Search the City

Have you heard about Search the City? It’s the latest craze to hit Claremore, and it’s coming Saturday, April 15!

Search the City is a funky new fundraiser for the Will Rogers Junior High. Rather than selling goods or having a bake sale or car wash, they’re bringing fundraisers into the digital age with Claremore’s first online scavenger hunt.

The fun begins at the West Bend Green. It will be a festival-type atmosphere, with live music, food trucks, vendors, and a kids zone. Several of the junior high clubs will have booths, selling things from crocheted goodies to student artwork. There will also be a silent auction. To donate an item to the auction, please CLICK HERE! 

But the biggest and best part of the day is the competitive scavenger hunt. Open to players as young as kindergarten, there are four separate divisions for each five-person team. The categories are K-5th grades, 6th – 12th grades, adult, and corporate. The 6-12 grade teams will do all of their searching on the beautiful Rogers State University campus on foot. The adults and K-5 teams will hit the streets and drive all over Claremore (adults only driving, please!).

Each team will consist of up to five players (including a driver for adult/corporate teams). The captain will download the free GooseChase app to find the clues, which will go live at the start of the search. Team members will work together to solve the clues, get to the location, and take a photo within the app to submit as evidence.

There’s also a costume contest for adult/corporate teams! The team that has the best theme or team shirt just might win a prize!

Registration is only $35 per team, and it’s open now online. (For players under 18, you must PRINT out the form and have a parent sign before playing.) On-site registration is also available on the day of the event.

Proceeds from Search the City will enable Will Rogers Junior High staff to directly purchase items for classroom, attend Professional Development conferences, and allow for field trips opportunities for students. All of the above opportunities have been drastically cut or completely eliminated with funding cuts imposed by the legislature over the last several years.

Search the City is in need of corporate sponsors. Sponsorships are available from $250 – $5,000. For information on being a sponsor, click HERE.
