Remember we all need to keep moving every day for optimal health, even if it’s just for 30 minutes.
Moving doesn’t need to be hard, there are creative ways to move in your day-to-day life! We don’t even think about what we’re doing when we’re absorbed in something enjoyable, so to help you keep moving between classes and have some fun, we’re holding an exciting treasure hunt on each campus this month – so get detecting and you could share in our fantastic prize pool valued at $1149!

By 9am on each Wednesday morning for three weeks (2, 9 and 16 April) we’ll be posting a new riddle for each campus on this blog (check your campus riddle in the drop-down menu below) and the Deakin Life Instagram. Solving this riddle will lead you to discover the location of a treasure box hidden somewhere on your campus.
Once you follow the clues and spot the treasure box in its secret location, look inside the box to discover the code word inside.
