Reunion Scavenger Hunts
Welcome! These exciting (and FREE!) adventures on your phone are designed to challenge your problem-solving skills and will put your Grinnell knowledge to the test.
The Great Grinnell Scavenger Hunt and the Squirrels-in-Action Scavenger Hunt invite you to assemble a team of three or more of your fellow alumni or family members and compete against other teams to see who can complete the scavenger hunt first and unlock the Great Squirrel Badge! You will have to solve riddles, decipher clues, and explore the campus to find all the hidden secrets.
