Treasure HUNT

Your Instagram holds the key to the treasure!

Guidelines
Amity School of Applied Sciences, ASASL, Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow Campus
is pleased to invite students to compete in Treasure Hunt ‘Your Instagram holds the key to
the treasure’

Treasure hunt, the idea of hunting for hidden treasures has always been exciting and
adventurous. In treasure hunt, participants work in small teams to find the treasure with the
help of given clues. The team who decodes the clue and finds the treasure first will win the
game. The game of treasure hunt comes from the concept of scavenger hunting where
participants have to find number of items from the list provided to them. Treasure hunt
differentiates itself from scavenger hunting by providing given clues to find the treasure. In
this digital era, treasure hunt games are organized online with the use of websites and social
media handles. The first Internet scavenger hunt was organized by Rick Gates in 1992. Since
Amity School of Applied Sciences is organizing this event, therefore the clues will be given
based on general science and the event will be conducted online on the digital platform
Instagram.
