City Challenge is the annual scavenger hunt that is a must do for all ECS Freshers! Explore the city 🗺️ while trying to complete as many challenges as possible for a chance to win big prizes 🎁. Starting outside the iconic Zepler and finishing in the city centre, you will compete in teams of 5, supported by a volunteer student. They will guide you during the event, so make sure to ask them questions if you get stuck. Meet new friends, have fun, and find out where you will spend most of your time in uni. Don't worry if you don't know anyone beforehand - all you have to do is turn up on the day and we will assign you to a team. You'll be walking all day, so wear sturdy shoes if you have some - other than that, you only need yourself 😎. There will be plenty of opportunities to buy lunch, or feel free to bring some along 🍲. The final destination will be in the city, where you'll submit your scores. At the latest, you and your team must be done by 17:00, but you'll probably finish earlier. Good luck!
