How does it work?

Explore.

Get around campus and see what leadership programs U-M has to offer. The goal is to explore, find as many programs as you can, get some free swag and enjoy the experience. It’s not a race!

Play.

Find and collect codes hidden around campus (and even on this website!) associated with leadership programs around U-M. Each code can be scanned or entered by every player — it doesn’t matter who finds it first.

Share.

Get your friends to join! Track what position you’re at compared to others and discuss all the leadership programs you’ve learned about throughout the game. Collect more codes to earn points for more rewards.
