Geoguessr - UBC Edition
For this challenge, you will play a round of Geoguesser where you have to guess where on UBC campus you are. Then using the first letter of each location, spell out a UBC related word. Just complete the crossword puzzle below or on UBC Recreations’ instagram story to get the name of the map on geoguessr! Once you have the map name, create a free geoguessr account and search the map name to get started finding your way around the UBC campus virtually!
When you’re finished, submit the UBC related word to @ubcrec on instagram with the challenge name “Geoguessr - UBC Edition!”
Outdoor Picture BINGO
In this week’s second “Be Adventurous!” challenge, you will be scouring the land near you to get BINGO! Go explore by yourself, or with a safe bubble of friends, and try to find and take pictures of as many of these things in nature as you can. To get BINGO, you need 3 pictures in a row! Make a copy of this google doc, and add your photos onto it.
Once you get BINGO, DM your BINGO card with your photos on it to @ubcrec on instagram with the challenge “Outdoor Picture BINGO” for a chance to be featured on our page! Best of luck, and go “Be Adventurous”!
