Join us for the return of Roam Away from Home:
A Real-Life Scavenger Hunt!
Play at your own pace anytime the week of October 4–10
We’re back! And this year we’ve got new clues, off-the-beaten-path locations and a few new twists. We hope that you will join us as a detective for our scavenger hunt—this year with an online auction component!
Sign up as an individual or with your friends to gather clues and complete challenges at your own pace without crowds throughout Cincinnati! Great fun for adults and children!
You choose the date and time —just make sure you participate between Monday, October 4 to Sunday, October 10.
Go at your own pace—it’s not a race! But that doesn't mean you can't win! All those who finish the scavenger hunt will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win some great prizes from Coney Island, Cincinnati Nature Center, Kings Island Tickets, Cincinnati Zoo, FC Cincinnati and more!

The first installment premieres at 7 p.m. Monday, Oct. 4, co-presented by Community Shares and Equality Ohio. “The Cincy Rainbow” examines Cincinnati’s relationship with its LGBTQIA+ communities through a critical lens, from earning the nickname “America’s most anti-gay city” in the 1990s to a culture of inclusion and acceptance throughout most of the city today. The conversation will also discuss the current struggles and attacks against populations within the larger LGBTQIA community. |

They hop aboard a battered old bus nicknamed Priscilla searching for love and friendship, and end up finding more than they ever imagined.
With a dazzling array of outrageous costumes and a hit parade of dance-floor favorites including “It’s Raining Men,” “I Will Survive,” “Hot Stuff,” “Boogie Wonderland,” “Go West,” “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun,” and “I Love The Nightlife,” this wildly fresh and funny musical is a journey to the heart of fabulous.
