As part of the Pirate Adventure for the incoming freshman class, there are 31 doubloons scattered around on SHU’s website waiting to be clicked. Find a doubloon, click on it and earn the point in your badges account. Find enough and you’ll earn these step-up or “composite” badges (our technical term for them here at the TLTC).
The Pieces of Eight badge can be earned by collecting any eight. The Treasure Seeker badge is the next stop at twenty. Only the best of you will earn the Doubloon Hunter badge when you’ve collected all 31 out there waiting for you.
As an added bonus, if you collect all 31, you’ll be entered into a drawing for Pirate’s Gold. The randomly selected winner will earn $200 added to their Pirate’s Gold account. The randomly selected second and third place finishers will each be awarded $50 in Pirate’s Gold.
The satisfaction of finding all 31 doubloons, plus badges, plus the shot at Pirate’s Gold all for just searching the website and learning about important SHU services? Heck, we’ll even give you hints to get started. Who comes up with things like this? We do, and that’s why you’ve made the right decision in coming to Seton Hall. Let the Hunt begin!
The drawing for the winners will happen shortly after everyone is back on campus, later this month.
When will the winners be chosen and announced?
I found all of them and when i clicked on the 2nd doubloon it says that i already have it but it wont show up in my Doubloon Hunt list on my account… do i still get credit even though i can see it on my list?
Hmmm… #31 is a tough one. So you’ve looked at the Communicate, Collaborate and Contribute page located at http://www7.shu.edu/technology/community-help.cfm. Perhaps if you knew which Desk is responsible for the Service offered on this page, you’d be headed in the right direction.
I still can’t find 31, i’ve looked on the communicate, collaborate, and contribute website and every link associated with it. Any other advice?
Thank you so much! I wasn’t if It had to be turned in to get the doubloon or if it was located with next to the .pdf file online somewhere.
Well, did you do your health forms?
The last one I need is number 16? Can someone help? I feel silly because it’s probably super easy.
#31 had taken a brief leave of absence, and #27 had strayed from its regular place. But both have returned and are waiting for you to find them.
I can’t seem to find the 31st doubloon. May I have a hint please?
Can I please have another hint for the 27th I am struggling heavily here.
can someone please give me a hint for the 2nd doubloon?? thats the last one i need! (-:
There’s a program that runs every hour that awards them. Since you posted, they’ve already been put into your account!
HI, I found all 31 doubloons but I didn’t get any of the composite badges
found it thank you so much!!!
OK. Remember, you’ll be graded on the curve. And you’ll have to make a second click to get there.

Yea #27 is the only one giving me trouble.
There really must be something wrong with me… I can’t find the second one at all… I feel like it’s easy.. but I’ve done everything with advisers, guidance, counselors…. D’:
Haha same here. Its the 27th I cant find but the “seasick” makes me think Hardware Repair or Service Desk but cant find one there. I think you can definitely find the 2nd one!
I CAN’T FIND THE 2ND OR 27TH. PLEASE GIVE ME A HINT. I’M GOING CRAZY ):
It’s meant to be cryptic 😉
Once you figure it out, you’ll understand…
Never mind, I found it…you are very tricky Mr. McGee…
I’m not sure 27 is on the website, I feel there may be a mistake in programming. I’ve gotten all but 27 as well
Me too! What’s that mean exactly?
To finish the hunt you have to get started.
Ive found all but the 27th – The one about my laptop getting seasick. Help!
