THE 2022 SCAVENGER HUNT IS ON.
SCAVENGER HUNT PARTICIPANTS,
YOUR TIME IS COMING SOON
IF YOU HAVE EVER ATTENDED CAMP KINDLING OR CO-OP CAMP AS A PARTICIPANT OR AS STAFF - OR WANTED TO - WE HAVE A SPECIAL SCAVENGER HUNT JUST FOR YOU. SEE BELOW.
The #LocalCoopLove scavenger hunt goes live only during Co-op Week. It's run through the GooseChase application, allows anyone with a smartphone and internet connection to participate.
People can play by themselves, with their families, with co-workers and/or a combination of people. It is free for participants to play. Players are given a series of missions/tasks that are designed for people to be able to do on their own, within their own communities.
2022 missions will be announced when the Hunt begins, October 16-22. Previous missions have combined a variety of written, photo, artistic (drawing and poetry), and action tasks to give participants a variety of challenges to complete.
New for this year: Youth Co-op Week Scavenger Hunt & Challenge – We will run this special event through social media and use hashtags to capture content. Intention is to encourage youth to engage with Co-op Week, and also act out the co-op values and principles. Plus, take the knowledge they learned at camp and use in the real world.
Here is everything you need to know to participate.
- You may sign up and play anytime between Oct. 16 and Oct. 22, 2022.
- Play solo or with a team. YOU DON'T NEED TO BE FROM SASKATCHEWAN or MANITOBA.
DOWNLOAD THE APP AND ENTER GAME CODE GDVGGE
- You do not have to live or work in Saskatchewan or Manitoba to download Goosechase or join the scavenger hunt. Play from anywhere using the GooseChase App, a smartphone and an Internet connection. (Once you have downloaded the app, enter #LocalCoopLove or game code GDVGGE to play).
- The game goes live at 12 PM SK/1 PM MB time on SUNDAY Oct. 16, and will be live until SUNDAY Oct. 23 at 12 PM SK/ 1 PM MB time.

SHARE THE LOVE
We encourage you to share the #LOCALCOOPLOVE with others. Raise the awareness of your co-op or credit union, and the other co-operatives in your community through the Scavenger Hunt.
- Here is a fun, low-stress (and safe) way to involve your municipal, provincial and federal elected officials. (Mix a little business with the pleasure!)
