So ... you think you know Worcester, do you?

Sure, lots of people say they know the city, but how many corners of it are you really familiar with? In order to discover who best knows the city, we propose a game: A Selfie Scavenger Hunt!



The Rules:



1.) Take a selfie of yourself at each of the following locations, events or with the designated food item or beverage.

2.) Email the selfie to submissions@telegram.com. Please be sure to use the word "Selfie" in the subject, and to tell us your name and which scavenger hunt item is pictured. Also, if at all possible, please send the photo during the event or as soon as possible afterward, so we know you were really there!

3.) Please always use the same email address, so we know it's you.

4.) Each item can only be used once, and each counts for 10 points.

5.) Exact dates for all events aren't currently available. Check online for exact times and dates.

5.) The contest ends on Nov. 15. The person with the most points wins! What do they win? They win the bragging rights to say they know Worcester better than anyone! That counts for something, doesn't it?

Before you go: Please remember to not be rude or disruptive at any of these events or locations, and to follow any house guidelines about behavior or photography. That's just good manners!

Is this a comprehensive list? Oh, goodness gracious, no. We could have made this list three times as long and not run out of things to discover. But this seems as good a place to start as any, doesn't it?

One last thing: You're not a tourist here. This is your city. Stick around, get involved. See what there is to discover. You never know — you may find something or someplace you really love.
