“Keep Portland Weird!” is the battle cry on many a bumper sticker. Well, what’s weirder than bumbling around town with your colleagues, laughing your heads off and getting it all on video? Maybe an armada of tall bikes would be weirder, but Run Brain Run would say those are great ways to do your Portland duty! We won’t issue bikes, but you’ll really appreciate just how walkable and bike-able, weird and wondrous Portland (the Pacific Northwest’s best kept secret) really is. Play your day away the Portland way!

Pearl District: Search Party + Alias & Alibi

With a name like “The Pearl District” one expects the finest in living, art, culture and cuisine. What you might not expect is a fantastically walkable jungle of green-friendly business, homes and attractions, very modern and “LEED” architecture, uncommon views, parks, totem poles, and friendly, down-to-earth people. We even bumped into Star Trek’s Jeri Ryan once at a paper boutique. Boldly take your Run Brain Run away-team to this outdoor frontier! Engage!

Central City: Search Party + Play It Forward + Alias & Alibi

Ahhh, the great outdoors: Gorgeous waterfront park grounds, oodles of shopping stops, historical buildings, a purple octopus, the MAX, parks, Voodoo, and multiple Stumptown cafes. Portland’s Central City abounds with everything you’d want from an outdoor urban diversion, but weirder! And don’t be surprised if you run into other Run Brain Run teams noodling their way through town.

Portland Art Museum: Search Party

To Run Brain Run, the Portland Art Museum is the West Coast’s oldest repository for 42,000 potential clues! Art is about mystery, creation, and discovery, and so is Run Brain Run. That’s why we are thrilled to send you on a delightful six-story venture to make your own history and merriment!

Central Library: Search Party

The nerve center of Portland’s intellect and knowledge, the Central Library is your indoor choice for really brainy fun! We’d like for you to believe that Run Brain Run meetings occur in the Bank Room or in some subterranean, long-forgotten-about office of the library, so we won’t deny it. But we are familiar enough with its stacks to offer you a lively challenge: enjoy your adventure and try not to get too distracted by all those great books and resources!

McMenamin's Kennedy School: Search Party

At McMenamin’s Kennedy School you’ll sorta miss the pencils and the books, and you know, not all teachers had dirty looks! What better place to let your spirit loose than in the halls of a restored, historic elementary school? But this school has been graduated with lush, local folk art, pubs, restaurants, and theater. Bring your game brain, but also bring your bathing suit. This indoor retreat has a soothing soaking pool...with bubble jets!

McMenamin's Grand Lodge: Search Party

At McMenamin’s Grand Lodge you'll soak in the grandeur of this historic building and possibly be tempted to explore the beautiful rural wine-country - but then your team might miss your unique knowledge and talents in helping them decode clues and overcome group challenges! Perhaps some post-hunt frisbee golf? A soak in the spa? The latest film in their theater? Of course you can count on McMenamin's to provide great nosh and suds!

Big Al's in Beaverton: Search Party, Operation Care Kits, Game Show Live!

OMSI: Search Party

“It’s alive!” you’ll shout as your spirit of scientific curiosity is delightfully invigorated by the OMSI’s (that’s the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry to you shut-ins!) 219,000 square feet of interactive education. This indoor escape is sure to stimulate your dome because the OMSI is all about domes with it’s planetarium and OMNIMAX theaters! Discover a new way to play!
