Looking for something to do this weekend? Join our (virtual) scavenger hunt

Join us on social media for a do-it-yourself scavenger hunt!

March 20, 2020

Can you spot a Muskoka chair somewhere? (It doesn’t have to be these ones!)

Social distancing is the thing to be doing right now — but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun.

We’ve developed a do-your-own scavenger hunt on our Facebook (@mcmasteruniversity) and Instagram (@mcmasteru) channels.

To start, we’ve provided a list with examples, and you go find what you can in your own neighbourhood, wherever you are. You DON’T have to find the locations that are in our photos (but bonus points if you know where they are).

Go ahead and tag us in photos that you post — we’ll share the best ones.

Just remember to stay about two metres away from others!
