CLUE: How To Play

(Note: This is a text-based version of the How To Play guide. We also offer a graphic version.)

Step 1: Choose a Task

Go to the scavenger hunt page to view the map and choose a task. They can be completed in any order.

Helpful hint: The first section of tasks is required. Other tasks in themed groups (for example, Academics Archipelago) are optional tasks, but you'll need to complete at least 5 of them to be entered in the prize drawing. 

Step 2: Complete the Task

Click the icon and a Google Form will open, with the task description and a spot to enter its code word.  Complete the task to gain the code word. 

Step 3: Earn Points

Enter the code word on the form and submit it. You'll get 15 points per required task and 5 points per optional task.

Step 4: Try, Try Again!

Got it wrong on the first try? That's okay! Try again! You can repeat each task any number of times in order to get the right answer.  (You'll receive the points for the task only once--15 per required task and 5 per optional task.)

Step 5: Reach Your Goal

Visit the text-based scavenger hunt page to choose your first task. Complete it, then return to the scavenger hunt for your next task. You'll need to complete all 6 of the required tasks and at least 6 of the optional tasks (at least 1 per task group) to be entered to win.
