The adventure has ended. Here are the final results.
Note: Some of the scores may have fluctuated slightly due to players switching away from their clan after the competition was completed (with some points lost or transferred to the other clan), or some points may have been added after the competition was completed but before the final scores were displayed on this page.
The winners announced at the bottom of the page (and on social media @QuestaGame), which were assessed the moment all sighting submissions from the 2019 University BioQuest were verified, are the official winners.
