Format

• This challenge will remain a surprise until your participants arrive at the event. 

• This is a 2-hour event that takes place at West Edmonton Mall. While the activities will require you to move around the mall, no specific athletic ability is needed. Just come prepared for the unexpected and keep an open mind!

• At the event you will be given a Passport with clues to the locations of an unknown number of tasks. Solve the clues, find the locations and complete the tasks.

Participation Tips

• Tasks do not have to be completed in order, if there is a line up you may wish to proceed to a different task.

• It is recommended to wear comfortable clothing and runners. (Any clothing that is damaged during the challenges will be your own responsibility.)

Event Rules

SCORING

• Teams will accumulate points for each task completed. 

• Some tasks only require completion for your team to get maximum points, while other tasks may be timed or scored. 
  

COACHING & OFFICIALS

• At each task an official will be present to verify the completion of the clue in the passport.

• No assistance is allowed from anyone outside of the 5 member team. Spectators may watch but cannot participate in any way.

RULES

• All team members must leave their wristbands on until they turn in the passport

• Do NOT take the passports apart, the staple must remain in place. There is a ten point deduction if the stapel is removed.

• Do not remove the task specific score sheets from respective tasks. Score sheets handed in by team members will not count towards your overall score.

• Activities do not have to be done in any particular order. If there is a long line-up at a task, try another one. There are often no line-ups at some tasks.
  

• Solving clues and/or completing tasks are to be done without any outside resource. Team members are to use their brain power and not seek information from sources such as electronic devices, (phone, tablets), WEM stores, internet, books, spectators etc. unless specified to do so.

• Participants cannot enter a WEM store for the purposes of working on a task or clue, unless the Passport specifically directs them to do so.

• Participants cannot run in the mall.
