How To Play

Short Answer: This game is designed to use a minimum of two people - a designated driver, and a dedicated navigator - to read clues and solve puzzles to get you from one destination to the next, in order, and have fun completing a designated course. Wrong answers will send you in the wrong direction, so take your time and enjoy the game!

Safety First:. You should have a vehicle in proper working order and a full tank of gas. You should also be generally aware of your location and have a navigation aid like a map on your phone or car should you get completely turned around. All directions will be relative to the position of the driver of the vehicle.

All clues should be plainly visible from the safety and luxury of your vehicle. You will not need to get out, hop any fences, swim to any islands, or swing from any vines to get a clue or answer. The roads you travel should be well lit and in good repair. You will not need to do any off roading, forge any rivers, or jump any canyons. 

This is NOT a timed event. There is no reason to speed or violate any traffic laws. Speeding will ultimately work against you as you may miss a vital clue, turn, or cop with a radar gun. 

If in doubt - be safe. This is a game of mental dexterity and puzzle solving - not an action adventure movie.
