Monopoly Text Message Scavenger Hunt this Weekend!

It's like a bar crawl, but with cash and gift certificate prizes (that will not be printed on blue, pink, green, and yellow paper that your local watering hole will not accept)!

MONOPOLY TEXT MESSAGE SCAVENGER HUNT

WHEN:
Saturday May 22, 2010 - 12pm start. Hunt plus post-hunt party! (Registration fee includes 2 free pints and light appetizers at the party.)

WHAT:
A wacky text messaging Scavenger Hunt with a Monopoly Theme that takes teams of 4 people through 8 Downtown Raleigh districts, visting bars, restaunts, and various points of interest to find clues, answer challenges, and demonstrate your team's ability to Monopolize Downtown Raleigh.

WHERE:
Travel through Glenwood South (including Sauced Pizza), the Warehouse district, the Historic Depot, Fayetteville Street, and four more Downtown Raleigh districts to collect the "Property Deed" cards for 22 properties, four railroads, and two utilities. You'll also draw Community Chest and Chance cards as you go, and take care not to land in Jail, get sentenced to Do Not Pass Go, or gasp... select a ticket of Do Not Collect $200!

THE OBJECT:
The team that collects all 22 Proprty Deed cards, while also finishing with the most money is the winner. Money is won for earning property deed cards, Chance & Community Chest, passing Go, completing team challenges, photo challenges, etc. Money is lost through Chance & Community Chest, incorrect answers, landing on property with houses or hotels on it, etc.

THE GAME:
Teams gather at the designated starting point where, at 12 noon, teams will receive their first clue via text message. Teams answer clues and proceed to the "property" indicated in the follow-up text message.

Upon arrival, teams will have to perform tasks to earn their property deed card. Most stops will require the team to buy (1) beverage per team to complete the challenge and earn the deed card. Earning your property deed cards increases your team's net worth by the value of that property and also gives you the next clue to solve to get to your next stop.

Teams not completing all the above before the hunt end time will receive text notification that the hunt has ended and where to proceed for the wrap party. Most all teams will finish before the cutoff, but if you lollygag or get thrown in jail too much, you may not make it!

WINNING THE GAME:
First Prize - $700 ($200 cash & $500 in Gift Certificates)
Second Prize - $350 ($150 cash & $200 in Gift Certificates)
Third Prize - $200 ($100 cash & $100 in Gift Certificates)
Best Team Costumes - $100 ($100 in Gift Certificates)

COST:
Just $20/person if you register by the WED 5/19, 5pm deadline. 2 FREE Pints Included !
$25 for registrations received after WED 5/19, 5pm (space permitting).
