At the world’s first stillhouse legally using Wilkes County’s traditional steam‑injected distillation method, you will step into a space built around a historic technique. As you move through the site, you'll encounter the stillhouse itself and learn about the steam‑injected process that sets it apart from other distilleries. The focus is on the method and its role in producing spirits in the traditional Wilkes County way. Along the way, you'll see how that technique shapes the character of the spirits and why many experts consider these moonshines to be award‑winning and among the most authentic American spirits. The experience connects the craft of distillation with local heritage, giving you a clear sense of how traditional practice and quality combine to create the product the site is known for.

The Blowing Rock Scavenger Hunt and Escape Game is a mystery adventure through the town of Blowing Rock that suits families, solo travellers, work colleagues, couples on a date and anyone who wants a fun way to explore. You will solve a task at each stop as you move between local landmarks, including Martin House, Ragged Gardens Inn, Blowing Rock Museum, Rumple Memorial Church, Hanna's Oriental Rugs, the Watauga Hotel, Miller Robbins House and St Mary of the Hills Church. Along the roughly 1 mile route, you will find clues, learn fun facts about each site and work through puzzles that tie the story together. The experience uses an app that over 200,000 players have already used to explore other places, and you can play as well. As you walk and solve, the game will guide you from clue to clue while letting you take in the town’s sights at your own pace.

You’ll take part in a one-of-a-kind, immersive scavenger-hunt experience created by an Austin, TX–based event design company that runs events in 300+ cities across North America and beyond. A live, remote host will connect with you via your phone to assist and encourage your team as you move through a specially hand-crafted adventure that blends a walking tour, creative challenges, detective-style puzzles and a light social experiment. As you explore an alternate-reality trail, you’ll uncover the company’s favourite hidden gems and off-the-beaten-track oddities. Along the way you’ll interpret playful clues about art, history and local culture to earn points, and your team may appear on the organiser’s international leaderboard so your effort will be visible to other players worldwide. You’ll effectively be racing teams in other cities even if no one in your own location has signed up that day. Expect surprising discoveries, plenty of laughs and the chance to shape the experience to suit your group.
