Networking Scavenger Hunt

Meet other educators and explore all Downtown Sioux Falls has to offer during this networking event!

Game day is Sunday, July 31, 2016, and check in is at 6:00pm.

Be prepared for a competitive hunt from 6:30 to 8:00pm.

Players will receive paper copies of the List of Clues and a map for reference during orientation at 6:00pm. The List of Clues will include the clue number, the clue itself, and its point value. Phones can be used for research.

Each team will need at least one smartphone with a data plan so they can post their team’s photos to Instagram, Facebook or Twitter for scoring. If you don’t have a social media account, you can text the photo for submission. Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter photos used for the scavenger hunt need to be public (viewable by everyone).

This is a car-free photo scavenger hunt. That means getting around with transit and any human-powered form of transportation (i.e. no cars, car-shares, carpools, taxis, bikes, etc.) unless medically necessary.
