<p>I think I read somwhere that UIUC holds a large scavenger hunt, sort of like MIT. is this true?</p>
<p>i think I found where I heard about this - it is a called a 'puzzle hunt'.</p>

<p>I believe you’re thinking of the University of Chicago in Hyde Park.</p>
<p>I actually found the source for my impression/question and I linked to it in the OP and it does say UIUC, not UC. So I was confirming this reading from people who are going to UIUC. </p>
<p>besides confirming whether it goes on still, also seeking how popular is it, and other items of info.</p>
<p>anyone know if UIUC has a scavenger hunt , apparently aka ’ puzzlecrack’ or ‘puzzlehunt’ ? when does this happen? how does one get involved with it ?</p>

<p>Never heard of one Universitywide, although CPH-Newman Hall is running one for residents.</p>
<p>I can confirm that some of the residential halls have a scavenger hunt. Do not know of anything else, but it is very possible that there is a campus wide one run by a particular club or orientation committee.</p>
<p>The engineering department just had a rather massive scavenger hunt today as part of the iEfx Launch.</p>
<p>There is a large scavenger hunt across Champaign and Urbana coming up in September. It’s put on by a student group called GCUSFRC and it’s a really challenging hunt. All the clues are in rhymed couplets, so, like one is, “Study decade’s soil stagnation / Corn and soy for crop rotation,” and there are a lot of GPS coordinates, QR Codes, and other craziness. Should be a blast.</p>
