Goose Chase Q&A
Q: Do I need to register my kids as members of my Goose Chase team?
Kids ages 8 and older should be registered as a team member. Kids younger than 8 are more than welcome to join your team for the fun, but are not required to register.
Q: How will the scavenger hunt work?
Using the "Goose Chase" mobile app on a team member's phone, participants will complete missions throughout the Preserve. Examples include snapping a group selfie at a particular feature or completing an activity offered by one of several partner organizations. To participate, you just need one working smart phone with the Goose Chase app downloaded.
Q: How will the scavenger hunt be scored?
All registered teams will receive an email prior to the event with detailed instructions on how the scavenger hunt will work and how it will be scored.
Q: Is the Goose Chase scavenger hunt ADA accessible?
No, unfortunately the Goose Chase route is not ADA accessible as teams will be required to hike over exposed roots on natural surface trails.
Q: What should my team wear?
Along with a good pair of hiking boots or trail shoes, you're encouraged to coordinate a fun team costume. Even better if it matches a clever team name or features wildlife themes!
