Virtual Scavenger Hunt

Updated January 14

Join our Virtual Scavenger Hunt the week of February 15-22!

Sign up your team now. Teams should consist of 3 ladies.  Get your friends together now and make plans to join us for a week of fun! Or just send in your info and we will create your team for you.

Sign up on the form below or by emailing Womensministries@morningside.org.

Send in your team name and a list of the team members by Wednesday, February 10.  Please include an email address for each member of your team. 

Teams of 3 will compete to accomplish a list of challenges throughout the week.  Each challenge has a point value.  The harder the task, the higher the point value. Proof of each challenge is submitted virtually through a photo.

 For example, one challenge might be:  A picture of a 2010 penny =  500 pts.

These wouldn’t count as 2010 pennies, of course…

Only one picture per team needs to be submitted. You would want to collaborate with your team members to see who can fulfill each request.

You’ll get a list of challenges on Day 1 and additional emails throughout the week, adding new challenges and eliminating others.

The "Hunt" will last an entire week so that there is plenty of time to complete as many tasks as possible.

WILL THERE BE PRIZES?

Yes!  There are prizes!! The first place team members will each receive a gift card.  Prizes may also be awarded to the second and third place teams. This depends on how many teams we have enter the Hunt.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO??

Now that you know what it’s all about, grab a couple of friends and sign up!!  If you don't want to create your own team, just send in your name and we will match you up.

PS:  If we have less than 15 people sign up - we will make it an individual event instead of a team event.
