Featured Locations On This Scavenger Hunt

Roo Sculpture

Hop to it—the Roo is ready for its close-up! This bronze beauty isn’t just any marsupial, it’s the symbol of Roo pride and campus spirit. Whether you call it a kangaroo, kangar-legend, or Roo-perstar, striking a pose here is basically a rite of passage.

Epperson House

Behold the mansion that whispers “gothic mystery meets ivy league”—the Epperson House! With its secret tunnels, hidden barber shop, and private organ (yes, you read that right), this four‑story Tudor‑Gothic castle is less “college building” and more “spoiler: Hogwarts might actually exist.”

Volker Campus Fountain

Splish, splash, and snap—the Volker Fountain is campus’s watery show-off! With jets leaping sky-high and a pool that doubles as UMKC’s chill zone, this isn’t just a fountain—it’s a built-in mood booster. Warning: staring too long may cause daydreaming and spontaneous selfies.

James C. Olson Center for the Performing Arts

Follow the sound of practice pianos and soaring vocals to this renowned home of the arts. There is artistry echoing from every rehearsal room, and creativity fills the air.

Swinney Recreation Center

Vibrant energy pulses at this athletic epicenter where Roos come together to compete, cheer, and celebrate blue and gold pride. There is always a new record waiting to be set under these bright lights.

Miller Nichols Library

Rising above the heart of campus, this hub of scholarship offers vibrant study spaces and Roo research resources. There are stacks of secrets and academic excellence here for every Roo to discover.

Exploring RooVille with ScavengerHunt.com was such a fun date idea. The hunt led us to Epperson House and ended by the Swinney Rec Center with plenty of photo ops along the way.

It was good family fun. Great that you can pause to have lunch etc. was fairly easy but didn’t initially realise clues had time limits - hence missed out! Would definitely do another elsewhere.
