49 adventurous teams took on The Pitch Scavenger Hunt 2023
Our Pitch readers must trust us… because, once again, they let us guide them along for an adventure of riddles and challenges that sent them from Olathe to Raytown, then Crossroads to Strawberry Hill, and everything in between. A total of 49 teams joined the Kansas City exploration. We have photographic evidence of each team’s KC expertise, but Pinkies and the Brain took the top prize of $500 and a prize pack from our sponsors! Their tie-breaker submission sealed the deal. KC Pitch Poodles came in a super-close second by showing their personality and Pitch-spirit at every stop. Third place went to a returning team: It’s Always Saucy in Kansas City.
