dedication ceremony on Tuesday, August 27th for banners that were installed along the mile and side roads in mid-summer. This project was begun in 2015 and was the culmination of effort and hard work on the part of many people over the years. The banners were designed to give the community a “sense of place” and to define the area for those traveling through the region. Thanks should go to a great many people, including previous GMA board members and current board members, GMA president David Newman, community activist Kris Fair, Tom Brady and associates (who printed and stored the banners) along with the Department of Economic Development, Verizon and First Energy.
Here is just a short clip of the Mayor’s address at the event.
