Williamsburg, VA March 21, 2012

A text message–based scavenger hunt, hands-on programming, delicious meals, evening activities, art exhibitions, concerts, a nearby amusement park, affordable packages – the makings of the perfect spring experience from Colonial Williamsburg.

Guests will have one last chance to play RevQuest: Sign of the Rhinoceros during a limited run, March 26-April 22, before discovering a new chapter of the game this summer. Colonial Williamsburg’s alternate reality game challenges players eight and up to explore secret hiding places, meet mysterious characters, unlock clues and decipher codes to save the Revolution. The game is free with admission to Colonial Williamsburg and requires a cell phone capable of receiving text messages. Spring guests will also be the first to see the newly reconstructed Anderson Blacksmith Shop and Public Armoury, opening March 31.

New interpretive programs are more engaging than ever, providing an immersive and fun family experience, spanning hands-on history at the Benjamin Powell House, dining at 18th-century taverns, golf, concerts, and more. When the sun sets, the Historic Area is “Live after 5” with a robust schedule of evening entertainment and tavern dining, including storytelling, ghost tours, cresset lighting, music and dancing.
