The Puzzle Hunt launches June 15th. It’s free and filled with puzzles for you and your family and friends to solve together. Solve one region’s puzzles or do them all. Each puzzle will lead to a different park in Fairfax County. Solve the puzzles to find which park and go there to find clues for final answers. Walk, bike, and roll safely at our local parks with friends and family! Happy solving!
