The quad is awake: students cross brick paths, maples lean in to offer shade, and a cool fountain sends up a steady pulse as your team opens the app. This self-guided scavenger hunt turns Indiana State University's compact campus into a 9-stop puzzle course — part geocache, part escape room — moving you across roughly 1.4 miles of sidewalks, greens and plazas.
Founded in 1865 as a normal school, ISU wears its history plainly in masonry, library facades and commemorative plaques; the route threads past the Dede Fountain, Cunningham Memorial Library and the Landini Center, introducing campus stories as you solve each riddle. The terrain is flat Midwestern campus ground: paved walkways, short stair sections and pedestrian plazas framed by mature trees and seasonal flower beds. Expect birdsong, curious squirrels, and the occasional student hurriedly late for class.
Practical guidance: download The Great Game app at Myers Technology Center, create a team (1–8 players) and begin — the game is mobile-first and generally takes about 60 minutes. Wear comfortable shoes for repeated short sprints between clues, bring a charged phone and a small power bank, and plan for lunch or coffee afterwards in nearby Terre Haute. Because the course is self-paced, it works for solo players, families with strollers, and groups of varying abilities.
Timing matters: start when campus buildings are open if you want interior views, or early evening for softer light at the fountain. Keep respect for campus rules, follow marked paths, and pack out any trash — the game is as much about curiosity as it is about being a considerate visitor.
This is a self-guided experience — you download The Great Game app, form a team, and start from Myers Technology Center without an in-person host.
Teams can be 1–8 players; groups larger than eight should split into multiple teams and play simultaneously.
Yes — the course uses paved paths and plazas; strollers and service animals are allowed, though some short stairs may be present near certain landmarks.
