University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The University of Chicago Scavenger Hunt (or Scav Hunt, colloquially Scav) is an annual four-day team-based scavenger hunt held at the University of Chicago from Thursday to Sunday of a week in May, typically ending on Mother's Day. The list of items, usually over 300 items long, encompasses cryptograms, competitions, build challenges, a 3 course meal, and a 1,000-mile (1,600 km) road trip. "Scav Hunt" is well known for its quirky, strange, and impossible items.[1] Scav held the Guinness World Record for largest scavenger hunt from 2011 to 2014.[2]
