At Congressional, we are always looking for opportunities to partner with other organizations in our community that are committed to creatively engaging individuals with unique ways to gather and have fun. That’s why we are proud to host National Treasure Hunt’s HEIST NIGHT.
Team up with friends to crack clues, solve ciphers, and hack history as you race against foes to find the missing piece in a nearly 20-year-old treasure hunt! You’ll test your skills in history, science, logic, trivia, and more as you work together to solve escape room-style puzzles in a character-driven quest.

Get your tickets here!
Learn surprising new skills in an exciting night out with your Heist Masters, Aubrey Paris and Emily Black, creators of the National Treasure Hunt podcast, book, and tour. Secrets will be revealed during this one-of-a-kind adventure. Will you join the hunt?
About Your Hosts: National Treasure Hunt provides an interdisciplinary investigation of the National Treasure films from the analytical perspective of Aubrey Paris and Emily Black, nationally recognized franchise experts. Their educational yet entertaining events and activities are inspired by their podcast content and are powered by a belief that pop culture can facilitate meaningful conversations while building community.
Target Audience: Recommended for ages 18+, but younger participants (especially the history-savvy) are also welcome. National Treasure fans might have a slight “edge” when completing some HEIST NIGHT challenges, so if you’ve been looking for an excuse to watch (or rewatch) these popular films, now is the perfect time!
