Northern Star Scavenger Hunt Clue #2

By Northern Star Staff

The Northern Star Scavenger Hunt is here once more;

You can’t buy these prizes at a bookstore.

Sox tickets, lawn chairs and gift cards,

These are just a few of the rewards. 

Find the medallion to win it all;

It won’t be in the river, off-campus, a building or in a hall.


Scavenger hunt clues will be published on NorthernStar.info beginning today until Friday unless the medallion is found prior to that date.

 Read the daily clues to search for the Northern Star medallion hidden on public land on the NIU campus.

The medallion will not be hidden:

– On public grounds

– In water

– Under any skating surface

– On a golf course

– On any artificial turf surface

 – At any construction site

If you find the medallion, return it to the Northern Star in the Campus Life Building, Suite 130, to collect your prizes.

If the Northern Star Scavenger Hunt medallion is not found by 11:59 p.m. Sunday, the Northern Star reserves the right to terminate the hunt.

The Northern Star reserves the right to discontinue the hunt at any time if public property is destroyed.
