Urban Challenge

Ran across this.

Sort of a cross between the Amazing Race and online gaming.

I volunteer to be in someone's war room, but not to run. Very Happy

Here's an example of the cluesheet they got to figure out the checkpoints they needed to run to in the Finals. Apparently they were in contact with folks online back home to help them out. How many can you figure out??

Good thing I did a search. I'll go ahead and pull this thread out of the basement. There are some upcoming urban challenge events....

New York - Saturday, June 4, 2005
Washington, DC - Saturday, June 11, 2005
Boston - Saturday, June 18, 2005
Chicago - Saturday, June 25, 2005
Ottawa - Sunday, July 3, 2005
Los Angeles - Saturday, July 9, 2005
San Francisco - Saturday, July 16, 2005
San Diego - Saturday, July 30, 2005
Lexington - Saturday, September 17, 2005
Phoenix - Saturday, October 29, 2005

I'm seriously considering doing the Chicago one. The fee to join is kinda steep - $150 per couple. My husband has agreed to be my partner, but only if I don't mind him "slowing me down". He's not from the Chicago area, not good with maps and isn't very good at puzzles. Laughing But hey, maybe if I had a chatroom full of puzzlers to help me out it wouldn't matter? Wink

EDIT: I forgot to add that's there's also an online hunt next month.

Does this remind anyone else of Urban Hunt? Wink
