Newark and Licking County have a long history of glassmaking, rooted in factories like the Newark Star Glass Works, whose “Star” symbol inspired the Star Bottling logo. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, Explore Licking County’s “Find the Glass” scavenger hunt invites the community to discover hidden handmade glass treasures in parks and public spaces, celebrating the region’s glassmaking legacy and inventive spirit. https://findtheglass.com/

Hello and welcome to Find the Glass 2026! We can’t wait for this season’s scavenger hunt to kick off. Whether you’ve played before or are joining us for the first time, we’ve added some new twists while keeping your favorite parts from past years.
One of the biggest updates this year is our new Find the Glass website (https://findtheglass.com). Over the winter, we built a player-focused dashboard where you can register, get email hints, receive live text messages, log your finds, and join our new Hall of Fame. That’s just the start. The dashboard also helps you check park difficulty levels and find great stops for coffee, ice cream, or other treats while you’re out hunting.
That’s not all. In 2026, we’re marking the 250th anniversary of the United States with a special piece of glass. This year, you’ll search for glass inspired by Licking County’s glassmaking history: it’s round, bottle-green, and has a raised star in the center. We’re also including a select number of the original flint point designs every week for those who love the classic hunt.
One thing that hasn’t changed is the playing season. This year’s hunt runs from Memorial Day weekend through Labor Day weekend. Kick off is Friday, May 22, and our final hint for the season will drop on Friday, September 4th.
If you’re ready, so are we. Get out there and start the adventure.
