Asking for Directions...

Jimmy brought a few parents into town ahead of time to work on some logistics. I merely played photographer. Finally it was time to brief the kids and get the game started. Each team was given a list of guidelines and then their first clue.

It was interesting watching how the kids asked folks around town for directions. A few of the parents were concerned that we’d opted not to provide the teams with a map. We started the race right outside of the tourism office and assumed most of the kids would think to go inside for a map, but only Max and Julius actually did. Veronica got this map from her videographer Tony who broke down and gave it to the team after they completed their fourth task.

They asked waiters and shopkeepers where to find landmarks for various tasks.

This tour guide was asked by multiple teams for help throughout the game.
