"Know Algoma" Scavenger Hunt (Updated)

9/25/2020

0 Comments

 

September 25, 2020

Picture
Those of us at the library LOVE a good scavenger hunt. However, since it's beautiful outside, we want to mix it up.

We challenge YOU to explore Algoma! On the morning of September 25th, we will release a survey on our website with very specific questions about locations around our lovely town of Algoma. We will also have physical copies at the library for those that don't have the internet. The challenge is that you need to go to those locations to find the answers.

Participants that complete the survey before midnight on the 27th will be able to pick up a participation prize on the following Monday.

​(Instead of digital scavenger hunt, date has been extended to allow for bad weather.)

So much of our daily lives has been pushed to digital formats; working from home, learning from home, Storytime online, live-streams, Zoom meetings, emails, and texts. We are surrounded by screens so much that, time and again, we need to get away... But, what happens when our screens won't let us?

Try our digital escape room "Download Complete" to see if you can solve the puzzles, find all the clues, and get out before you are one with the computer... FOREVER. Age Recommendations: high school and beyond, or a family of mixed ages. This escape room is contained within Google Forms. That means, you shouldn't need the assistance of Google or other search engines to find the answers. Every answer should be contained within the Form.

​ Keep an eye out for the event and link: this escape room is currently under-construction.
