Prospector Day

For prospector Day, the YA librarian designed a library wide scavenger hunt. Each team got a map and a list of clues to help them find the tools they needed to become a prospector and win the game. To solve the clues the teams had to use the card-catalog, the  internet, and their wits. In addition to this randomly throughout the game they would receive extra challenges that might require them to fork over a precious item, or suffer a mutant bear attack, or illness. Some of the items they found they could actually wear, which resulted in the library being full of what looked like Tolkien's dwarfs in most cases.
