Details and Clues Page:

General

This page is the source for information regarding the CSU Housing and Dining Services September Treasure Hunt. It will be updated further, as more specific regarding the hunt are made available.

During the hunt team's will receive their clues either through this web page or, if they prefer, though a hard copy distribution system within H&D Services.

Below, under the heading "Clues", each of the six clues will become available at specific times during the hunt. Once each clue is published to the site the "not yet released" label will change to "Released" with a link to that clue. Your team may access and print that clue from the website or, if you prefer, a paper copy/ies of the clue will be available through other channels in the HDS.

Additionally if there are modifications to a clue, or if any team has requested a hint, there will be a note indicating that modifications have been made to the clue page in question and the date and time that the modifications were made(see sample clue below).

For each clue your team will need to either find either a piece of information on the CSU campus

Hints

While the hunt is under way your team may choose to ask for a hint or some help. That is absolutely fine and is a regular occurrence with many Rootles hunts. When each clue is uploaded there will be an accompanying form that can be filled out. That form will be delivered to a Rootles representative who will provide some assistance with the clue. Your team should understand that this response will be made through the website for anyone participating to see.

Submissions

You have two ways to submit your team's answers during the hunt. Your team may fill out this form below (the easiest for us) or in an email to john at rootles.com. Alternatively you may print and utilize this pdf to submit your answer sheet, sealed in an envelope, to Marianne Provenza at 209 Palmer Center. Please recognize that it may be difficult to track every team's submissions if you submit them daily, so please collect them and submit everything at the end.

*Remember that each of the clues requires teams to solve the clue. The solution to the clue will ask for a piece of information to be submitted for the final submission. These pieces of information require that teams collect the information (numbers, dates, quotes, etc....) from around campus or from other public sources.

If any team is having difficulty solving any clues they should feel free to ask for hints-they will be forthcoming and there have already been some requests where clue have been updated, modified or hints provided. Now that all of the clues are posted we will try to reply to requests more frequently throughout the days until Wednesday's submission deadline.*
