Item 14 has been updated to provide a warning against using an online search engine to look up the term.

Undue Fundraiser (Item 112)
We know some of you have been in contact with Undue. They’ve asked that all questions come through us if possible so we’re not overwhelming their one person in charge of campaigns. Some hopefully helpful info:
- Patience. It takes a full business day for donations to appear on your homepage and for your fundraising total to change.
- You’ll only be able to see your five (maybe 10?) most recent donors. Undue can pull the number of donors by team and will send them directly to us (Rogue Admin) for point awarding purposes after the hunt ends. They’ll also do this mid-week and we will provide an update.
With this info, we have edited item 112 slightly to have you submit a screenshot of your donor page with the total amount raised and most recent donors. Your job hasn’t changed, you’ll just have less ability to see your progress and last minute donors won’t appear before you hit submit. We promise they’ll still count in your totals. For your own peace of mind, encourage your donors to donate early and let you know once they’ve made a donation.
Saturday, August 1, 10am EDT – Sunday August 9, 10am EDT
The Rogue Hunt is back for our fourth annual Rogue Hunt! This team-based challenge is one part scavenger hunt, one part art project, and one part the most intense team building activity you’ve ever done. Tasks will include puzzle solving, baking, dancing, building, crafting, connecting with your community, and screaming into the void.
Those who donate a scholarship will be granted access to the view the list at the same time as Rogue Hunt participants as a thank you for your donation.
Hunt Details
Where: Tasks can be completed from anywhere. Participants can connect with their teammates virtually.
Cost: $20. Limited Scholarships are available.
Why: To share our love of weird art, to create friendly competition, and to put some additional goodness into the world.

Teams:
Teams will be made up of 4-6 people. At registration you will be asked to indicate your team type:
- Will your team be competitive and aim to win the overall prize?
- Will you focus on the social good items and acts of kindness?
- Will your team be chill and plan to do a few items? or…
- Will your team just hang out and donate and may or may not do items?
If you do not have a team at registration, you can register individually and we’ll place you with others who are looking for a similar style of play.
The Hunt
At 10am Eastern Time on August 1, a list will be made available with various items/tasks. Each task will have a corresponding point value if completed. With your team, select which tasks you want to tackle and then submit images, videos, and PDFs (as directed by the item). To submit an item, you’ll upload it to a Google Drive. To get an idea of what might be a task, you can look at previous hunt lists here.
Prizes
There’s more than one way to win!
- Overall Winner: Awarded to the team that earns the most points.
- Altruist Prize: Awarded to the team that does the most ‘good’ (fundraising, acts of kindness, etc.)
- Item Specific Prize(s): These will be identified when the list drops. Awarded to the individual(s) who best completes (a) specific item(s).
- Judges’ Choice Prize – The judges will award an additional prize at their own discretion to an individual or team that they feel deserves recognition
Registration Fee and Our Non-Profit Partner: The Starfish Foundation
30% of your Rogue Hunt registration fee goes to The Starfish Foundation – this is a nonprofit that provides scholarship, tutoring, and leadership development to youth living in extreme poverty in Guayaquil, Ecuador. The Starfish Foundation distributes scholarships in the form of all books, uniforms and materials required by the school. You can learn more about their work at https://www.thestarfishchange.org/.
That does not mean that Starfish is the only benefactor of the Rogue Hunt. During every hunt, there have been and will continue to be multiple organizations / nonprofits who can benefit from tasks (monetarily or otherwise). The nonprofit benefited by our Spread Goodness Like Glitter item changes from hunt to hunt and will be announced during the hunt.
