Perform any charitable tasks on this list to earn points. The number of points required to complete the scavenger hunt is equal to your registered team size. Some tasks can be done more than once. See individual descriptions for details and limits.

Come to the donation drop-off room in West Lounge to complete the scavenger hunt and verify your charitable tasks! What will you get in return? The warm feeling of having done something good!

Donation drop-off at West Lounge in the Stratton Student Center is open from 1pm to 9pm on Friday, and 8am to 9pm on Saturday. Remote-only teams may substitute equivalent local donations and email a summary with confirmation/photos to hello@gr8ergoodgames.com. Make sure to complete your scavenger hunt before 9pm Saturday!
