The Great YYC Staycation!

Thank you @yycstaycay for the phenomenal staycation scavenger hunt! Thank you for supporting Calgary businesses! This was our first official staycation. And in this crazy world right now, you brought so much joy and happiness. It was something that we all desperately needed. 💜💕

@shes_sohigh We’re so glad you have had fun playing along & we are doing everything we can to ensure the scavenger hunt is as fun, fair and inclusive as possible. Good luck finishing the hunt and thank you so much for supporting this community initiative. The local businesses are so grateful!

@yycstaycay we ask because some of the teams in the top 10 making an end run are getting impossible point gains. We've loved the hunt and hope others are playing with the same integrity we have. Thanks! (3/3)

@shes_sohigh All teams in the top ten are small teams (3 or less) I believe at least 5 teams have completed the hunt (100%) on the app. We have audited the teams who are complete and have deducted points where required (you might have seen teams drop off from the top from this adjustment).

@shes_sohigh As for bonus points, there are 46,200 point available for successfully complete if every challenge (including correct answers first time for trivia) + daily challenge points for a total close to 50k points.

@yycstaycay how many points are given for checking in to a neighborhood? Are points given for completing a neighborhood? Completing the hunt? Closing the hunt? Are there bonus points available? (2/)

@shes_sohigh Hi there! All team members must be at the check in location for the full points at check in. It’s my understanding you receive 500 points for a successful checkin.

@yycstaycay hey folks! We have some questions about the scoring. Are teams allowed to split up? As in, one part of the team in the NW and one in the SW? We remember reading in the rules this wasn't allowed. (1/)

There are still a ton of great things happening all throughout Pride Week, so be sure to check out calgarypride.ca for the details.

@yycstaycay hi! I'm trying to explain to the seniors on my team why the hunt was extended by a week. I can't remember much except something about a national/international scavenger hunt day on 30 Aug?

Husky is helping communities where our people live and work; and we're collaborating with Heritage Park and @yycstaycay. Check out @yycstaycay to find out how you can win a $200, $100, or $50 Husky fuel card. #KeepingCommunitiesMoving #myHusky
