The Southampton BIA’s Flag Quest, in association with the Marine Heritage Festival, is back for a third year, beginning today, Friday, July 21 and running through to Sunday, July 30 at 4 p.m.

The winners will be announced on Monday, July 31st.

Flag Quest is a family friendly scavenger hunt throughout Southampton where players visit local participating businesses and decode nautical flags to spell a word needed to complete the game card. Each completed game card can be entered for a chance to win one of three prizes.

To enter your game card drop it in the lighthouse ballot box located in the Art Gallery in Southampton Town Hall. The three grand prizes are made up of generous donations from local businesses including merchandise and gift cards and correspond to each of the Quests listed on the game card: Admiral - prize valued at over $600; S.S. Trolley - prize valued at over $200; and Lieutenant - prize valued at over $150.

Pick up your game card at any participating business or at the Tourist Information Centre in Southampton Town Hall.
