Current fun and Venues

We've managed to compile a larger than need list of challenges for this years hunt, so the idea is to put them all into a hat and pull out 100 or so! We'll keep the others for next years hunt!

Venue is our next problem to tackle, Caesars was good last year, however with the marking taking as long as it did and with some post-hunt-challenges and team games planned we need somewhere where we can pitch up all day and night!

There's been a couple of suggestions which I'm investigating, hopefully we'll find somewhere large, airy and full of alcohol!

All suggestions welcome!

Apologies and Updates!

Ok, hands up, we were terrible in keeping this website/blog updated last year! I promise to do better this year!

We held an awesome event in July, there were the odd few hiccups - marking took a little longer than expected and we didn't really get to announce the winners on the day! On top of that it took forever to collect in all the sponsor money, however in total we raised around £500 for Radio Broadland Kids. A few photos will be uploaded shortly, and even more can be found on the Facebook events page (see link!)

On to this years event!
This year is promising to be more organised, and more ridiculous than last years hunt. We won't be taking on a charity this time, due to the hassle of sponsor money etc. Which means we will be going a little more experimental with some of the challenges!

'Know it' questions are being scrapped and replaced with a 'do it' category. Photo it, make it and find it challenges will still be prominent.

We're still looking into venues, as we want one where we can stay on all night, due to added team challenges and games whilst the scores are being totted up. - Hope you're all ready for some drinks! The date's been provisionally set for Saturday July 11th starting again at 10am and continuing until the early hours of the morning on the 12th!

Challenge suggestions are welcomed, as are judge and team applications.

I will be taking part myself this year so that I can see how it operates from a participants point of view (but don't worry I shan't be cheating as I'm looking forward to watching my team struggle like everyone else!)

I'll keep you posted
