Where’s Waldo? Find him in 23 local shops in July!

During the month of July, you can find Waldo at 23 local Houston stores! No purchase in necessary… just visit any of the participating stores, grab a passport, and get to searching for Waldo!

Collect at least 10 different store stamps and bring them to Brazos Bookstore to claim a “I Found Waldo” button and $1 off coupon.

Find Waldo at all 23 local businesses and and be entered to win a 6-volume deluxe set of Waldo books and fantastic prizes from our Find Waldo Local partners. (Many shops are next door to each other, so you won’t be driving all over town!)

Prizes will be given at the Brazos Bookstore party on Saturday, August 1 at 1:00pm.

We participated in this scavenger hunt the last two summers and had a GREAT time. It is easy, air conditioned and fun. In some stores, it’s easy to find Waldo. In others, it is a huge challenge!

You do not need to purchase anything at the 23 stores, but it is fun to see them. Last year I found some very unique gifts while searching for the little Waldo figure.

The participating stores are:

I think this real life “Where’s Waldo” hunt sounds like a lot of fun!

For all the details, go HERE. From the website:

1) Beginning July 1st, Where’s Waldo seekers can print or pick up a “Find Waldo Local in Houston” passport with the names and addresses of participating stores at Brazos Bookstore.
2) Let the scavenger hunt begin! Visit these participating local businesses and find the Waldo hidden in each one!
3) Get your passport stamped or signed for each Waldo you spot, then bring back your filled passport to Brazos to earn prizes!

The first 100 Waldo seekers to get their passports stamped or signed at ten or more sites can bring their passports back to Brazos Bookstore to collect prizes. Collecting store stamps or signatures at all participating businesses will entitle diligent seekers to entry in a grand prize drawing on July 31, with the top prize being a 6-volume deluxe set of Waldo books!
