Scavenger Hunt

Project Overview

Scavenger Hunt is an interactive, game-based website designed to familiarize new students with the MSA University campus while promoting social interaction. The project splits newcomers into groups, referred to as “families,” with teaching assistants serving as family leaders. This engaging approach helps students explore the campus, build connections, and integrate into the university community.

The primary goal of the Scavenger Hunt project is to create a fun and educational experience for new students at MSA University. By participating in a series of scavenger hunt challenges, students get to know the campus, its facilities, and each other, fostering a sense of community and belonging from the outset.
