Love 146 Photo Scavenger Hunt

So this past Saturday I took part in a photo scavenger hunt for a fundraising event for Love 146 and its local chapter in Daegu. My team was comprised of my friends Anna, Rachel, Lene, and Olivia. We didn't go into the scavenger hunt with high hopes; there were so many teams to compete with (I think maybe 15 or 16 that made it to the end).

Before the scavenger hunt started, each participating group was given packets with the hunt list, a laminated card asking Koreans to help us with the game (in Korean), and a printed paper logo for one of the sponsors. We began at about 2PM and were told we needed to be back in Traveler's absolutely no later than 4PM or we would be disqualified.

First things first, we opened our packet and gawked at this list of 115 things to do. How, oh how, were we ever going to get through all of these? Rachel had the brilliant idea to start reading through them and pick out the easy ones we knew we could get done first. As we started to read through the extensive list, the group became anxious as other groups were passing by us getting things done, so we decided to get started.

One thing on the list was playing Rock, Scissors, Paper with as many Koreans as possible. We took that challenge too literally and probably played the game with 10 different Koreans.

Take a picture of the entire group jumping, mid-air. Check!

We ended up stopping by Buy the Book because we had to find an English newspaper and take a picture on a roof. We were a bit surprised to find they didn't have a newspaper, but we took a picture of a Newsweek magazine and hoped it would be enough. We got a great group shot on the roof.
Another thing we were able to accomplish, that I was quick enough to remember (of course), was taking a picture of washing dishes in the restaurant and standing behind the counter (with some members of staff for bonus points). My friend Elvie was ever so gracious and let us grab the shots, so we scored ourselves an extra 4 points we hadn't expected to be able to get! Yes!

Later on we had to take a picture of the entire group crammed into a phone booth. We made that happen without any issue.

I'm such a ham.

In the end, and much to our amazement, we managed to score 3rd place! I honestly have no idea how we made that happen. Maybe it was all those Rock, Scissors, Paper pictures? Haha, who knows! The 3rd place prize was a 60,000won gift certificate to a local restaurant in Daegu and a few waxing coupons. The hunt was a ton of fun, and I'm ever-so-thankful to have had such a great team with which to play. If I ever get more pictures, I'll post them as well!
