"What should we do with our kids today?" That's the question Chad Brodsky and his wife, Liana, set out to answer with Kid Krawl, a new on-demand scavenger hunt that launched in Newton, Mass., on May 25.
The premise is simple: Kids ages 4-9 solve clues to find a puppy named Olly, who will lead them on a tour of local businesses, culminating in a photo opportunity with Olly himself and a sweet treat, per a press release.
"With my expertise in child development, each Krawl is designed to be both fun and educational," Liana Brodsky, who holds a master's in early childhood education, says in the press release.
Kid Krawl offers more than $25 worth of surprises, including a children's book, ice cream, and a Krawl goodie bag, per the Boston Globe.
Tickets are $35 per child and can be booked up to an hour before the start of the hunt, which runs from 11am to 4pm daily.
In addition to entertainment and educational elements, Brodsky says Kid Krawl is designed "to entertain, educate, support local businesses, and provide the perfect answer to the age-old question: 'What should we do with our kids
