Be sure to read and comply with the rules throughout the hunt!
- Safety first! Don’t do anything that might cause harm or danger to you or anyone else. Wear a mask in public places that request them.
- For photo and video tasks, make sure the Instagram profile you use is set to “public.” You can create a new account for the hunt if you don’t want to make your personal account public.
- Be kind–to yourself, your teammate, and everyone you encounter during the hunt.
- Don’t spend money! You should be able to accomplish all tasks without spending a penny.
- Be creative! If you have a unique interpretation of a task, go for it.
- Be adventurous! We want you to explore the campus as much as you are able and/or stretch your creative limits.
- Feel free to modify a task to meet your accessibility needs! If you have any accessibility concerns or questions, please email us at wlrc@uic.edu.
- Have fun! We want you to enjoy the experience!
