January 2011 Mini Scavenger Hunt

"Scav is a week-long event that happens twice a year. January's scav is smaller than July's but no doubt still very fun! The point of the game is to collect all the tasks on the scav list, which will require you to be creative (often making the items yourself) and inventive!"
