The UChicago Intranet Scav Hunt Returns
Why limit the UChicago tradition of Scav to only students and alumni? For the third year in a row, the UChicago Intranet is bringing the fun of Scav to all University of Chicago staff and academics with an online scavenger hunt consisting of five easy tasks—each giving you a chance to win a raffle for a prize bundle of your choosing.
To enter, complete any (or all) of the items listed below by filling out the online form with your responses. Each completed item will earn you one raffle ticket for a chance to win one of three prize bundles. Clear instructions on how to document the completion of each item are included on the online form. Contestants may complete only one entry form per person and must have a valid UChicago email address.
