## What is MSU Denver Roadrunner Connect?

Roadrunner Connect brings the MSU Denver campus experience to life. Discover events, find food trucks, check in to locations, earn rewards, and connect with your campus community, all in one app.

Find Food Trucks on Campus
See which trucks are on campus today, browse the schedule by day, and search by name. Filter by allergy and dietary needs to see only the trucks that can safely serve you. Favorite the ones you like so they are easy to find next time, spot them on the map, and check in when you visit. Trucks appear on the map only on the days they are actually scheduled, so what you see is what is there.

Discover Events and Landmarks
Browse campus events through our interactive map interface. From sporting events to art shows, cultural festivals to academic workshops, find everything happening at MSU Denver. Find campus landmarks on the map, navigate campus, and see what is around you in real time.

Check In and Share Your Experience
Check in at events, buildings, food trucks, and campus locations to showcase your participation. Snap photos and add comments to record what you did and where you were.

Earn Feather Rewards
Active participation pays off. Earn feathers, our in-app currency, for every check-in, photo upload, and comment. Complete your profile for a one-time bonus. Climb the leaderboard, compete in contests, and unlock prizes sponsored by MSU Denver and event organizers.

Explore with Scavenger Hunts
Take campus exploration further with scavenger hunts. Join hunts created by student organizations and campus departments, follow clues and hints to discover hidden items across campus, and earn feathers for every discovery. Complete an entire hunt for bonus rewards, and be the first to finish for an extra prize. Help keep hunts accurate by reporting missing items and earn feathers for your contributions.

Compete for Prizes
Join leaderboard contests to compete for top rankings during specific time frames, with exclusive prizes for top participants. Or enter giveaway contests where each check-in earns you entries for random prize drawings. Every check-in counts.

Unlock Badges and Achievements
Celebrate your milestones with unique badges. Attend specific events, check in at particular locations, and reach personal goals to showcase your campus journey.

Roadrunner Connect automatically syncs with MSU Denver's event calendars. Filter activities by location, time, and category to find exactly what interests you. Never miss an opportunity to engage with campus life.
