The scavenger hunt has been suspended due to Rama’s untimely death. Please check back in a few days (or follow us on Facebook to know when we resume it). Thanks for your interest!

Packy is turning 53 in April, but the zoo is not going to celebrate his birthday this year – breaking 52 years of tradition. He is suffering from TB and so has not been shown in public. We at FOZE are tired of waiting to see him, so we decided to take matters in our hands and conduct a scavenger hunt to spot him. Help us locate him by playing the game and win exciting prizes!

There are five cardboard toys of Packy, each sporting a letter of his name, at each of five local independently-owned businesses in the Portland area who are supportive of our cause.

Packy’s all over the town!

We will provide clues to their whereabouts. Your mission is to:

1. Check facebook or our website for clues. The clues are related to the names of the businesses & their products/services.
2. Solve the clues to figure out the businesses and then take the pictures (preferably selfies!) with the toy Packys at each of the locations. You are not required to purchase anything at the businesses if you don’t want to.
3. Send the pictures to us. Email them to packy.is.53@gmail.com with your name. The photos remain your property and we will not use them without your express permission.
4. Collect your prize at Rally for Packy on April 25th at the zoo, or at Metro Council hearing the following week.

For those of you who want to play from the comfort of your home, we have an option for you too (we’d still like you to show up to collect your prize)!

1. Check facebook or our website for clues. The clues are related to the names of the businesses & their products/services.
2. Solve them to figure out the businesses that house the toy Packys.
3. Send us the names of the streets where the businesses are located. Email them to packy.is.53@gmail.com with your name.
4. You’ll be entered in a raffle to win prizes!
