Goosechase
Mid-Continent Public Library invites you to participate in fun, interactive mobile scavenger hunts presented throughout the year. Hunters can earn points by completing “missions” that require the use of a mobile device. Missions will challenge you to answer questions and take photos or videos as evidence the missions have been completed.
