I don't have a smartphone; can I play?

Yes, you can. There's a URL printed on each QR code. Use it to visit the library's mobile website and get the same clue you would find if you snap with your phone.

I don't have a data plan; can I play?

Yes, you can. The QR codes don't take you to the internet. When you snap the code, a plain-text clue appears on your phone. The final clue asks you to send a text message to enter or gives you the option of sending an email. If you don't want to send us a SMS entry, use a library computer to login to your email account and send your entry.
