Q: What can I expect from the Scavenger Hunt?
A: The Scavenger Hunt begins at Welcome to the Farm in downtown St. Pete. Street parking will be limited, so ride share or find a nearby parking garage. Arrive anytime between 11:30am-12pm to check in, pick up your bag of materials from our staff, and get ready to start right at noon.
You’ll use the Eventzee app on your cell phone to complete challenges on event day. It works on both Android and Apple devices. All ‘day of’ challenges will appear there on the day of the hunt. We’ll create an account for you and provide your login details. Just make sure your phone is fully charged!
There will be a mix of photo and video missions, trivia questions, location check-ins, and fun team tasks that help you explore DTSP while supporting CASA’s mission. Some examples from previous years include:
Q: How can I fundraise if I’m unable to attend the event in person?
A: You can still be part of the fun by creating a fundraising page and sharing it with your network. Click “Register” and select “Just Fundraising” when prompted to purchase a ticket. Every dollar you raise helps support survivors, whether or not you can join us on event day. Spread the word on social media, at work, with friends and family, or anywhere you connect with others.
Q: Is the $35 fee per team or per individual?
A: The $35 registration fee is per person. Every player must purchase a ticket to participate, even if you’re buying for someone else. Stay on the look out for early bird discount codes.
Q: How many players can be on a team?
A: Teams can have between 2-10 players! Gather your friends, coworkers, or family and join together.
Q: What should we wear? Are costumes required or optional?
A: Costumes are optional but encouraged! Come dressed in something comfortable for walking around downtown, but feel free to get creative for extra fun. Prizes are awarded for best team costume.
Q: What are the top three prize categories teams can compete for?
A: Top prizes will be awarded for: top fundraising team, highest total points, and best team costume.
Q: Is the entire scavenger hunt route walkable, or can we use other modes of transportation?
A: The scavenger hunt is designed to be walkable around Downtown St. Pete, but some stops may be spread out over a few miles. Many teams choose to walk the whole time, while others use bikes, scooters, golf carts, buses, or cars to get around more quickly and cover more ground. The choice is yours—just make sure to stay safe and follow all traffic rules!
Q: Does everyone on my team need to log in? Or can we use one phone?
A: That’s completely up to you. Your team will have one login created by CASA and email to you the week of the event. You can all share one phone, or each log in on your own devices using the username and password given to you by CASA staff.
Q: How many challenges are there? Will I be able to do all of them?
A: There will be A LOT of stops to explore, offering plenty of fun and variety. You probably won’t be able to complete them all. Just try to tackle as many as you can during the three-hour span of the hunt. Some stops might be farther away or more challenging but can earn you extra points.
Q: What area will the scavenger hunt be in?
A: The Scavenger Hunt will encompass downtown St. Pete. There will be clues from Beach Drive to the Grand Central District and everything in between.
