History Mystery Challenge Rules

• Teams consist of 4 to 6 members, 21 years of age and older. Individuals are welcomed. We’ll put you on a team.
• Costumes are encouraged – costumed teams are eligible for ADDITIONAL fun and prizes!
• Teams must register each team member and select a team name. The Team Contact person will coordinate all Team Members and pass along information from the Museum as needed before the event.
• Teams will meet at the Fort Collins Museum, 200 Mathews Street, at 6:00 p.m. to receive Challenge materials and sustenance (food & beverages) for the evening’s scavenger hunt.
• Teams must travel by foot. Leave your cars, bicycles, scooters, and other wheeled vehicles at the Museum. (Wheelchairs are accepted with prior notification!)
• Teams must work together at all times. Dividing the clues among team members and using technology to communicate is considered unfair. Cell phones may only be used to locate missing team members.
• Teams must not peek at the clues prior to the “kick-off” buzzer. Remember the tests you took in school where you couldn’t open the test booklet ahead of time? This is like that.
• Teams must return to the Museum within 90 minutes to participate in the awards ceremony. There will be food, beverages, prizes, and more fun.
• Team sponsorships are welcomed. Team Registration Sponsors donate $1000 and receive a free team registration plus recognition in print materials and signage. (See sponsorship sheet for details.)
