- To explore the cultural diversity of Davis by finding things from other places (countries). Something more tangible than just ["Demographics"].	+ The purpose of the game is to explore the diversity of Davis;cultural, physical and otherwise, by finding things from other places (countries). Something more tangible than say the ["Demographics"] of Davis. It's a variation on the Scavenger Hunt concept with a reliance on digital cameras, maps and critical thinking about why something you see should be categorized a certain way. + + '''The Goal''' + To learn about and teach each other about ourselves, our landscape, cultures and co-habitation on this wonderful town we call home. + Hopefully all the information will get posted to the ["davis wiki"] or ["Geography Graduate Group"] website and will help others to discover something about town they didn't know.
