Super Bowl Scavenger Hunt

Sports Staff

Struggling to focus on the game? Here’s a fun scavenger hunt. Rack up “points” each time you encounter these glorious experiences throughout the game itself and the accompanying commercials (or the commercials and accompanying game). Turn it into a game of Bingo or something more “fun,” whatever. Play with your friends and have a good time! Be safe and don’t skip class Monday morning.

Disclaimer: Any resemblance of this activity to a drinking game is purely coincidence. Student Life does not condone underage drinking nor the consumption of alcohol on Washington University property.
