Event FAQs

How will The Hunt work?

Participants will register as a team of 1-4 members for this photo-based scavenger hunt. The week of the event, teams can download Goosechase, a phone app that will provide a list of all challenges along with point totals. Teams will have three hours to complete as many challenges as possible. A photo uploaded to the app will serve as completion of each challenge. The team with the largest point total, combined with their fundraising challenges, will be crown our champion. Prizes will be awarded for first, second and third places.

How many members can I have on my team?

You can have up to four members per team. You can also go solo if you wish.

I don't have a full team of 4; can I still participate?

Team registration fees will be the same for each team and will cover entry for 4 people. However, you may compete with less participants if you choose. We’re also happy to pair you up with other non-complete teams if the opportunity is available. Just shoot us an email.

Where will it take place?

The Hunt will kick off at Ludo’s Shuffleboard Bar at 325 E. 31st Street in Kansas City. Teams are encouraged to complete their challenges in and around downtown and throughout Midtown. The Hunt will culminate back at Ludo’s Shuffleboard Bar for a super fun post-party.
