JA Tri County Area Scavenger Hunt

When: Sunday, August 16, 2020

Where: Trumbull, Mahoning and Columbiana Counties

Time: 2:00-5:00 PM EST

Pile in the car and join us for this family-friendly, app-based and socially-distant scavenger hunt around Trumbull, Columbiana, and Mahoning Counties! Complete missions and answer trivia questions about our hometown, while competing against rival teams for fun prizes! All proceeds to benefit Junior Achievement of Mahoning Valley!

Registration is limited to 50 teams, so don't wait- sign up today! It’s a great way to bring corporate teams, friends and family together for an active and memorable day of fun, while helping to fund financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and work-readiness programming for area students!

Here's how it works:

Prior to the event, JAMV will e-mail you instructions on how to download the Goose Chase app and game code to create your team. At the start of the event, teams will receive a password by text to begin the chase and to access the missions. Teams will take a photograph of their completed mission and post on Goose Chase in order to earn points. Missions are worth different point values depending on distance and difficulty. Points can be deducted from your team if your submission falls short. Bonus points can also be awarded to missions accomplished in extraordinary fashion! You can keep track of how your team is doing via the activity feed and the leaderboard. The top 3 highest point scores will win cash prizes ($300 to first, $150 to second, and $75 to third place finishers) with additional prizes going to superlative teams! All winners will be announced during a Finish Line Zoom Party! A smartphone or smart device is required to play (at least one team member). Participants are asked to please obey Ohio traffic and vehicle safety laws, as well as adhere to CDC Covid-19 guidelines. Let’s stay safe and have some fun!
