What's up, party people?

Next up in the 2006 season come The Hunt: Gutcheck! Get ready for the most insane game we've come up with yet (yes, wilder than Overkill). We're going to be playing on Saturday, May 27th. Team sign up and preparations begin at 12:00 in the north room at Vermont St. BBQ. So show up on time, get your heads straight and come play with us!

What is it about this game that makes it so different? As most of you know, The Hunt always works around a different theme or style of play. We've had code breaking, foot races, location finding, a kidnapping, and a landrush to name a few. This time we'll be testing your knowledge of Lawrence and the surrounding areas (as always), your mapping and racing skills, and your will. Let's see just how much your team wants to win this thing. We've created a series of riddles to challenge that brain, and a wicked fast set of dares and challenges to, well, check your guts. What kind of dares are we talking about? Well, would you...

(Edited to save the surprise)

Climb Wells Outlook? How about the _____ Tower?

Have a shopping cart race at _________?

Build the great _______ pyramid?

Find the perp? Talk to a real perp?

Ride the __________ downtown? If you can get on top of it, God bless you.

Mr. Beer. He's back!

So we're taking a little break from the mind melting challenges we used last time, and just playing a nice, clean scavenger hunt. The thing is, what you're collecting will be, among other things, photographs of your team accomplishing the challenges! So really, there isn't any one right answer, and you will be judged on what you turn in. The points go up more and more for each stop when it's done in a creative, funny, naked, daring, or challenging way. In this game, you decide the difficulty. The harder you push yourself, the more points you get, and then closer you are to getting that prize pack, including more 4 day passes to the Wakarusa Festival!

Or at least you'll have a hell of a story at work on Monday.


Here's what you MUST BRING to the registration:

1. At least one digital camera or polaroid. Something instant. Other wise, we can't score you. We won't take anything else, unless specifically listed in the clue.

2. Teammates (duh). The more the better. Psst, I'll give you a little hint to help. Bring a runner, a daredevil, a botanist, a driver, and a millionaire with a death wish. I'm kidding. You really won't need a botanist.

3. For the wheel man, you should know that you will need a car if you want to stand a chance.

4. $8.00 per person for entry. After recouping losses, all proceeds will go to the Lawrene Humane Society. Hooray for puppies!

What you might WANT to bring to help you, and us, out.

1. A Lawrence map.
2. A Video Camera. We'll be editing together some footage later for future events, and if your team wants to get some screen time we'd love it.
3. Swimsuits, not neccessary for maximum scorage, but I'll cater to you blubbering babies.
4. A laptop for research.
5. Cellphones. You will be allowed to call Kitty or I as many times as you want for help. No limits to nudges!

That's it! We'll see you there. Write us to pre-register a team, so we'll know how many jars of Vaseline we need to buy. Also, you will NEED to sign a Liability Waiver for us and our sponsors, so if you don't exercise proper caution and get yourself hurt or arrested, it's your own damn fault for not being awesome enough. Here's the info again, condensed.
