Miles Perret Cancer Services is hosting Games Across Acadiana: Acadiana’s Ultimate Scavenger Hunt for the 4th year in a row. You can join in the excitement as Acadiana becomes the ultimate playground for players starting June 2nd through June 17th.

What is Games Across Acadiana (GAA)?

GAA is a virtual scavenger hunt that consists of ‘missions’ and activities to participate in and earn points for a chance to win prizes. If you have never participated in this interactive challenge you will need to download the free app called Goosechase from Google Play or the App Store. Register by May 19th to earn 500 points!

Each mission has a point value and can range from videoing yourself doing a silly dance to actually visiting a specific location. This year there are approximately 65 missions with many local businesses around Acadiana across multiple parishes that will be participating!

The goal of the scavenger hunt is to perform missions to accumulate 10,000 points to “earn” an entry into the Grand Prize drawing for $10,000! Theoretically, if all missions are performed (excluding bonus points or bonus entries) a team can earn up to 5 entries into the grand prize drawing. The hunt is FREE, but additional entries can also be purchased for $20 each.

Once the app is downloaded, create an account and search for “2023 Games Across Acadiana” to join the hunt. The game will be available for play on June 2nd at 8 am.

The drawing will be held on June 24th live on MPCS’ Facebook. Over 50 fabulous prizes will be awarded – including a grand prize of $10,000!
