Ah, memories. For those of you reading this that aren’t familiar with the event, every year FTS hosts a large scale Scavenger Hunt in Baltimore, MD. It lasts all day, the list consists of over 400 items and actions, and it is a total blast. It’s a really stressful event to put on but I couldn’t be more passionate about it. Every year I think “this is the last one. I can’t do all of this again.” But someone playing reminds me how much fun it was for them and what a unique experience it truly is. With luck, we will be putting on another hunt later this year. I’ve been looking back over lists and photos from the past three years and came up with a list of tweets from participating teams that were too good not to share.
Every year we include “Make a twitter account and update it for the duration of the hunt.” Here’s a fun sample of some of those tweets:
Catfood is scrumptious. The aliens in district 9 knew what they were doing. Just ask rebbert.
