Who: All students, faculty, and current graduate students
are invited to participate in a campus wide treasure hunt during the week
of homecoming.
What: This Rootles® hunt is an exploration
of the campus surroundings. It will find 50 teams of five participants
working together to decipher clues, which lead to locations on campus,
where teams gather information necessary to view and solve subsequent
clues. Clues may involve visual cues, ciphers, math problems, and a host
of other brain teasers. For a taste of what these clues are like, check
out a SAMPLE CLUE
and its solution from an earlier campus hunt.
Where: During the four days of the hunt teams may be
required to visit any corner of the main CSU campus. This is defined,
for the purpose of this hunt, as the area bounded by the following streets:
College, Laurel, Shields, and Lake.
When: The first clue will be available when you sign
up your team from 11-2 on Tuesday October 3rd at the opening Homecoming/Family
Weekend Kick-off Cook-out, on the WCNR Lawn. Team signup and first clues
will also be available after the Cook-out at the ASAP office on the bottom
level of The Lory Student Center. Subsequent clues will be posted to the
Rootles® web site at specific times between Tuesday 10/3
and Thursday 10/5. Further information is posted on the CSU RULES
PAGE, of the Rootles® web site.
Why: To celebrate CSU's Homecoming and Family Weekend,
to explore parts of campus you might have never even noticed, and to have
a great time together trying to solve the puzzles and clues during the
hunt.
