Library staff edition - Interactive Induction: Beat the UL Challenge BeginnersNew
Do you have what it takes to beat the UL? Assemble a team to take on the challenge!
A self-led Library induction with a difference! Solve a series of puzzles which will lead you all over the UL, while teaching yourself to navigate the building and our physical collections. It's the most fun you'll ever have on a library induction!
Teams of up to 6 players can participate - if you want to play with your colleagues you'll need to make sure you all sign up to the same session.
Let's make it interesting! Let our staff know on the day if you would like to be timed for a chance to top our Beat the UL staff leaderboard! A little friendly competition can't hurt...
