Scavenger Hunt

From the unofficial Duke TIP Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Basically you get a list of things to find, with points, and you have to go and find them around campus. Whoever gets the most points wins.

Note: Sporks seem to be on every list... that, or Matthew likes them a lot. (Bags of Sand, Too) They have been at Davidson II 2005, East I & II 2004, and East II 2005. Do also note that scavenger hunt judges, for the most part, don't accept or appreciate sporks that have been made out of plastic spoons by snipping triangles out of the end.
