Get ready to put your ducktective skills to work with the UIS campus-wide duck hunt! From Monday, October 27, at 8:00 AM through Friday, October 31, at 3:00 PM, the hunt is on—unless all the ducks are rescued sooner. Winners will be announced after 3:00 PM on Halloween (because what is spookier than a duck with a QR code?).
How to play
Look for rubber ducks hidden outdoors around campus; each duck has a QR code and a number or symbol attached to its neck.
Scan the QR code and enter your name and email on the event spreadsheet to log your find.
Each recorded duck equals one entry in the prize drawing. A duck with a star symbol is an instant winner.
Keep your duck to verify your prize at pickup.
Why you should join
It’s a fun way to get outdoors, stretch your legs, and explore campus during Walktober.
Prizes increase the thrill, and every duck you find raises your chances to win great prizes like a gift card or UIS swag.
You get to keep the ducks you rescue.
Team up with friends for a faster hunt and shared laughs. The Quack Pack, anyone???
Share your finds
Snap a photo of your duck and post on Instagram with #UISFeelingDucky so we can follow your adventure. We would love to see what these ducks get up to!
Tag the event and tell a short tale of your duck’s daring escape (or lazy nap spot).
