Team Shiny Happy People had a blast and actually crossed the finish line. It was pure luck and lucky guesses. We found we were able to complete the majority of quests without issue, got lucky in Innoventions, got lucky and "lost" which landed us at the lockers before getting the structure quest which resulted in mass confusion, some phone calls by staff and a 20 minute penalty for said phone calls.

Time was wasted with the "__xie ____llow" quest, since I knew where it was but we kept trying to fill out the words. It was awesome to see Happy Haunts at BTMRR since we expected them to be long gone though by the time we got to the check-in she said "they were looking for us" and we were now dead last. We weren't sure if she was kidding or not until we ran into AVP on the way to the trains and she also said they were looking for us. That took a lot of the wind out of our sails.

We had the structure memorized, but by the time we made it to DCA it was about 2:45. We had our first MA argument ever in DCA over the quests that would ultimately kick our asses - so we didn't do most of them. We started doing process of elimination, opened 2 wrong envelopes, found the finish line area and decided to play hide in seek. Found Andrew, Steph and crew and YAY! But we have at least 3 hours in penalties. We're just proud that we finished ER even if it was luck.
