The hunt is on for hoops: All-Star Scavenger Hunt builds leadup to WNBA All-Star game 2025

WNBA fans can get in on the action coming to Indianapolis in mid-July through a statewide scavenger hunt to win prizes and tickets to the biggest weekend in women's basketball, the WNBA All-Star Host Committee announced June 17.
The All-Star Scavenger Hunt is a trivia-based experience designed to engage Hoosiers and celebrate the history of women's basketball in Indiana, while getting basketball fans excited for the WNBA All-Star weekend, July 18 to 19 in Indianapolis.
'WNBA All-Star Weekend is about so much more than what happens on the court and this scavenger hunt will showcase legendary Indiana basketball moments while sparking some interactive fun along the way,' said Mel Raines, WNBA All-Star 2025 Host Committee Founding Chair and Pacers Sports & Entertainment CEO.
The scavenger hunt will run from June 26 to July 11. Participants will follow clues that test how much history they know about Indiana's female athletes, teams and basketball milestones.
Be the first to arrive at the correct location with the right answer to win prizes and two free tickets to the WNBA Starry 3-Point Contest and Kia WNBA Skills Challenge on July 18 and the AT&T WNBA All-Star game on July 19. Each location will also feature interactive games, special guests, music and more fun facts about Indiana's basketball world.
Registration is open at allstarhunt2025.com where Hoosiers can access early clues. These clues will be sent to registrants' emails one hour before they are shared publicly on social media including Facebook, Instagram, and X.
