Compete in this exciting day-long social media scavenger hunt fundraiser for the chance to win awesome prizes!

Squeaky Wheel’s biennial social media scavenger hunt is back! Named by Buffalo Spree magazine as the “Best New Fundraiser 2019,” this fun, family-friendly event sets participants on a mission to accomplish as many tasks as they can throughout the course of the afternoon. The most points at the conclusion of the event win the Grand Prize, with many additional special category prizes as well. The tasks (designed with equal parts cultural awareness, media-savvy, and silliness) encourage teams to creatively engage with their community outdoors in the open air and from the safety of their homes. This year’s Excellent Adventure is also easily adaptable to the challenging circumstances we’re all living in now. With some thoughtful adjustments, we’ve reconfigured this year’s event to prioritize safety and to allow for social distance, yet it will still remain an eminently social, superbly fun activity. Additionally, because of the measures we’ve taken to produce the opening and closing events online, we are able to open up the Excellent Adventure to anyone in the world with a smartphone and an internet connection. So be sure to tell all your friends in Denver or Dakar! Funds raised at this event will support the free and low-cost media equipment access, education programs, and art exhibitions that Squeaky Wheel offers to Western New Yorkers of all ages and backgrounds every day.Fact Sheet: Who: You and up to three others!What: Social media scavenger huntWhere: Anywhere in the world!When: Saturday, October 10, 202010:30 AM ET: Opening Event begins on Zoom: Rules, support announced, Teams/Participants finalized.11 AM ET: List of tasks unveiled: The race begins!11 AM–4 PM ET: Embark on your adventure!4 PM ET: Final deadline to submit tasks5 PM ET: Closing Event on Zoom: Team roll-call, submissions screened, prize-winners announced!Why: To enjoy a fun-filled day of adventure and raise funds to support media literacy, arts, and education in Western NYHow: Assemble your team and sign up by purchasing your tickets. Register early to receive a bonus clue!
