The game involves participants finding 27 locations, marked on a high-quality scavenger hunt map, spread across the town. Participants have the whole of summer 2021 to search for these locations, which feature prominent scavenger hunt markers. Some of the locations are within the town and others are in the surrounding countryside. The aim of the scavenger hunt is, among other things, to get people to appreciate and experience how precious and beautiful the local environment is here in Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur. The scavenger hunt maps are available free of charge from many locations, including Fjar\u00f0arkaup, the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Library, Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Town Hall, swimming pools and petrol stations. The game runs until 20 September.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.fjardarfrettir.is\/frettir\/rosa-fekk-fyrsta-kortid\">See the news about the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Rat Game on the Fjar\u00f0arfr\u00e9ttir website.&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>This year's theme is the eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula.<\/h4>\n<p>The theme of this year's geocache should come as no surprise: it is the eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula, and lava and lava formations. Participants are led to numerous lava fields and given information about them, including their age and name. H\u00f6nnunarh\u00fasi\u00f0 ehf. is publishing the game in collaboration with the City of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, and it is Gu\u00f0ni G\u00edslason who is laying out the course. \u00d3mar Sm\u00e1ri \u00c1rmannsson, an archaeologist and tour guide, compiled the various points of interest found on the scavenger hunt map. \u00d3mar has provided invaluable assistance with the game's creation over the past few years. He runs the information website Ferlir.is, which contains a vast amount of information on the natural history and human settlement of the Reykjanes Peninsula and beyond.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4>A perfect game for the whole family \u2013 you don't have to visit all the places.&nbsp;<\/h4>\n<p>The game is an ideal way for individuals and family members of all ages to socialise and have fun, while also being a fantastic way to learn more about the rich history, unspoilt and diverse nature, and wildlife that Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur has to offer. It is not a requirement to visit all the locations on the map, although in recent years the experience has been that most people who submit solutions have visited all 27 locations. The game is divided into three categories: Lightfoot, Hiking Hero and Challenge King. Those who submit 9 solutions can receive the honorary title of Lightfoot of the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Scavenger Hunt, and those who submit 18 solutions can receive the honorary title of Hiking Hero of the Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur Scavenger Hunt. Those who submit all 27 solutions can then receive the honorary title of Ratleiks Hafnarfjar\u00f0ar's Challenge King. Three from each category will be drawn at the game's awards ceremony in the autumn.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Further information and facts can be found on the scavenger hunt's website. <a href=\"https:\/\/ratleikur.fjardarfrettir.is\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ratleikur.fjardarfrettir.is <\/a>However, you can also find two versions of the Little Rat Game of Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur there; to take part in it, you don't need a map.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/ratleikur.fjardarfrettir.is\/\">www.ratleikur.fjardarfrettir.is <\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/ratleikur\/\">facebook.com\/ratgame<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>G\u00f6ngur \u00ed upplandinu eru einstaklega n\u00e6randi og r\u00f3andi&nbsp; \u00cd samstarfi vi\u00f0 heilsub\u00e6inn Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0 er hinn vins\u00e6li Ratleikur Hafnarfjar\u00f0ar n\u00fa hafinn \u00ed 24. sinn.
