The premise of this activity is a competitive game played by teams or individuals in which the aim is to complete challenges to claim Locations for points. This task may be hindered by handicaps. You are not required to claim any specific location, but must make moves that will help you win. 

Recommended Number of Players - 4-12 players (teams of 2 or 3) 

Recommended Playtime - 3-5 Hours

Rules

General

1)The starting location for this game is Grand Central Terminal.

2)Individuals or teams must compete to claim Locations that are marked on the interactive map below (use the Google Maps app to see public transit on map).

2a)Locations can be claimed by multiple teams.

3)You may use any mode of transportation except cars of any kind (buses are OK). 

4)Points are your score in the game. You earn them by claiming locations or completing challenges.

Challenges

1)Challenges are randomly selected from the list of challenges below only once a team truly arrives at the location (if a location requires you to go inside or upstairs to arrive at a certain place, you must go there). 

2)You select a challenge by generating a random number 1-50 (ask Siri or google to do so).

3) Some challenges are Battle Challenges, where both teams must stop whatever they are doing and compete for the available points. These are non vetoable challenges.

4)Challenges may be vetoed if you are not able to complete them. In this case, you lose the amount of points specified in the specific challenge’s Veto Penalty section.

5)Locations are claimed by completing a challenge after arriving at the location. If you are claiming a location, you only get the location points reward (not challenge points). If you veto a challenge while attempting to claim a location, subtract the veto penalty of the specific challenge from the location points reward, then pull and complete another challenge to claim the location.

6)You may pull a challenge while not at a claimable location by generating a random number 1-50. You may only have one challenge you are attempting/in your hand at any given time. Challenges attempted while not at a claimable location must still be vetoed if not completed. In this case, subtract the veto penalty from your total points.

6a) You may only attempt two challenges in between locations being claimed.

Handicaps

1)While selecting a challenge, handicaps are mixed in with the challenges. They have a random chance of being selected like any other challenge from the list and may make the game temporarily more difficult for you or your team.

2)Once a team pulls a handicap, they must act on it immediately. You have to pull another challenge to claim the location you were trying to claim.

3)Handicaps are non vetoable. 

Game/Admin

1)Take pictures as proof of completion for your challenges, keep a list of locations you have claimed, and keep an honest and detailed point total for yourself or your team.

2)Teams must arrive back at the start location (Grand Central Terminal) at the end of game time (decide on an end time for your game) or face a late penalty (25 points off for every minute late).

3) For safety, try to avoid any suspicious actions that would draw unnecessary attention to you, especially in public indoor spaces.
