CHALLENGE STUDENTS TO EXPLORE CAMPUS WITH A FUN SMARTPHONE SCAVENGER HUNT COMPETITION
Are you trying to find an orientation week activity that will help students build friendships and create lasting memories? Campus Goose Chase is a great way to introduce any group of students to campus, and each other.
In Campus Goose Chase, students break into teams to complete fun photo challenges all around the school property.
Highlights include:
- Students love it – the scavenger hunt is a blast to complete
- Great for faculty – a fun way to bring campus leaders closer together
- Simple to set up – participants just need their smartphones to get going
- Custom for your campus – ask about including challenges specific to your school
- Live leaderboard – keeps students competitive for the whole activity
- Fits your timeline – adapt the activity to run for as long as you need it
- Any group size – great for large and small student groups
- Budget-friendly – our team is flexible, and can work within your budget
HOW IT WORKS
Students start out by breaking up into teams. Each team will need one smartphone to download the team building app from the Apple App or Google Play store.
When it’s time to start, teams sign into the activity to start completing challenges around campus. For every challenge that teams complete correctly, they will earn points to move up the live leaderboard. Whichever team earns the most points before running out of time will be declared the Campus Goose Chase champions.

Some teaser missions to give you an idea of what to expect
READ ALL ABOUT IT | 250 POINTS: Find an issue of the student newspaper and take a picture of your team reading it.
Your student newspaper is an important source of information about what is happening on your campus. This challenge can help participants learn where to locate the newspaper, and also give them a chance to take a look at what kind of content is available inside.
BOOKWORMS | 500 POINTS: Go to the campus bookstore, and take a picture of your team holding up textbooks relating to their majors.
This challenge helps accomplish two things. First, participants will learn exactly where the campus bookstore is located. Second, when participants are searching for textbooks relating to their majors, they will naturally get to know each better and start conversations based on their mutual interests.
SCHOOL SPIRIT | 1,000 POINTS: Photograph your team showing their school spirit, with someone who is wearing a branded school t-shirt or sweater.
It’s always important for students to feel a sense of school spirit and community when they start at a new school. Locating and speaking with an experienced student who is wearing a branded t-shirt or sweater helps reinforce the brand of your school, and gets students who are not involved in the scavenger hunt excited and participating as well.
