4. Cut them out and place them around your class / school.
1. Give each group a clipboard and a piece of paper so they can write down the decoded questions and their answers to them.
2. Explain to the students that the codes are hidden around the school. Each team will get ONE point for each question they correctly decode and copy down onto their sheet, and a further TWO points if they can then provide the correct answer and write this down underneath the question.
3. Away they go! The winner is the first team to return with the most correct answers in the time available. This could be within a lesson, or during a lunchbreak, or even over several days!
4. A detailed case study in how to set up a successful QR Scavenger Hunt using this tool can be found here.

| 1. The society is organized in matrilineal groups called ma’chong, which means motherhood (Marak 1997:75). Marak explains the importance and meaning behind the ma’chong as, “Every ma’chong has a common ancestress which gives a sense of attachment and a feeling of oneness to the members of a particular ma’chong,” (1997:75). | 2. Women own all of the money and land, but their husbands are the ones who have the right to use it (Harbison 1989:1001). If a person is unmarried, he or she doesn’t have access or ownership to anything. | 3. A woman will pass all of her property and wealth onto one daughter called the nokna (Harbison 1989:1001).
