Pandemic Years

The COVID-19 pandemic upended life and routines around the globe and prompted creative work arounds. Dedicated Scavvies looked to Zoom, Dropbox, and email to facilitate virtual scavenger hunts in 2020 and 2021. Lists from those years focused on things players could reasonably do, research, or create without breaking shelter in place orders or going against CDC guidelines. Lists remained playful with plenty of humorous salutes to pandemic life that kept time spent indoors tolerable and fun. Though road trips were not possible either year, cleverly, in 2021, Scav Olympics reappeared virtually in Minecraft. [it’s only 14 points of quarantine, right?]
