Ultimate Orlando Challenge: Sunday, May 15th, 2005
This Walt Disney World game is a face-to-face event in the spirit of Cast Member scavenger hunts / trivia / puzzle-solving quests. For the moment, this one is also a completely free event! However, due to the nature of the event and the need to have enough packets for players, registration is required. Email to me the names of the two players on each team: challenge@ultimateorlando.com. You heard that right: teams must consist of EXACTLY two members. No more and no less.
I’m hesitant to reveal too many details about this one, but it’s much more in the vein of the games I’ve done in the past at Disneyland (I am the original creator of MouseAdventure: http://www.mouseplanet.com/mouseadventure/). There may be things like a scavenger hunt, or a timed race, or trivia to answer, or knotty logic puzzles to solve that tell you to go find an obscure detail you might otherwise have never noticed. It’s a fair bet I’ll make you go somewhere and count something tedious.
The Ultimate Orlando Challenge #1 will be held in Disney’s Animal Kingdom on Sunday, May 15, 2005 from 1 to 4 PM. Please note that this is likely to be a brutal time of day, as summer inches ever closer, but I have some plans to minimize player fatigue and heatstroke. I’d rather not go into details just yet, but you won’t be crisscrossing the park over and over again. Also, this may be obvious, but you’ll need your own Annual Passport or ticket to enter the park that day.
Once you register, you’ll receive more information about where to meet, what to bring, and so on. So send any questions you have, or just register the names of your two players at challenge@ultimateorlando.com.
It promises to be enormously fun, a great community builder, and it's even free. I’m assuming we’ll just have light participation – it is the first event, after all – but don’t let that stop you! You have nothing to lose, and some Disney books to win as prizes if your team places in the top three. Hope to see many of you there.
