On Friday, August 2, more than 30 Arlington teens put on their sleuthing caps for the first ever Shirlington Village Teen Scavenger Hunt!

Teams dressed up in animal print bandannas, then used their deductive reasoning skills to explore the Village and win some tasty treats and store samples.

Clues to the shops and restaurants included phrases like “Donatello’s favorite snack” for Cafe Pizzaiola, and “Quebecois Shop” for Le Village Marche.

The teens also created thank you cards after the scavenger hunt, for all the participating businesses: 

• Aladdin’s
• AMC Theater
• Cafe Pizzaiolo
• CakeLove
• Caribou Coffee
• Le Village Marche
• Luna Grill
• Ping
• Robek’s
