VU Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt
The hunt is back! Get ready for our 6th Semi-Annual Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt, an event hosted in partnership with Chicago for Chicagoans.
This time, we’re heading to the colorful and culture-packed neighborhood of Pilsen. Join us to explore a neighborhood filled with beautiful murals, vibrant culture, Chicago history, and good food, all while we enjoy some friendly competition and fun with our VU friends!
We’re gathering a group of 40 to split into teams of 4–5. The winning team will take home a special prize — so bring your game face (and maybe your lucky charm). Teams will be announced on the day of the event.
Date: Saturday, October 25
Time: 1:00 PM – 3:30 PM
Location: Pilsen, Chicago (meeting point to be announced)
Price: $10 per person
Afterparty (optional): After the hunt, we’ll head to a local bar to celebrate a Saturday well spent.
What to Bring:
A fully charged cell phone
Comfortable walking shoes
Water and a weather-appropriate outfit
A pen or pencil for notes
Be ready for plenty of walking and outdoor fun!
