Welcome to FCL’s month-long Window to the World Scavenger Hunt! Utilizing the app GooseChase, participants complete missions in their own backyard and around Freeport for a chance to win an L. L. Bean kayak, paddle, and life jacket. The Scavenger Hunt will run 5/1/21 – 5/31/21. This event is free and open to Freeport Community Library card holders and Freeport residents. The Window to the World Scavenger Hunt game code (which helps one find the specific game within the app) is “M4KGP6” and the password to participate is “FCL” (all uppercase, no quotation marks in the game code or password). A big thank you to L.L. Bean for making this possible.

 

Eligibility

Freeport Community Library patrons and Freeport citizens are eligible to participate if they have access to a smart phone or tablet that can run the GooseChase app. GooseChase is available on Apple’s App Store and on Google Play Store.

 

Basic Game Rules

This four-week program runs Saturday, May 1 – Monday, May 31.

Participants must have access to a smart phone or tablet that can run the GooseChase app and has photo capabilities.

Teams complete missions by posting photos of their completed tasks, and in doing so are awarded points.

Teams must earn at least 50 points to be entered in to the prize drawing. The prize does not go the quickest team, or the highest score, so have fun! Program missions are designed in a way that participants lacking access to a vehicle may still qualify for the prize drawing. All participants who have earned at least 50 points will be put into a drawing and a winner will be chosen randomly.

A person may not contribute to more than one team’s tasks.

 

Teams

Teams can be made up of family units or friends but know that the kayak and paddle prize will be awarded to one team unit.

Teams work best with 2-5 participants but can be made up of any constellation of participants.

Participants can join the game by following these simple steps:

1. Download the GooseChase iOS or Android app.

2. Choose to play as a guest or register for a personal account with a username and password of your choice.

3. Search for and select the FCL's Window to the World Scavenger Hunt game, or search by game code M4KGP6. The game password is FCL [.]
