The 603 History Hunt was a statewide scavenger hunt across the state of New Hampshire. Created by the New Hampshire Historical Society, it was one of several programs and events organized to mark the Society’s 200th anniversary in 2023. The 603 History Hunt presented players with a series of challenges. There were dozens of challenges players could choose. Some could be completed from just about anywhere in the state, while others were tied to a specific region or location within New Hampshire. The Challenges asked players to complete a variety of tasks, such as film a video, take a photograph, answer a trivia question, or scan a QR code. A point value was attached to each challenge. Players chose which challenges to complete and how many challenges they wanted to undertake, and they earned points accordingly. Prizes were awarded based on points earned. Throughout the month of July, players could check the Leaderboard to see how they were doing compared to other players. The challenge ended July 31.
In Hanover, New Hampshire players took their pictures in front of Webster Cottage. One couple came to the cottage when it was open on Saturday, July 29. This photo was part of their scavenger hunt. This is Bob Capone of Portsmouth, NH. He and his wife were at number 27 on that day as far as finding the items on the scavenger list.
