GradFest Campus Scavenger Hunt [GradFest]

GradFest Campus Scavenger Hunt [GradFest] In-Person

Kick off Grad Fest with a week-long scavenger hunt designed to get you moving, exploring, and connecting with the hidden gems Penn has to offer! Throughout the week, graduate students are invited to team up and join a self-paced scavenger hunt with multiple stops across campus. At each stop, you'll take a picture as evidence of your visit and learn more about the resources, spaces, and partners that support Penn graduate student life. Here's how it works: 

  1. Register you and your team for the scavenger hunt below. Teams should be comprised of 2-5 members. 
  2. After registering, the instructions will be emailed out beginning Sunday, September 14, at 9 AM. You can visit the stops in any order and at anytime during Grad Fest week (September 14-20) to collect your pictures and a few surprise tokens. 
  3. Once completed, upload your team pictures to the spreadsheet linked at the bottom of your scavenger hunt instructions. 

Whether you complete the hunt in one afternoon or spread it out over the week, it's a fun way to discover campus, meet new people, and celebrate the start of a new academic year! The first 10 teams to complete the hunt will win a prize. All other teams that complete the scavenger hunt will be entered in a raffle for a chance to win an additional prize. 

Register your team HERE!
