Scavenger Hunt
Build a team, network, and see how much you know about UIC!!! In this scavenger hunt you and your team will search for 10 locations that have a unique feature or history to UIC’s campus.
How it works:
- Teams can be 2-5 people, but must be made up of at least 2 people from 2 different colleges or units on campus
- You will visit as many as possible of the 10 locations in the hunt
- At each location you will take a selfie in front of whatever is being sought
- You will receive one point for every one person in the picture (one person in the picture = one point, five people in the picture = five points)
- As a team you can strategize how you want to complete the hunt
- We will open team registration on March 23rd via a Qualtrics Form (Registration closes at 5pm 3/24)
- Once you register your team, you will receive a link to a BOX file with the hunt and a file to upload your pictures – links will be distributed starting Monday, March 24th at 9am
- You have until Thursday, March 27th at Noon to submit your results – Results submitted via BOX file link
