Here’s how it all works:
- Entrance fee is $7.00 cash per person (to cover the cost of fuel for drivers, small prizes and sundry expenses), to be paid on the day of the event.
- Teams will consist of 4 or 5 participants (ideally) who must stay together for the duration of the game.
- Each team must have a driver, and drivers will be given $10 compensation towards their fuel costs.
- Each team must have at least one person to take photos/videos and camera/phone to take them on. All pictures must be taken during the duration of the game.
- You can organize your own team (to be submitted by deadline); otherwise teams will be made up by the co-ordinators within a day or two of the event.
- A task list will be provided to each team, and teams will be given 15 minutes just prior to the event to review it and strategize.
- Teams will then be given 2 hours to complete as many items on the list as possible.
- Items on the task list will have points attached (so teams should take this into consideration when strategizing).
- The list will consist of things to be photographed, team pictures (other than the person holding the camera) at identified locations, or interactions with people in the community (to be videoed and brought back as evidence).
- Teams must submit their digital evidence to the co-ordinators at the Whistle Stop Pub by 4:00 p.m., or risk a deduction of points (as set out on the task list).
- Participants must be prepared to be a little bold and crazy.
