Scavenger hunt by Randall Sadler

Come join us in a group competition scavenger hunt to places on EduNation you have not even thought they existed.

 

Tasks in form of notecards

 

EduNation I, Task I

You must explore the EduNation Space Station.

Go to the holodeck at the center of the EduNation I sandbox and have ONE of your team should click on it.  Click on "Scenes" and "other" and then use the arrows to find "Space Station."

Once the teleporter rezzes, use it to go up to the Station.  While there, grab yourself a drink from the Replicator and explore the station.  

You must then write down on your Google Doc the exact location of the Station.   Also, take a photo of your group in the station and include it in your Google Doc.

After you are done, use the teleporter to go back down to the sandbox.  Type the word "clear" to derez the scene (don't want it too easy for the next group!!!) 

 

P.S.  Have a free Penguin!!!

 

After finishing this task, make your way to the EduNation I Art Galleries.  These are located just across a bridge from the Sandbox.  Look for your next task there!

If this is your sixth task, you have completed the scavenger hunt and you can return to the EduNation I sandbox for our discussion!!!

 

EduNation I Task II

This task asks you to learn more about the life and work of Mary Guggenheim.    Look around the Gallery and learn about this remarkable artist.  Your group must choose one of the paintings on display and do several things:

1.  Take a group photo with the work to include in your Google Doc.

2.  Discuss why your group chose that work.  Write your rationale in the Doc.  Also, try to include a brief description of the work, focusing on the colors and shapes depicted.

Once you have completed this task, make your way to the main teleport center on EduNation III (NOT EduNation I) and look for a poster there for the Underwater Research Pod (URP).  Use the poster to teleport there for your next task.

If this is your sixth task, you have completed the scavenger hunt and you can return to the EduNation I sandbox for our discussion!!!

 

EduNation III, Task I

Welcome to the URP!!!  The Underwater Research Pod is designed to let you explore the joys, wonders, and dangers of life under the EduNation Sea.   

You'll find Free Scuba Gear here in the URP chamber.  Grab a set of gear and try it on!!!  (please don't leave your dive bags out after you get dressed).  You can then open the hatch, climb down the URP ladder, and brave the deep!!!   

Beware the "somewhat" giant squid and find the pirate treasure in the cave of doom!  

Carefully count up your treasure, and on your Google Doc indicate how many of these precious items you see:

1.  Treasure Chests

2.  Priceless Goblets

3.  Swords to protect your treasure with.

Once you have completed this task (and pocketed a few gold coins), make your way to the Central Lagoon on EduNation III.  Find the water transport dock located on the East end of the water.  Your next task will be there.

Arrrrrrrrr

If this is your sixth task, you have completed the scavenger hunt and you can return to the EduNation I sandbox for our discussion!!!

 

EduNation III, Task II

There are a number of types of water vehicles you can use to explore the islands.  

Rez one of the Newport Sailboats (or two if needed) and explore the lagoon.  As you explore, talk to your shipmates and find out the answer to these questions:

1.  What are their hobbies?

2.  What is their favorite movie?

Put the answers to these questions for each person in your Google Doc.

After you finish, bring your ship to shore and hop off.   Use the landmark below to get to your next location.  Look for the clue at the base of one of the trees in the forest where you arrive.

If this is your sixth task, you have completed the scavenger hunt and you can return to the EduNation I sandbox for our discussion!!!

 

EduNation III, Task III

Welcome to the Chateau Renoir.

You are currently in a Alpine valley located over 2,700 meters above EduNation III.  The interior and exterior of the Chateau has hidden holodecks that can provide seating, presentation space, a Dance Club, and a sculpture exhibit (as you see now).

Find sculptures in the indoor and/or outdoor galleries that include a description.  Just left-click a sculpture to check.  You must find at least 3 sculptures from different cultures with descriptions and add their descriptions to your Google Doc.  

Each of you should also try to take a photo of your favorite sculpture to include in the Doc.

Your next task will take you into deep space.  To get there, look for a teleport sphere hidden in a hollow log near the Chateau.

If this is your sixth task, you have completed the scavenger hunt and you can return to the EduNation I sandbox for our discussion!!!

 

EduNation Task IV

Welcome to our Solar System.  We are far above EduNation I and if you step away from the sun (hot!!!) the solar system should come into view.

You'll also find here a UFO.  Feel free to take a ride, and a mysterious black monolith  (DON'T CLICK THAT YET!!!).  One of the planets you can see has a message for the people of earth.  Find the message and paste it into your Google Doc to complete this task.

Once done, click on the Monolith to go to your next task.

If this is your sixth task, you have completed the scavenger hunt and you can return to the EduNation I sandbox for our discussion!!!
