Scavenger Hunt

The Scavenger Hunt exercise was based on internet search. All the questions were based on internet online information. It was fun activity and I was surprised about see how much personal information you can find in seconds without moving going anywhere. Some of the question were easy and some required time and deep digging. We divide the questions into our group. If one our group member struggle on a we will help them to find the answer. Some of questions like find the Married name of Andrew Fry's middle sister was quite challenging and rquired lots of search at the we answer all the questions. It was surprising that we came second and win $5 gift card. It was good activity for group work.
