Playing the Scavenger Hunt on Campus

Playing the scavenger hunt on campus is an asynchronous experience. If the scavenger hunt is enabled upon login, each user will see the owl counter on the right side of the screen when they log in. If it is not enabled upon login, each user can activate the scavenger hunt for themselves by following the below steps:

  • Click on your name in the upper left corner of the screen
  • Select Enable Scavenger Hunt
  • The owl counter will appear on the right side of the screen. Owls will be added to the counter as the user finds them
    • The first time the scavenger hunt is enabled by the user, the instructions message will be displayed on the user’s screen. If needed, the scavenger hunt instructions can be accessed at any time by clicking on the owl counter on the right side of the screen.
  • Selecting Reset Scavenger Hunt will reset the owl count back to zero and will not display any owls the user has found.

 

Important:

If a user logs out prior to finding all the owls or enters another room that is not part of the campus scene, the owl counter will disappear from the screen, however the total number of owls the user has found will be preserved. The user will simply need to click Enable Scavenger Hunt to resume the current session.

 


When a user finds an owl and clicks on it, it will play an animation. This is only visible to the user who clicked on the owl:




When each user completes the scavenger hunt, the below image will be displayed on their screen along with your custom scavenger hunt completion message:
