BRONZEVILLE HERITAGE HUNT

Games have always been an important part of our social lives, but now with the advent
of social media and mobile devices, they are more useful as a social tool than ever. Our
IPRO recognizes this, and believes that traditional games like the ones we grew up with
have the potential to not only engage a community, but advance it in ways we had never
before thought possible. Our team has thus taken two games that a lot of people have
tried, crossword puzzles and scavenger hunts, and put them together in order to help .. mm
people better understand the Bronzeville area, helping llT students better understand 'r'filllgfifa'ir’
the community we should be closer to, and help promote the area’s major cultural and
historical heritage as the Black Metropolis.

 

 

While we began the semester knowing little about the area, research, interviews, and the
help ofour instructors, Jim McKay and Jodi Houlihan, we learned so much more about
the character and background of Bronzeville than any of us were aware of, and the sur-
veys we conducted showed even many fourth—year students, who had been here a while,
were unaware ofthe rich background of the neighborhood that’s right in our campus’
backyard. We thus developed our game, the’BronzeviIle Heritage Hunt; as a means of
getting people to not only explore Bronzeville, but learn about its history, and exactly
what the neighborhood has to offer, in a curated fashion so it doesn’t just feel like you’re
wandering around. Each month, there will be a new puzzle right here in Tech News, with
new locales to check out, and new experiences for you to have. Give it a shot, and
remember: the first team (or person!) to make it through and turn it into a Tech News
representative will get their picture displayed with the next puzzle!

Rules of"The Bronzeville Heritage Hunt”

 

1.) You start with a clue that will bring you to a certain location in Bronzeville.

2.) Once you travel to that location, you then scan the QR Code found next to the clue in the newspaper. This QR Code will give you an image that you must find at the
site. Take note that the image will have a blackened out word.

3.) Once you find what the image is displaying at the site, you look for that blackened out word. That's the answer for the puzzle!

4.) Be the first person of each month to finish the entire puzzle to get your picture displayed in Tech News!

5.) Don’t be afraid to use Google — but if you don't have to, that’s an accomplishment all by itself!
