| Warm-up Items | |||
| 001 | (Image) Warm-up: One of the readings at this year’s Letters Live encouraged listeners to practice “any art”. One of their suggestions? “Make a face in your own mashed potatoes.” We think that sounds like a pretty good way to practice art. Let’s see it. | 5 | |
| 002 | (Image) Warm-up: Find 6 things in nature that are a different shade of the same color and arrange them up from lightest to darkest. This item can be a collage. | 5 | |
| 003 | (Video – up to 10 seconds). Warm-up: When I was in college my friends and I talked about starting a production company called Cuter in the Dark Productions because movies are better in the dark. Clearly that idea never took off, but I still think the name has potential. Show us something that is cuter, prettier, or cooler once the lights go off. | 5 | |
| 004 | (Image) Warm-up: Create a jumbo version of something small… or a mini version of something big! – Submitted by Katie | 6 | |
| 005 | (Image) Warm-up: Choose your superhero pose. Now have someone trace your shadow. Return a few hours later and trace your shadow again in the same pose so there is a small and large version of the same hero-character, as if one is leading or teaching the other. | 6 | |
| 006 | (Image) Warm-up: Create a good luck charm for the hunt. Using known rune(s) or your own invention(s), craft an object that will bring you creativity, luck, perseverance, or whatever it is you need most to get through the hunt | 7 | |
| 007 | (Image) Warm-up: There are soooo many Pokรฉmonโฆ but one is definitely missing. Draw, paint, or model (from clay, Play-doh, or other similar substance) a new Pokรฉmon inspired by something in your home. And don’t forget to give it a name. Letโs see an image of your work of art alongside the thing that inspired it. – Submitted by Patrycja | 7 | |
| 008 | (Image or Video – up to 10 seconds) Warm-up: Many yoga moves are named for the animals that inspire them – cat, cow, eagle, butterfly, and giraffe to name a few. Invent a new yoga pose inspired by your favorite animal. | 7 | |
| 009 | (Image or video – up to 10 seconds) Warm-up: Using science (not tricks!) make an egg become transparent. | 8 | |

| Main List | |||
| 016 | (Image) Using light as your medium, โpaintโ a starfish suspended in water. | 30 | |
| 017 | (Image) Go Rouge. Color outside the lines. | 32 | |
| 018 | (Image) Those who live in nursing homes or elderly care facilities are often left to celebrate important milestones on their own. Host an un-birthday party for the residents that celebrates everyone. This party should include games, snacks, music, and you, the March Hare. If it happens to be someone’s actual birthday be sure to shower them in confetti. | 48 | Altruist |
| 019 | (Image) Get an article about you/your team participating in Rogue in the (local) newspaper. Your article must include at least 2 words from the Merriam-Webster Word of the Year list from 2023 | 66 | |
| 020 | (Image) It’s really not fair that the Kentucky Derby has the monopoly on cool headwear. Craft a hat that would wow derby goers and make even the maddest of hatters jealous. Model your hat while cheering on a rugby, wrestling, American football, or boxing match. – Inspired by Jessica | 100 | |
| 021 | (Video up to 1 minute) Last year we made a modern song medieval. This year take a very old song (pre- 1800s) and turn it modern | 45 | |

| 023 | (Image) Movies and TV made it seem like boards with things connected by red strings would play a much larger role in my adult life, but alas! No one ever actually uses them to make a point. Make your own “Conspiracy Theory Vision Board” connecting two or more things that absolutely should not be connected. Red string required. | 29 | |
| 024 | (Image) The “Willy’s Chocolate Experience” in Glasgow, Scotland was a major disappointment to all who attended because the event was entirely planned by AI. It included an interactive experience with a new villain character named “The Unknown”, who lived in the walls of Wonka’s factory. The event proved AI should not be left to do the work of creatives. Strap on your thinking hat and defeat “The Unknown”, proving that human creativity will always triumph in the face of soulless AI. | 37 | |
| 025 | (Image) It’s been 76 years since George Orwell released 1984 and sometimes it feels like Big Brother is doing more than just “watching”. Whether it’s Project 2025 in the United States, denial of civilian deaths by Vladimir Putin, or the use of AI to monitor citizens in China, themes of Orwell’s dystopia are apparent in the modern world. Design an updated version of the book cover for 2024 highlighting a current issue or topic that feels Orwellian. | 44 | |
| 026 | (Image). 0110 01 00 10 1 / 01 / 11 01 0110 / 111 0010 / 1011 111 001 010 / 1010 111 001 10 1 010 1011 / 001 000 00 10 110 / 111 10 0100 1011 / 111 10 0 / 0010 111 111 100 / 00 1 0 11 / 1011 111 001 010 / 1010 111 001 10 1 010 1011 / 00 000 / 0010 01 11 111 001 000 / 0010 111 010 / 01 000 / 1 0000 0 / 0110 01 00 10 1 | 58 | |
| 027 | (Video – up to 20 seconds) Last year the Rube Goldberg Institute challenged students around the world to build a machine that built a lunchable by stacking the crackers, cheese, and meat. But the Cracker Stacker Lunchable is too easy for Rogues and we’re hungry after all this scavenger hunting. Build a Rube Goldberg machine that helps assemble and/or serve a full-sized sandwich worthy of fierce competitors. Be sure to take a bite. | 77 | |
| 028 | (Image) Rogue Hunters are always lifting spirits! Let’s see a ghost or phantom climb, soar, fly, ride, rappel, float, or jump to at least 150m above the ground. The specifics of how you get there and how long you stay there are up to you – as long as there’s not solid ground beneath your feet at the moment the photo is taken. | 111 | |
| 029 | (Image) We’ve all heard about wolves in sheepโs clothing. Show us a sheep in wolfโs clothing. | 27 | |
| 030 | (Image) Friendship bracelets are increasing in popularity and one cancer charity is looking for donated accessories. Follow the directions at https://kitstoheart.org/pages/friendship-bracelets to make and send 3 friendship bracelets. It is up to you if this is completed by one person or split up between members of your team. If done by multiple team members, this item submission can be a collage. At least one of your bracelets should be crafted as an “alpha bracelet” and include a word or image of encouragement. | 36 | Altruist |
| 031 | (Image) Bunkers. Shelters. Vaults. From doomsday preppers to billionaires, from Hunger Games to Fallout, theyโre everywhere! But we donโt think you need to be rich or facing a global disaster in order to have a safe and happy place. Show us your cozy den, person cave, blanket fort, etc. No Spam or dried beans required! – Submitted by Kristin | 20 | |
| 032 | (Image) Gordon Ramsay is known for his expertise in the culinary world. However, in 2017, he came out pretty strongly against chocolate-covered bacon saying, “I’ve never seen anything so f***ing unappetizing as a dessert in all my life.” This leads us to wonder is it the chocolate itself? The visual? The taste combination? Create a new bacon and chocolate dessert – one that does NOT look “like we’ve had a crisis with the toilet paper department”. It may include as many/few ingredients as you like, but must include both bacon (vegan bacon is fine) and chocolate. Post it on social media and tag Gordon Ramsay. Use the hashtag #RogueHunt and #RogueDessert | 21 | |
| 033 | (Video – up to 15 seconds) Berto, our favorite sign language interpreter, co-hosts a 40 for 40 race each September to raise funds for charity.

| 035 | (Image) Mรฉret Oppenheim helped define the surrealist period with her furry cup and spoon (okay, okay, it was called “Object”, but “furry cup and spoon” is a much more helpful description). Using fur or hair, craft another dish or utensil that could accompany this famous piece. | 61 | |
| 036 | (Video – up to 15 seconds) All aboard! You and all your teammates are on your way to Monster U – a place for creatures like yourselves to learn to become Scarers. Show us each member of your team, as monsters, climbing aboard a bus, train, or other form of public transportation as it sets off for adventure, education, and most likely mischief. | 75 | |
| 037 | (Video – up to 15 seconds) We’re feeling nostalgic for the computer games of the 1980s and 1990s. Recreate Minesweeper, Tetris, or The Snake Game in an Excel Spreadsheet. | 109 | |
| 038 | (Image) The phrase “sleeping with the fishes” was popularized by The Godfather novel and movie and is now synonymous with crime, murder, and the mafia… which is a shame because sleeping with the fishes sounds like it could be a genuinely good time. So let’s change that. Set up your ideal underwater bedroom – blanket and pillow included – and take a nap with your favorite fish. | 93 | |
| 039 | (Image) Purchase one or more items off the Starfish Foundation’s Tutoring Wish List to help ensure their classroom is ready for the second half of the school year | 20 | Altruist |

Use the Hashtags #RogueHunt and #StarfishChangesLives Submit a screenshot of your post. Link to the post in either the submission (if PDF) or item description when uploading (image) | 24 | |
| 041 | (Image) Make Kevin Bacon out of bacon. Because we’re feeling nice you can also use eggs, avocado, and toast, but the primary ingredient in your art should be bacon. | 32 | |
| 042 | (Video – up to 15 seconds). Heads, you win. Tails, you … also win. Craft a realistic coin out of a radish, carrot, or apple. Show it off then successfully flip it into your friendโs mouth. | 30 | |
| 043 | (Video – up to 15 seconds) There’s nothing worse then when all the craft supplies get mixed together – pom poms with the beads? Beads with the buttons? The horror! Design and build a machine that can correctly sort your craft supplies into separate piles, jars, or bins and then show it in action. | 41 | |
| 044 | (Image) Design a tattoo for this quote: “Normality is a paved road – itโs comfortable to walk there, but no flowers grow there.” Bonus points if you or someone you know gets it tattooed on their body. | 55 | |
| 045 | (Image – Collaboration) “She recognized that that is how friendships begin: one person reveals a moment of strangeness, and the other person decides just to listen and not exploit it.” Meet up (in person or virtual) with a new friend from another Rogue team and have them share a “strange” fact or story about themselves. Depict that story or fact in the medium of your choice and submit your art. | 62 | |
| 046 | (Image). Slice and bake cookies allow the baker to add intricate customized designs to every cookie. We think it’s a shame that this creativity has yet to be applied to our other favorite baked and sliced product: Bread. Create a loaf of bread that features an image of Eugene, our fairy-goblin mascot on every slice. | 77 | |
| 047 | (Image) Host a canned food drive, then design and build a piece of art constructed entirely from the (donated) unopened, non-perishable canned goods. Capture a photo of your completed can-struction and then (sorry!) dismantle your creation and donate the canned goods to a local food bank.

| 049 | (Video – up to 15 seconds) Two large pieces of construction equipment playing tic-tac-toe | 112 | |
| 050 | (Image) If this were spy film, this would be the part where you have to reflect a beam of sunlight onto the mysterious eye above the door using a series of mirrors. And by beam of sunlight we mean a laser pointer. | 34 | |
| 051 | (Video – up to 30 seconds) In the words of RuPaul “You have 15 minutes to get into quick drag…Go.” Timelapse your getting ready and then take time to strike a pose. | 48 | |

| 058 | (Video – up to 15 seconds). Did you ever dream of running away to join the circus? You never know when you might need a fall back option, so it’s time to work on your marketable skills.

| 059 | (Video – up to 15 seconds) Caving or spelunking is the recreational exploration of caves, however not all Rogues have a nearby cave to explore. Instead go potholing!

| 060 | (Image) Edwina the Emu was outraged when the man with the hat ordered “nice runny eggs on the side” of his breakfast in her presence.

| 067 | (Video – up to 15 seconds. Stop Motion.) The Barkley Marathon is a 100+ mile off-trail race through the Tennessee woods and is a truly one-of-a-kind experience: New racers must submit a license plate as part of their entrance fee, the race has no official start time and begins whenever the race director lights a cigarette, and when a runner drops out of the race, a bugler plays “Taps” upon their return to the start/end point. Only 20 people have ever successfully completed the race and Jasmin Paris became the first female finisher in 2024.

Using body-safe paint, turn yourself or another human into a realistic animal and have them pose in their natural habitat. | 62 | |
| 073 | (Image) You’re so smart. Time to prove it. | 79 | |
| 074 | (Video – up to 15 seconds) Technology really is just a new name for magic ๐ช And anyone partaking in time travel would probably be accused of witchcraft. Show us a medieval peasant being introduced to a modern-realized โmagicalโ invention and their reaction. | 40 | |

| 098 | (Image) Samuel’s Sweet Shop in Rhinebeck, NY is probably most well-known for being co-owned by Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Paul Rudd, but what it should be most well-known for is it’s candy toilet and plunger – because who doesn’t want to clean a toilet and then eat the plunger?

They do this through advocacy, training, fundraising, and relationship-building. Create a fundraising page for your team at https://givebutter.com/5gbI03/ (Click Join A Team on the main page, put in your contact details, and then select “Create Your Own Team). Get at least 5 donations. We are not asking you / your teammates to donate, but rather encourage you to use your social capital to garner contributions from friends, family, and strangers. Submit a screenshot (or collage) of your donation page that showcases the total amount raised and the individual donations. Bonus points given to the team(s) with the most donors. Donations made prior to the start of the hunt cannot be counted towards the total. || OUT for Sustainability is one of the few organizations explicitly dedicated to engaging LGBTQ+ communities in environmental justice and climate resilience. These funds will go towards their operational budget, enabling them to continue developing, implementing, and expanding programs like cultural competence and best practices workshops and publications for disaster professionals, sponsoring queer delegations from frontline regions to attend important LGBTQ+ and climate conventions, and providing fiscal sponsorship to grassroots organizations working towards the holistic resilience and preparedness of their communities.
