Lounge of Tomorrow

I'm loving the description of Sunday's format. It seems like you can make the game as hard or as easy as you want and still feel like you're accomplishing things.

Game Structure

As the name of the event suggests, this MouseAdventure takes its inspiration from a deck of cards. Once the game offficially starts and you are released from the Paradise Pier Hotel ballroom, head to your designated starting station in order to obtain two key items:

A MouseAdventure custom deck of cards. Like a normal deck of cards, it will have 52 individual cards, each of which is a specific puzzle or task for you to complete.
A book of card game rules to help explain the puzzle on each card.

Right now, you’re probably thinking, "52 quests!? You'll kill us!" Yes, there are 52 cards—but they aren't all full-scale MouseAdventure puzzles. Each of the four suits in the deck represents a geographical area of the resort in which you solve those puzzles. Cards A through 10 in each suit are much simpler than normal MouseAdventure quests, from simply asking a question to relatively simple puzzles.

Successfully solve the A – 10 cards to receive your Jack, Queen, and King quests. For example, write your answers for the Ace, Two, and Three of Bears (which covers Critter Country) on the Jack of Bears card, then show this card to the event crew at the Bears station to get your Jack quest. The process is similar for the Queen and King cards.

Jack quests – are full-scale MouseAdventure puzzles of the type you’re likely familiar with. Solve these in the same area as the suit.
Queen quests – are physical challenges you complete for credit.
King quests – are also full-scale MouseAdventure puzzles, but unlike the Jack quests, are not restricted to the boundaries of the same geographical area.

So while there are 52 "quests" in the game, having so many different scoring opportunities opens up a lot of potential for strategy. Maybe you focus on doing all of the easier low level cards before looping back to the more difficult face cards, or focus on an entire suit at a time. Do you get the Jack quest as soon as you qualify or wait until you've qualified for all three face cards in a suit?

Time management, route management, and thinking through risk vs. reward will be key to a top finishing team.

We do not expect many, if any, teams to actually finish every task. But we do expect that everybody will be able to do a lot of them. Oh, and did we mention that trivia and EyeSpy are also involved? We'll explain those at game time.
