Knowledge

The Campus Scavenger Hunt is a toggleable feature available to Private Campus and Event Campus customers. When activated, all users that access the campus will be able to participate in a virtual scavenger hunt. The goal of this scavenger hunt is to locate all the owls hidden throughout campus.

This is how the Virbela Owls look! so keep an eye out for them

To activate the scavenger hunt on your Private Campus or Event Campus, please reach out to your respective Account Manager or your Event Advisor. Once activated, users can choose to enable and disable the scavenger hunt from the GoTo Menu. Users can also reset the scavenger hunt.

Note: If a user has a scavenger hunt in progress, then disables it, then re-enables it, the scavenger hunt remains in progress. As an example, let's say a user found 7 owls.  Even if the user disables and then re-enables the scavenger hunt, Virbela will still report that the user has found 7 owls. However, if the user selects the reset button, Virbela will indicate the user has not found any owls.
