About Event
Are you competitive? Do you have a deep urge to understand the history of specific regions within the city of Toronto? Do you like to run around? Are you a riddle-enjoyer? Can you take an incredible 0.5x photo? Do you notice a million little things walking down the street? Are you a lover of fun facts? Has it been a really long time since you had the opportunity to... win something??
The GO OUTSIDE Games are for you.
HOW IT WORKS:
1 neighbourhood. 30 initial clues. 60 minutes on the clock.
The games begin.
Teams play to their strengths: some are slow and thoughtful, solving complex riddles and recalling information from "that one podcast that one time", while some rely on SPEED (sprinting around, racing to be the first to collect single-submission clues).
Some teams stick together because "they're here to have a good time", while some teams LITERALLY DO NOT CARE AT ALL ABOUT TEAMWORK AND ONLY CARE ABOUT WINNING SO THEY SPLIT UP TO BE MAXIMALLY EFFICIENT. Play how you wanna play. We don't judge 😌💅
With 10 minutes remaining, the leaderboard is HIDDEN -- It's anyone's game. Very. Mysterious.
Teams gather, suspense hangs in the air. Everyone must do a drumroll.
Everyone's a winner because of the friends we made along the way. 💕
(but the actual, real winners get a prize) 🤑💰
