Win over $1,000 in prizes and apply for up to $80K more at the Weiss Tech House!

The Innovation Week Treasure Hunt is a creative, trivia-based adventure designed to promote the resources available at Weiss Tech House. It encourages the Penn community to attend Innovation Week events, and to inform Penn students about the history of innovation at Penn with the incentive of $1,000 in prizes.


Participants must register on www.penniweek.com, on Locust Walk, or at the Kick-off to participate. The Treasure Hunt consists of daily and event questions. Teams can access the daily questions by logging on to the website, and event questions can only be accessed by those who attend the respective events. Students can win prizes by registering, answering the daily questions, attending events, and answering specific questions about the events. At the end, a Weiss Tech House survey will be posted for teams to complete.
All participants who register and attend the Kick-Off Monday will be entered in a raffle to win a Weiss Tech House Gift Basket.

Also, all participants who correctly answer the day’s daily questions will be entered in a raffle to win Daily Prizes.

Note that participants can enter Innovation Week until Wednesday, November 9th, and be entered for the daily prizes (where they have answered the questions correctly) as well as the grand prize.

Registration is now closed.

The Treasure Hunt is a point based system (56 points total) with points awarded by:
1. Attending Treasure Hunt Kick-off (2 points)

3. Answering daily questions online (2 per day, 16 points total)

Participants can earn points in a variety of ways: by attending events, by answering daily questions online, by answering specific questions about the events they attended, and by completing a survey.

Students will (if they haven’t already) register on www.penniweek.com to participate in the Treasure Hunt. Upon registering, each student will be entered in a randomized raffle where 10 Weiss Tech House Gift Baskets will be given out.

The first set of daily questions will be posted for students to answer by 12am (midnight) Monday; after that, the questions will be taken down. Students can log in at www.penniweek.com to submit their answers. Each day, all participants who correctly answer the daily questions will be entered in a raffle to win the Daily Prizes.

The first event students can attend will be “Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?” on Monday, November 5th from 6:00-7:30pm at the Weiss Tech House. Only students who attend will be able to answer the event-specific questions, which will be posted online shortly after the event.
