Starting tomorrow!

Posted on by

We\’re nearly set to start! Here\’s how things should unfold:

Wednesday:

9.00 a.m.: We\’ll be outside Great St Mary\’s with printed copies of the list for anyone who turns up with any kind of cape (open to interpretation!). It might be worth your while getting a paper copy!

10.00 a.m.: The list goes up online. We\’ll post it here and it\’ll go on the sidebar.

10.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m.: We\’ll be in the Union\’s Mountbatten room (there will be signs from the street), sitting tight and waiting to be brought your excellent items.

Thursday:

9.00 a.m. to 9.00 p.m.: We\’ll be in the Union\’s Mountbatten room for the second day to be wowed and delighted by your finds.

9.00 p.m.: Doors close. If you\’re in the room by 9, we\’ll judge your stuff, but not if you\’re late!

approx. 9.30 p.m. to 10.00 p.m.: Results! Depending on how long final judging takes, we\’ll publish the results on the blog, twitter etc as soon as possible and tell anyone who\’s stuck around in person. Hint hint, the bar\’s next door!

Some stuff to bear in mind:

  • Completing any whole section of the list will net a 20% bonus on that section\’s points
  • You should bring stuff as often as you can! Leaving it all until the end makes for busy busy rooms and bored judges!
  • Points on the list are the approximate maximum for that item — great attempts will get the maximum points, merely mediocre will still get some points. Going above and beyond the call of duty is likely to net you bonus points.
  • Be sure to check the Twitter feed (@cush2011)! Who knows what we\’ll post?
  • Unless you ask us not to, we\’ll probably post your exciting/entertaining photos and videos, and may photograph items and post them too. They\’ll end up on the website or Twitter.
  • We\’ll have computers with us, so please bring digital items on USB sticks if you can!
  • Any questions, email or tweet us

See you all tomorrow morning and best of luck!

Setting the Stage

Hi everyone!

We\’re getting ready for the 2011 scavenger hunt at full pace now, with plenty of items ready to be found and a lot of ideas brewing up. The rules are pretty much the same as ever: teams of up to 5, two days to gather items and get them judged, judges\’ decisions are final.

The 2011 Scavenger Hunt will be run 9am Weds 15th June to 9pm Thurs 16th June and all judging is in the Union\’s Mountbatten Room.

We\’re holding off on sending out emails to the various lists until closer to the time, but team signups are now open if you want to get in early! Email cambridgescavengers@gmail.com with your team name, team members\’ names and ideally a team photograph.

Follow us on Twitter for potentially exciting updates and/or secret items!

The Laser Raptors are running the show this year, with thanks to all the previous organisers for helping get everything set up!

Update: Emails now sent! Signups open! Get your teams signed up!

Despite all the crowds of people drinking champagne, we are still in the Union Mountbatten room – go through the crowds of people and instead of turning right into the bar, carry straight on. No-one has yet claimed the cookie point..
