Join us for Ann Arbor's Virtual Scavenger Hunt for Cancer Support. All of the event proceeds support the Cancer Support Community of Greater Ann Arbor's free programs for people impacted by cancer.

The Cancer Support Community’s 13th Annual Amazing Race presented by Pfizer, St. Joseph Mercy Health System, University of Michigan Rogel Cancer Center, and William Rob Juergens will be held virtually on Saturday, June 5, 2021, at 4 pm.

The event will require a combination of brainpower, imagination, and a healthy dose of silliness. Teams can be composed of people from various locations, and all ages are welcome. You will work together to solve puzzles and complete activities, all while competing with the other participants in real-time!

How do I join the game on the day of the race?

At or before 4 pm on Saturday, June 5th, each player should join the game on GooseChase. To join the game, players need to open the app and select play as a guest, and input the access code that will be sent to you the week of the event. CSC will create your teams within GooseChase. Once the player has joined the game, they will need to select their team name to start the game. The first mission will drop at 4:15 pm. 

How to earn points in the game? 

To complete a mission, select it from the list and follow the instructions to receive the allotted points. Sometimes you'll be submitting a photo or video, while other times, you'll be solving a puzzle or riddle. 

How do I see how the competition is doing? 

The ability to see everything as it happens is one of the best parts of the Virtual Amazing Race. Whenever someone completes a mission, it's added to the activity feed, and the rankings are automatically updated. If you're as competitive as we are, you'll realize how awesome this is! At any given moment, you will know precisely how you're ranking and what needs to be done to win.

What if I need help with the technology?
