To promote an anti-littering campaign and its parks, the Bloomingdale Park District has devised a scavenger hunt based around the popular board game Clue.
The game begins May 14 in Springfield Park for residents to find the culprit littering around the area, with rewards for participant who correctly deduce who the culprit is based on clues at the park.
The mystery can be solved as clues are discovered in categories like those used in the board game. Those on the scavenger hunt will find a weapon, such as a keyboard, gym shoes or basketball; a suspect, who is a park district employee like Executive Director Joe Potts or Finance Director June Fergus; and a location where the pretend crime took place.
