Want to celebrate Halloween with STEM? We invite you to go on an adventure, explore the STEM Library, and win fun prizes! This Halloween week, we have “buried” four 3D printed Testudo figurines in four frightening places throughout the library. 

Starting Monday, October 28th, players can find the four clues that lead to each Testudo on the STEM Library’s Instagram (@umdlibstem) or in-person at the library’s circulation desk on the first floor. Players will have until the end of Thursday, October 31st to take a photo of Testudo in each of his 4 hiding spots and submit the pictures to this form. The first ten players to submit their entries will receive our grand prize goody bags! All players will receive candy - just show a picture of a found Testudo at the STEM circulation desk. All UMD students, faculty, and staff are welcome to participate!

Supplies needed to play: mobile device with a camera.

Scavenger Hunt Rules:

1. On Monday, October 28th, players will find all 4 clues on the STEM Library’s Instagram (@umdlibstem) or in-person at the STEM circulation desk. 
2. Each clue will lead players to one of Testudo’s 4 hiding places in the STEM Library. Take a picture of Testudo in each location. Please do not move the Testudo from its hiding place, so other players can find him! 
3. Once players have discovered all of Testudo’s hiding places, they can upload their 4 photos to the submission form. Players have until the end of Thursday, October 31st (Halloween!) to submit their entries. We will only accept one entry per player, so be sure to capture all 4 Testudos before submitting!
4. The first 10 players to submit their entry with all 4 of Testudo’s hiding spots will win our grand prize: a goody bag filled with Halloween fun! All players can receive candy by showing a found Testudo photo to the staff at the STEM circulation desk, but are only eligible for the grand prize through the submission form. 

We will post all four clues on Monday, October 28th, so make sure to check our Instagram or visit the STEM circulation desk to begin the hunt!
