Here’s something fun for junior and senior high school students in the Texarkana area from A&M-Texarkana.
University Press Release:
The Texas A&M University-Texarkana Office of Admissions will be holding a city-wide scavenger hunt for local high school juniors and seniors from March 8th through March 13th .
Using the GooseChase app, teams of 1-2 students (juniors and/or seniors) from local high schools will receive 2 clues per day about 2 top-secret locations in Texarkana. Between the hours of 4:00 p.m.– 6p.m. each week day (1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. Saturday) teams must solve the clues to find the secret locations and then must complete a task at each site.
Teams who arrive at the checkpoints each day and complete the tasks the best will win points. On March 13th, the team with the most points will win The Eagle Hunt first-place prize.
Each student in the top 3 teams will win the following:
1st Prize: $400 Visa gift card + $500 scholarship to A&M-Texarkana
2nd Place: $200 Visa gift card
