Tips for Maximum Fun

Team Strategy

  • Follow Clue Instructions: Clues have been carefully crafted to maximize fun. Follow rules, guidelines, and restrictions outlined in the clue to ensure all participants have a great experience
  • Stay Together: Some clues might require a single team member to complete task, but should still stick together. For example, if a clue says one person eat a particular food item, teammates are nearby cheering on the eater
  • Communicate: Share ideas openly - sometimes the wildest suggestions lead to solutions

During the Race

  • Read Carefully: Each word in a clue might be important
  • Think Outside the Box: Clues often require creative thinking
  • Take Photos: Document your journey - these make great memories
  • Pace Yourself: It's not just about speed; enjoy the experience
  • Look Around: Pay attention to your surroundings - the answer might be right in front of you

App Usage

  • Keep Devices Charged: Start with fully charged phones
  • Enable Notifications: Stay updated on game announcements
  • Enable Location: Some clues may require location services to be enabled
