What is Scavenger Hunt?

Scavenger Hunt is a fun, educational game inside SchoolSpace where everyone searches for hidden items scattered around the world. These items typically contain things like facts or lessons and often help you answer the final challenge question. Once you’ve found all the items, you’ll answer a challenge question based on what you’ve learned. Answer correctly and you’ll unlock a new emote!

Playing Scavenger Hunt

Everyone can play Scavenger Hunt. Explore hidden items placed throughout the world and answer the final challenge question to earn a reward. You'll also earn badges as you play Scavenger Hunt!

 

To Play Scavenger Hunt:

1. Walk around the world and look for items. You can explore on your own or find a buddy and search together. 
   
   
2. Items are clickable and your cursor will change to a pointer finger when you hover over a clickable object. Select a clickable object in the world. If the object is a Scavenger Hunt item, you'll see a message at the top congratulating you for finding a item. You might find something to read, watch, or even an interactive activity!
   
   
3. Check your progress at the top of each item to see how many items you've found and how many items remain.
   
   
4. After you've found all the items, select the key asset and try answering the Challenge Question!
   
   
5. If you answer correctly you'll receive a new emote! Select your avatar, expand the Expressions menu, and see what you've unlocked. If you answer incorrectly you can try again or go back and review the items to see if you missed anything important.
