Object of the Game:

In the proudest tradition of the scavenger hunt, the idea and purpose is to collect as many 'things' as one can, with intent of having collected more 'things' than your competition. 'Less you grew up without the benefit of the American public school system, this should be good and familiar to you.

If you did grow up without the benefit of lunch hour 'keep 'em busy' activities, just think back to the gentle cavemen of yore. He grew no crops, he hunted no food. Small and weak he roamed the land taking what he could in order to survive. However! In this day and age we're taking marked advantage of technology to allow environmentally friendly 'thing' gathering. The medium through which you will collect shall be digital photography.

Teams may be registered for 4-6 people. Folk wandering in on their lonesome will be assigned to a team.

Your entire team must participate. This does not mean they need to be in each photo. Just make sure you are sticking together and working as a team!

Cameras will not be provided.

Silver based cameras, while a delightful medium, will not be accepted for purposes of the scavenge. Feel free to bring it, but we shan't be developing and judging the photos taken.

Schedule:

Show-time is 1:20 at the Plaza Pavilion. This time will be used to meet up with potential groups and generally mull about.

1:45   List distribution, rule reminders and general administration.

2:00   The "horn" will be sounded and the event officially commences.

5:00   Time to start heading back to the stable.

5:15   All photos are due for turn in.

6:00   Award ceremony.

The Hunt!

To pack the maximum entertainment value per volume we've divided your prey into four sub-categories. A suiting metaphor would be Cheeto's brand cheese poofs being made 'dangerously cheesy'. Not unlike that forbidden fruit, we too have pushed the fun into the realms of the extreme.

Basic Listed Items

Find the basic items that are on the list...yes, it is as simple as that. Don't worry it gets harder!

History View!

That big 'ol castle over there? That's a landmark, the adjacent wishing well? Landmark. Some groovy clock in Toon Town? I know what you're thinking and you're exactly right. That's a landmark.

But! What say you see Goofy floating around, dispensing joy to children? Get a photo, 'cause that nicely satisfies the celebrity 'scavenge'. Pretty sweet, pretty easy.

Puzzle Solve!

Like the pirates of yore, your team will be provided with an utterly delightful riddle and/or bit of lore that will lead the knowledgeable or clear-thinking team in the direction of success.

Example: "You're late, you're late! …for a very important date!" Which obviously pertains to the Jungle Cruise. Because if you're not on the Jungle Cruise, you're not really living life. (Actually is not the jungle cruise. Just wanted to throw you off.)

 
   

Interpretive Thought!

Much like the puzzle, an objective will be provided to the team. However this time the destination will be clearly laid out in the form of a photograph that it is your task to secure. For instance, you may be asked for an image of your group navigating through the entryway turnstile. You need to make that picture happen.

Of course the real objectives will be infinitely more nefarious than that.

Final notes...

If the local and the idea behind it wasn't indication enough, we're traipsing through the Magic Kingdom in order to have a good time. While there is the subtle hint of competition in the air, that's not entirely the point. So if your group finds themselves being worked up into a frenzy over some fine detail in the day's assignment... Well, is it really worth it?

On that note, the Magic Kingdom is a sprawling fiefdom, even if it weren't required to have your entire group participate in photos... Try and keep track of one another. It just saves unnesesary hassle to know if everyone's accounted for come the end of the day.

Also, bear in mind that Disneyland is also populated with other folk than just yourselves. Ten billion tourists from around the world come to Disneyland every single day and the park employs a person or two themselves. Be courteous while dashing about.

Rules and Regulations

Maps and guidebooks are permitted. We understand that a select few haven't committed the entire layout/history of Disneyland to memory and while we don't understand what you do with your free time, we will accommodate you.

Concerning cameras: This is a grim day and age people. A time of mad haxxorz and folk who know how to 'jack nodes' and do so with little regard for potential consequences. As such make sure your camera, when you bring it, has a nice empty memory card and you have a kung-fu grip on the use and application of a digital time stamp feature. It's not that we don't trust -you-... we don't trust the shadow government which lies in wait, plotting to upset our good summer fun by importing pictures of Mickey doing the most scandalous things onto your camera.

Also make sure the batteries are charged. But that's more of a 'good friend' sort of advisement. Because we're all friends. Forever.
