About Ruthless Good: The Great Austin Scavenger Hunt
If you like doing good with a side of fun competition then Ruthless Good is for you!
Ruthless Good is not your ordinary fundraiser. Teams will work and play together to solve clues to find unique Austin locations and capture photos and answer trivia questions. With the streets of Austin as the game board, you will have two hours to complete as many activities as possible, earning points all along the way.
All ages are welcome! It’s a great opportunity for students, families, friends and work colleagues to team up and do some good for their community.

- Raise money that will change thousands of lives, right here in ATX.
- HAVE SO MUCH FUN!
COMPETITION AND PRIZES: The sooner you register, the sooner you can start earning points for your team and get a leg up on the competition! Earn points for recruiting others to join the hunt, fundraising and social sharing. On the day of the hunt, you'll earn even more points for all of the photo and trivia activities you complete. At the finish line celebration, notable teams will receive bragging rights as well as special prizes.
EVENT DAY SCHEDULE: Starting at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, April 7th, you and your team will meet at the Long Center and receive all you need to know to start the hunt. Teams will leave on foot from the Long Center at 10:00 a.m. and must return by noon. You should be prepared to walk about 2-3 miles (at your own pace) within the three hour time frame.
What is Ruthless Good?
It’s not just the tacos, the trails and the tailgates that make us love Austin, Texas. There are so many unique things about our treasured city that help it earn the stamp of home. If there’s one thing United Way for Greater Austin (UWATX) has learned in its 90+ years of calling Austin home, this is a generous town filled with the best people in the world.
Ruthless Good is a fun way to test your strategic talents and know how. UWATX wants you to discover new things about your community and how we can all do our part to make Austin a better place for all.
Ruthless Good is for all of us who want to have some competitive fun while helping UWATX improve lives by bringing people, ideas and resources together to fight poverty in our community. All funds raised stay local to help our neighbors with the most need.
