October’s scavengers hunt is based on words related to Halloween/Horror, there are about 69 so you can choose how many you would like to find.

Level:
1 – 1-20 words
2 – 21-40..."

We look for these words in the books we're reading? And we can use 1 book for multiple words?

Howdy 🤠 👋

Hello Everyone! I'm Rebecca from Texas. I participated last year and really enjoyed it. I read a variety of things but my most-read genres are Mystery/Thriller and Fantasy. My favorite authors are Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, and Alexandre Dumas.

Also very excited about the mini games :)
