- If the clue has gone missing or is not avaliable, there will be no time penalty for txting for help.
- We have a variety of businesses helping out with this challenge. Please make sure that you are considerate of customers, don't run or make a lot of noise in their buildings and never leave a mess.
Planning Comments- Spoiler:
hey folks. I would be keen to organize a city wide treasure hunt, basically you have to go around to various places, do challenges, get clues to figure out where to go next.
I wanted to organize a car rally, but because most of the forum members don't drive, the best way to do things would probably be via bus.
So basically all you would need is a metro card, you are in a group and have to go around the city - a bit like the amazing race. The event would probably go from 10am to 4pm or so, on a weekend, there would be break for lunch.
At the moment I'm thinking we could do this in May.
Please post below if you are interested, and say if you'd be willing to put in say $5, for activities or prizes.

| THIS SOUNDS SO SO SO FUN.
I did something like this once with Homicidal Heroine. xD It was part treasure hunt, part photo scavenger hunt.
I'd happily pay $5 to do something like this~ |

| So keen for this!  Epic idea!  Always wanted to do something like this!  Although I can only participate in this if it's not on the same weekend as NZAE (May 8-9th) so as long as it's not on that weekend then I'll definitely do this! 
I'll happily pay $5, we need money for transport and we should definitely have prizes! Although people will have to sort out their own lunches and stuff.  |

| theres not really too much to organize. the main thing will be comming up with clues and challlenges and driving out to all the locations and setting things up.
the downside of organizing this is that i cant take part! |

| I was thinking of something slightly different myself. And the lack of cars is a problem, as I would have liked it city wide too.
But as I see it you have two choices 1-Cars/buses as you said. 2-Keep it in an area that you can walk around. For example there are heaps of different places in the center of ChCh. |
