A statewide scavenger hunt kicks off in Minnesota today. Called Checkpoint MN, the event includes 12 checkpoint signs placed around the state.

Live from today (December 11, 2014) to March 5, 2015, the scavenger hunt is a do-it-yourself adventure to see “12 iconic places” around the state of Minnesota. Full rules and information are at CheckpointMN.com.

Produced by Monopoint Media, parent company of GearJunkie.com, Checkpoint MN was developed in partnership with the State of Minnesota’s Explore Minnesota Tourism arm. Its goal is to encourage exploration of the state in winter.
