The Big Chill is a reimagined and reinvigorated Cycling Scavenger Hunt that runs from the Winter Solstice, December 21(7am) to the Spring Equinox on March 20, 2026 (11:59pm).
The Big Chill Buffalo is a winter long, outdoor, scavenger hunt. The game is designed to help people experience Buffalo Outdoors in the winter. This is the official forum for asking questions, chatting with other players and anything else related to the game!
The scavenger hunt is based on a set of missions, which cyclists* (or x-country skiers, snowshoers or pedestrians – no cars) can choose from. Hundreds of missions are posted throughout the course of the hunt. Some are harder and are worth more points, where others are easier to tackle, and are assigned fewer points.
