Welcome to UTA Libraries’ second virtual Scavenger Hunt! We hope you’ll have some fun (with the opportunity for prizes!) while learning a little more about our website, services, resources, and collections.

How It Works

The first clue will be listed at the end of this post at 8 AM on August 30. Once you locate the associated page, you will look for a card on the right-hand side that features the following graphic:

This will give you the next clue in the scavenger hunt! The scavenger hunt will close at midnight on Sept. 3.

There are six pages with six answers to locate in all. To be considered for our prizes (listed below), you must log the answers associated with each clue in the Scavenger Hunt form.

You can also share that you will be participating in the scavenger hunt on social media!
