Now in its 22nd year, Doors Open Jamestown is coming up Saturday, Jan. 24, with numerous local attractions and businesses participating. Doors Open is a fun day designed as an opportunity for people who live in the region to experience what tourists see in the Jamestown area, featuring a wide variety of outstanding local museums and cultural institutions. The attractions open their doors for free during what would otherwise be a slow time of year.

Not only is this a terrific in-person event, but it also includes an online scavenger hunt! Participating attractions are donating merchandise which will be assembled into three prize baskets. All individuals attending Doors Open are encouraged to play.

From your first stop of the day, just find the answer to that venue’s question and use the QR code (or visit go.chqchamber.org/experiences) to launch the game pass on your mobile device. You will input basic contact information and then will get a text featuring a direct link to the pass. Then, at each subsequent location, you just need to open your text thread to the pass and answer the next quiz question. No matter how many attractions and businesses you visit, please be sure to complete your pass by clicking the “rewards” icon and then click Claim Now to complete your drawing entry. The drawing will remain open for several hours after Doors Open is finished to allow for pass completion. Prize winners will be randomly drawn from these entries and winners will be notified Monday, January 26. If you have questions about the pass or how it works, visit the CHQ Chamber on Doors Open day.
