TalkDeath Cemetery Scavenger Hunt
October 27 @ 2:30 pm - 3:00 pm
The TalkDeath Cemetery Scavenger Hunt encourages people to appreciate and learn about local cemeteries and their histories. It invites community members to visit cemeteries, reducing stigma and demonstrating that cemeteries can be spaces for the living. Participants learn about memorial iconography and history, connect with their community, spend time with friends and loved ones, and reflect on mortality.

How TalkDeath’s Halloween Cemetery Scavenger Hunt Works:
– The more, the spookier! Invite your friends and family
– As always, arrive at Mount Moriah about 10-15 minutes before the start time
– Wait for the clues to drop at at 2:30pm ET(clues are simultaneously posted on TalkDeath’s Instagram, Facebook, and website)
– Explore Mount Moriah looking for monuments that match the clues (think symbolism, names, dates, etc.) within thirty minutes
When you find a clue, take a selfie with it (selfie can simply include your hand – something to identify it’s you in all photos)
– Upload all found clues in the provided form and submit before the end of the thirty minutes (link to form will be shared closer to event date)
– Winners will be announced at 3:30pm ET/ 12:30pm PT
– Prizes will be awarded to whoever finds 13 clues first, the highest number of clues found, and accolades such as most creative photography!
Attendees will receive merchandise and goodies, while supplies last, and the chance to connect with one another as they learn more about Mount Moriah and cemetery history. Hope to see you there!
