Breakout Games Brings $2K Cash Treasure Hunt To Baltimore

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Looking to earn some extra cash? Well, you're in luck.

Breakout Games is bringing its national treasure hunt to Baltimore. Locals can search for $2,000 hidden throughout the city on Thursday, July 25.

"Safety is obviously a priority, so what that looks like is all of the money is hidden within walking distance," Adam Walker, of Breakout Games, said. "So we encourage participants to park their car and they'll be on foot for the duration of the hunt for three hours."

From 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. game masters surrounded by red balloons will spread the word in Baltimore by handing out cards with details on the evening's treasure hunt. The treasure hunt will be from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.

The event is free to participate. Coordinates will be released every 30 minutes from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. via breakoutgames.com/baltimore, leading to hidden $100 bills.

"It's also just a fun event where we see a lot of families come out," Walker said. "They end up having a blast looking for money together."

Breakout Games did this event last year and had about 4,500 people participate, so you won't be the only one.
