Hi James,
We use Goosechase for the library scavenger hunt. The orientation manager at my engineering school began using it for orientation events last fall. Since then, several professors and I have adapted it to create a question set for the library. Most students are already familiar with the app, so there are no barriers to using and installing software on their devices. A delightful aspect is having students take photos at points of interest, which allows us to create fantastic collages for internal marketing materials.
Best,

Subject: [CODE4LIB] Software for Library Scavenger hunt
Hi All,
Is anyone using software for a Library Scavenger hunt? We've used paper printouts in the past and had students get oriented to the library by completing tasks and collecting clues.
I'm curious if anyone does an online scavenger hunt and if so, what software they use?
Thanks for reading,
James
