Scavenge Rowlett

Rowlett Strong, Inc. is the grass-roots organization that organized the Rebuild Rowlett 5K, which has raised over $50,000 for tornado relief since the 12-26-15 storm that devastated Rowlett and other cities in North Texas.Proceeds from this event go to help us conduct our Second Annual First Response Appreciation Gala. This gala raised funds to provide small grants to police officers and fire fighters from the many departments that responded to the Christmas Tornado on 12-26-15. We want to be able to help them in their times of need, just like they helped us in ours.

<H2>Mobile App-Based Scavenger Hunt Benefits Rowlett Tornado Victims </H2>
<H3>PRIZES WORTH HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS</H3>
Registration includes Custom-Designed T-Shirt, Lanyard with Nametag and SwagBag 
Scavenge Rowlett is an urban scavenger hunt. To play, you will pay a small entry fee (goes to that city’s relief fund) and download the Eventzee App on your Android or iPhone. On the day of the hunt, you will come to our Mission HQ (FUMC in Rowlett) and present your ticket. We will then let you use your app to scan our special QR<IMG SRC="https://cdn.evbuc.com/eventlogos/171310880/spologohoriz2clowres.jpg"> code which will allow you to log into our game. Then you will see clues that will lead you to a person, place or thing. Once found, you will shoot photographic evidence of having done so, sometimes needing to strike a specified pose, and upload to the app’s photostream.
HINT: Creativity might get you a few extra points, so use your imagination in creating your photographic evidence.

A judge will decide if the “mission” was completed satisfactorily and, if so, award the appropriate number of points to the player that uploaded the photo. Meanwhile, you, the player, are moving to the next mission.
If the mission is a “sponsored’ mission, meaning a local business paid to sponsor it (after expenses, theirsponsorship money goes to the tornado relief fund for the city as well), the player gets extra points for the mission. You will know which missions are sponsored and which are not when choosing your missions. Sponsored missions will involve the product, service, website or physical location of the sponsor, thus providing return on investment to the sponsoring business.

There will be a wide range of missions, from simple to very difficult, and a corresponding range of point values for these missions. The three players with the most points after the game has concluded will be our first, second and third place winners and will receive some great prizes donated by our sponsors.
The missions must be completed without the use of vehicles. You will be walking, riding a bike, skateboard or other non-motorized form of transportation. You'll get exercise and probably learn some things about your city you didn't previously know.
After the game ends, we’re going to have a great big after-party and award the prizes. This is gonna be fun!

FAQs
 
How to I purchase a sponsored ticket 
You must enter the amount yourself in order to purchase a sponsored ticket. Please enter an amount equal to $25 (convenience and card processing fees will be added to the order) per sponsored ticket you would like to purchase. Your purchase of this ticket supports those directly affected by the 12/26/15 tornado. With your purchase, those registered with Rebuild Rowlett case management can get a free ticket to participate in Scavenge Rowlett thanks to your generosity.
 
Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?
No, there are no age limits or ID requirements. 
 
Are we allowed to drive from mission to mission?
No. For safety reasons, you must walk or use other non-motorized methods of transportation. Our hunt area is small enough that a sufficient number of missions can be accomplished on foot in the time alloted.
 
Can my whole family play on one ticket?
Yes. However, only one t-shirt per ticket holder and only ticket holders qualify for prizes. Extra t-shirts are available for purchase at checkout. 
 
Can we enter as teams?
No. In fact, there is no real advantage to playing as a "team," other than the "two or more heads are better than one" advantage (which may or may NOT actually be an advantage), which you can get by just playing together. As many players can work together as desired. In order to get a t-shirt and qualify for winning a prize, each player must register. For players not registered but wanting a t-shirt, extra ones can be purchased at checkout. 
 
Why is the ticket price weird?
Ticket prices include a convenience fee charged by Eventbrite, the event management system we use. Because we are doing this event as a charitable fundraiser, we have elected to pass the convenience fee on to ticket purchasers. Hope you don't mind! 
 
What are my parking options at the event?
There is ample parking at First Rowlett and in Herfuth Park near our hunt's Headquarters. 
 
Where is the hunt area?
Our hunt will be conducted in the area bounded by Lakeview Parkway on the north, the Bush Turnpike southbound service road on the east, and Rowlett Road on the west. Area will encompass most of Herfurth Park and end just south of Larry Street on the west side. Maps will be available. 
 
What can/can't I bring to the event?
First, what you MUST have--a smartphone. Since the game is played with a mobile app, each player will need an Android or iPhone mobile device with available data. Additionally we recommend bringing a water bottle to keep yourself hydrated. You might want to have some cash with you as some of the missions might be easier if you make a purchase, although you can play the entire game without having to spend an extra dime. 
 
Where can I contact the organizer with any questions?
Use the contact form <A TARGET="_blank" HREF="http://www.scavengentx.com" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">on our event website</A> to contact the organizers of the event. 
 
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?
We can scan your ticket from your smartphone, but a printed ticket always moves things along a little more quickly. 
 
What is the refund policy?
As the event is for charity, we cannot issue refunds. If you are unable to make it on event day, you may transfer your ticket to someone else. If it looks like rain, bring an umbrella because the hunt goes on. 
 
When and where is the after-party?
Our after-party will be at Nick's Sports Grill located at 3536 Lakeview Pkwy. For adults, there will be a happy hour and for everyone there will be a 25% discount on all menu items. Food and atmosphere is great. Party starts at 6 or whenever people arrive. Prizes will be awarded at the after-party at 7pm.
