About SCS
Do you want something fun to do over the Flex Week? Do you want $700 of free food and a chance to win a $700 prize pool? Well… come to SCS.2!
Ever wondered what a scavenger hunt would look like if the whole of Sydney was the board game?
With 11 societies banding together, SCS is an amalgamation of a scavenger hunt, choose your own adventure and a race that takes you all across Sydney. Explore seen (and unseen) parts of the city as you group up in teams of 3–5 to navigate Sydney’s public transport network, earning points along the way to cement your name as a Legend of the City.
With a prize pool of around $700, another $700 budgeted on food (more than last season) and even better challenges, this is one event you cannot be missing this Flex Week!

What Will You Be Doing?
On the day you will be given a list of quests that you can complete. There are no restrictions or quests you must do: you choose your own adventure that will give you the most points by the end of the day to become a Legend of the City.
- Main Quests
- This season there are 3 main quest locations where you will go and complete various challenges, and additional points are awarded for completing all three. The event is built around these 3 main quests, so consider doing them highly…
- Side Quests
- Scattered all over Sydney, from a bland photo on Bland Street to taking a nice, lovely, swim in your clothes. These quests are built for you to complete whilst traveling between Main Quest locations. Various points awarded depending on skill, luck, or pure braveness.
- Bonus Quests
- Dropped randomly throughout the day with no warning. Some might require you to do some game theory and gamble at the SCS.2 Casino™…
