I remember our “Scavenger Hunt” during my freshman year back in the dark ages of the 1970s. Each dorm floor was split into two groups (small college, maybe 20 teams total) and given a list of things to find and questions about the college to answer.
Winning team got 1 case of beer. 2nd place got 2 cases. 3rd place got 3 cases. As I recall, our side of the floor got 2nd place, the other side got 1st place. Pooled the winnings and had a fun time.
Ah, the days when 18 year olds could drink and there were actually winners and losers!
