The Challenge Factory Scavenger Hunt LDuration: April 1 - June 3, 2024
Welcome to Challenge #50! Can you believe it? It's already our 50th edition of our quarterly hunts!
Challenge rules*:
• While you are fulfilling the requirements of your other challenges, be on the lookout for the following items - they may be on the cover or mentioned in the book. Most items are specific, but if in doubt about an item – just ask!
• You may use a book to fulfill multiple items (you do not have to read 50 books for this challenge...do not worry!)
• Books that are used must be read during the period of this challenge.
• When you find one of the items, list the Book Title and Author (or link the cover), date it, & rate it. Also specify where the item is found within the book and include a blurb from the sentence. For audiobooks try to put the chapter if possible. If not, then at least let us know you got it from an audiobook.
*Notes:
1. Some items require the word to be used as a specific part of speech (noun, verb, etc).
2. Variations of spelling are always allowed (examples: colour/color, mustached/mustachioed)
3. Creative uses of the items is highly encouraged! Example: if the hunt item is National Park, you can either find "National Park", or I'll take something like "Yellowstone", or "Yosemite" instead.

Welcome to Challenge #50! Can you believe it? It's already our 50th edition of our quarterly hunts!
Challenge rules*:
• While you are fulfilling the requirements of your other challenges, be on the lookout for the following items - they may be on the cover or mentioned in the book. Most items are specific, but if in doubt about an item – just ask!
• You may use a book to fulfill multiple items (you do not have to read 50 books for this challenge...do not worry!)
• Books that are used must be read during the period of this challenge.
• When you find one of the items, list the Book Title and Author (or link the cover), date it, & rate it. Also specify where the item is found within the book and include a blurb from the sentence. For audiobooks try to put the chapter if possible. If not, then at least let us know you got it from an audiobook.
*Notes:
1. Some items require the word to be used as a specific part of speech (noun, verb, etc).
2. Variations of spelling are always allowed (examples: colour/color, mustached/mustachioed)
3. Creative uses of the items is highly encouraged! Example: if the hunt item is National Park, you can either find "National Park", or I'll take something like "Yellowstone", or "Yosemite" instead.
