Scavenger Hunt!
Scavenger Hunt – Instructions
Make a team! Your team should be 8 people or less. Your team will receive 10 bonus points if you have 2 different departments on your team. You’ll receive 20 bonus points for 3 or more different departments.
Start sculpture hunting! Follow the clues and locate the sculptures. Be sure you get the name of the sculpture! Take pictures! Take a picture with each sculpture on the scavenger hunt. At least one team member must be in each picture for it to count!
Submit your photos! Use this link to Survey Monkey (or the QR code on the back of the printed Scavenger Hunt page) to submit your photo answers to Survey Monkey. You’ll have to upload your pictures, the sculpture titles, and the names and department for your team members. Only one Survey Monkey submission per team is needed.
Meet the deadline! Submit your sculpture hunt answers by 2:45pm!
Rack up the points! Each clue is worth 10 points (there are 2 clues that are worth double the points!). The team with the most points, wins!
