The results are in! After a very very close finish that was eventually settled by some fantastic and very entertaining superlative entries, we have the results!

The Winners:

Robyn Will Kick You In The Face! Well done! They had perhaps the best stories from Newnham, with a special commendation for their fantastic costumes and delicious bribery brownies. They also supplied us with morning whiskey! It kept us going all day 🙂

Second Place:

Lion Hunters! Sheer efficiency, a huge quantity of items, they were here almost the entire time presenting stuff, acting out, doing some fantastic singing and completed the most sections.

Third Place:

F.B.M.! No signup email, they turned up briefly Wednesday morning to collect the list and we thought that was all we\’d see of them… until Thursday afternoon, where they turned up with a punt full of 500 points worth of items! They had a huge quantity of items, a lot of quality of items and a lot of naked man! Seriously special commendation for bringing everything on a punt in one massive hit.

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!

Scavenger Hunt is back.

CUSH 2009 is happening WEDNESDAY 10TH to THURSDAY 11TH JUNE.

The List is back with a vengeance.

Interested?

Drop us an email with your team name, your team\’s names (no more than five members) and your team photo.

You know you want to.

PS – this year, it\’s brought to you by Boom Squad – our thanks to Chris, Martin, Abi and Irene for all their help – past, present and (most probably) future!

This year\’s Scavenger Hunt will begin at 9am, Tuesday 12th June and end at 9pm, Wednesday 13th June.

If you are interested, then take a look at the history page and the previous years\’ lists. This year expect to have to perform a few more unusual activites than before, as well as a wider variety of creative tasks and even some cryptic clues.

If you\’d like to take part then get together a group of friends and email us. We\’re inviting teams of up to five people to take part. We\’d love it if you could come up with a team name, a short description of yourselves and if possible a group photograph.
