2016 Scavenger Hunt

Last Tuesday, December 6th, the Janksters had their annual downtown Scavenger Hunt! Organized by the senior members of the team, this Jankster tradition is a race against the clock and other teams to solve the puzzle first.

The team was split into seven different groups each with a leader and a packet of instructions. Starting at Notre Dame with the first hint, they made their way to different stations downtown from San Jose State University to Christmas in the Park. Each station had a different challenge for the group to complete before earning their hint to the next location and gaining more pieces for their puzzle. The games ranged from writing their own raps to assembling candy robots. During the Scavenger Hunt, there were opportunities to cut time from the final score through a Photo Scavenger Hunt which included taking selfies with a variety of object like squirrels or murals.

Once they finished the objectives at all seven stations, the groups raced back to campus to piece together their puzzle. It was an exciting competition and at the end, everyone came together for hot chocolate and snacks.
