Play Procedures

Internet Links

You can search for an answer using an Internet link by clicking on the magnifying glass next to the link. This will open a new browser window in which you can search for the answers to the questions on the Scavenger Hunt List. Be sure to close the browser window after you have found the answer.

Answering Questions

To answer a question, type the correct answer in the text box provided. Although the game ignores capitalization and spacing, you must spell your answer correctly. When you are ready to check your answers, click Check answers.

• For each correct answer, you will receive a green check mark.
• For each incorrect answer, you will receive a red "X".

In this example, the player has answered two questions correctly and four questions incorrectly.

Scavenger Hunt List

The author of this activity may have chosen to limit the number of attempts you have to win the game.  Each time you check your answers you use an attempt.  The number of gold stars displayed beneath the Scavenger Hunt List indicates the number of attempts you have left.  If you run out of attempts before answering the questions correctly, your game will end and you will receive a message saying, "Sorry, try again!"  You can then click Start over.

If you have an unlimited number of attempts you may keep playing until you answer all of the questions correctly, or click I give up! Show me the answers.

Using the I give up! Show me the answers Button

You may include the special characters in your answer by clicking on the character buttons when entering your answer.
