How The Events Works:

We will be meeting up at Nathan Phillips Square (north side of skating rink) at 1pm. Feel free to be early. Don’t be late!

We will be creating teams of 6-8 people, each with their own team name. If you come alone, we’ll be sure to find you a group, and if you come with friends, don’t worry you can stay with them! Groups can be smaller than 6 (if people want), but no bigger then 8.

The scavenger lists will then be handed out, as well as posted online. The list will contain tons of activities found throughout the downtown core. You will be tasked to complete challenges, find obscure items, solve puzzles, find answers, and take silly pictures. Some will be easy, and others will be quite challenging

You will have a max of two hours to search. With bonus points awarded if you return early. We will be meeting back up at Nathan Phillips Square to tally the points.

Let the scavenge begin!
