Scientific paper

We tried a scavenger hunt as an outreach tool to inspire 10-13 aged pupils for astronomical issues. The game was inherited from the "Geocaching" activities which employ GPS or other mobile devices to hide and seek repositories anywhere in the world. We altered the rules such that the itinerary was based on astronomical instructions, and the repositories contained related items. The realization was successful, however, some difficulties arose in the specification required from the young students.
