First Ever U-Con Shelter in Place Pandemic Scavenger Hunt: The Game

Posted on Posted in News

Michigan just extended the Stay at Home order until June 12th, although some restrictions have been lifted. So this Memorial Day, how would you like to play along with the rest of the U-Con Community and do a Scavenger Hunt at Home? Here is a list of scavenger hunt items that should be fun and fairly easy to find without leaving your front door (unless, like the Games Library, most of your games live in storage). Enjoy playing and please feel free to post answers over at U-Con’s Facebook Community Page (https://www.facebook.com/groups/ucongamingcommunity/?ref=share) and show us what you have. Plus, there are points so bragging rights will be awarded to people with points.
