Bergen County Players to Launch Interactive Scavenger Hunt To Win Free Tickets to THE 39 STEPS

The historic Bergen County Players will host an interactive community scavenger hunt running from Thursday, April 30 through Sunday, May 3.

In celebration of BCP's upcoming production of the hit comedy thriller The 39 Steps, 39 numbered silhouettes of the show's dashing hero, Richard Hannay, will be hidden at secret locations throughout the Borough of Oradell. Residents and visitors are invited to step into the shoes of a detective to track down the elusive fugitives for a chance to win exclusive prizes.

How to Play:

The mystery begins at Stop #1: The Little Firehouse Theatre (298 Kinderkamack Road, Oradell). Participants can pick up their official clue sheets at the theater starting April 30 to begin their journey through the borough. To qualify for prizes, hunters must take a "selfie" with the Hannay cutouts they discover (and tag it with both #BCPTHE39STEPS and #ORADELLUNDERCOVER).

The Rewards:

• Find 10 Silhouettes: Be entered into a drawing for a pair of tickets to see The 39 Steps.
• Find 20 Silhouettes: Be entered into a drawing for two pairs of tickets (four tickets total).
• The Ultimate Sleuth (Find all 39): The first participant who locates every single silhouette will automatically win a pair of tickets to The 39 Steps AND a pair of tickets to a show of their choice during the upcoming 2026-2027 season.

The winners and the highly anticipated 2026-2027 season lineup will be officially announced during BCP's Annual Open House on Saturday, May 16. The Open House is free to the public and offers a behind-the-scenes look at the theater's operations.
