Great Key Hunt

Here’s how it works:

• History Center Director of Programming & Visitor Experience Adam Macrino announces one clue per week, starting August 18, during the Monday morning newscast at 6 a.m. on Erie News Now. The segment will be repeated on the 4 p.m. newscast. In case you miss it, you can catch up on the Erie News Now YouTube page. And, we’ll repost the clues on our social media.
• The Clue will lead contest participants to a public place where they will find an object that has the History Center logo on it, along with a keyword.
• The keyword will be one of 8 clues that will lead contestants to the location of the final physical key. You find that key, present it to the History Center, subject to verification and win the grand prize of $1,500.

• The placards will be placed outdoors in a public area.  

• Do not remove the placard or disturb it in any way.  

• Be respectful.  

• Grand prize winners may not be affiliated in any way with the Hagen History Center, Erie News Now or the sponsor, Erie Federal Credit Union.  

• Keywords are placed the night before the clue is unveiled on ENN.
• Keywords will remain in the location for one week. When the new clue is put in place, the previous keyword will be taken down.
• The final keyword and grand prize will be placed at the same time. You can only search for the grand prize key during the final week of the contest.
