From paint parties to custom murals Becky Killian adds scavenger hunts to her growing list of services
Mermaid Masterpieces, home to the most epic “Best of Rhode Island” and “Best of Newport” award winning paint parties, is now offering local scavenger hunts to its growing list of entertainment services. Incorporating everything that is Mermaid Masterpieces, owner Becky Killian, offers fun, laughter and photography in her hunts while discovering Newport’s unique history and creating lasting memories.
Set in the heart of Newport, Rhode Island, Killian guides guests on a 2-hour epic adventure discovering Newport’s history, local hotspots and hidden gems filled with fun clues and puzzles. Scavenger hunt participants receive a gift bag filled with surprise goodies to help them navigate the twists and turns of the hunt.
“It’s the perfect activity for a bachelorette or bachelor party, family reunion, birthday parties, or team building event,” states Killian. “If you’re a lifelong local or just in town for a few days, it’s a fun way to rediscover Newport!”
Since 2015 Mermaid Masterpieces has been the go-to paint party for friends, families, schools, libraries, churches, and corporate events. Last year in 2020, Becky provided laughter and joy for so many through her free virtual paint parties so friends and families from all over could enjoy each other’s company during a global pandemic.
This summer Mermaid Masterpieces is offering in-person and outdoor paint parties, while observing socially distanced protocols. She has a residency at Greenvale Vineyard, in Portsmouth, RI, that is geared towards kids, while adults enjoy a glass of wine. A custom beach-themed mural painted by Killian is also on display at Frosty Freez, a favorite summer ice cream eatery in Middletown, RI. Strike a pose in front of the mural with your favorite ice cream treat and tag Mermaid Masterpieces and Frosty Freez on social media for a chance to win an ice cream paint party for 10 people. Additionally, when you book a party with Mermaid Masterpieces or participate in one of her public events this summer, you will receive a Frosty Freez ice cream voucher.
