Duration

2, 4 or 8 hours

Objective

Your goal is to complete as many challenges as possible. Every challenge you complete earns you points. For every 10 points you earn, you will receive a hint that gives you an advantage during the finale. Half an hour before the end of the game, you will all drive to a final location where you’ll play the finale. During the finale, you will have 10 minutes to collect as many flags as possible. Some flags earn points, others give penalty points. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins!

Route

You decide your own ideal route to complete as many challenges as possible.

Final location

Halfway through the game, the final location will appear on the map. That’s where you’ll play the finale. You don’t have to go there right away, but you can already take it into account for your planning and route. Half an hour before the end of the game, the ability to complete challenges ends and you’ll be asked to head to the final location. No need to turn it into a race — the game master will decide when the finale actually starts. If you’re running late, please let us know via the chat in the app.

Challenges

There are several types of challenges:

  1. XL challenges
    • The app contains a map with XL challenges.
    • If you visit the location of an XL challenge, you can play it.
    • After completing an XL challenge, a new XL challenge will appear on the map.
    • This way, you all follow a similar route, but you decide how to get from one challenge to the next.
    • XL challenges earn 10 points each.
    • There are a total of 4 XL challenges in the game.
  2. Mini challenges
    • Along the way, you’ll encounter mini challenges.
    • The more kilometers you drive, the more mini challenges will appear.
    • Mini challenges earn 2 points each.
    • A maximum of 20 mini challenges can be played.
  3. Timer challenges
    • Timer challenges will appear regularly in the app. Only the team that completes it first will unlock a bonus location on the map.
    • Visiting these bonus locations can earn you extra hints.
    • Bonus locations will only appear after completing XL Challenge 3.

You can complete challenges immediately once they appear in the list, or save them for a more suitable moment later in the game. Make sure to finish all challenges no later than half an hour before the end of the game. After that, challenges can no longer be completed.

Challenge evaluation

Photo and video challenges must first be reviewed. This may take a few minutes. You will only receive points after a challenge is approved. If the challenge is rejected, you won’t get a second chance and no points will be awarded. Creativity is rewarded! Teams that really go all out creatively will be rewarded with extra points.

Points unlock hints

For every 10 points you earn, you’ll receive a hint that gives you an advantage during the finale.

The finale

You will play the finale on foot. Every 100 meters you walk, a flag will appear in the app. At each flag, you must decide: do we grab the flag or not? This is when your collected hints come in handy! The more hints you have, the better you’ll know which flags to avoid. A good flag earns you points. A wrong flag gives you penalty points. After 10 minutes, the finale ends. The team with the most points at the end of the finale wins the game.

Safety

Always pay close attention to traffic and don’t make it a race. It’s a “road trip”, not a “road race”. The finale is played on foot, so no dangerous situations can arise from speeding cars.
