Event start 
Each registered team will check in at On Deck (910 NW 14th Avenue) between 10:00 and 10:30am. At 10:45 the Portland Trivia Challenge will commence. Each team will have ten minutes to complete 15 multiple choice questions relating to the City of Portland. Each question answered correctly will subtract two minutes from the team’s final time. This trivia challenge is a great way to tip a tight finish in your favor. Once the trivia has been completed, everyone will receive the clues and the clock will start.

The Hunt 
The hunt is divided into two halves. The first set of clues will lead each team to six different checkpoints. The checkpoints do not need to be reached in any particular order or on any particular route. Try to plot the most efficient route between checkpoints and, once there, take a photo that includes both team members and the checkpoint itself. Teams must visit every checkpoint with the exception of one “skip.” Each team may skip one checkpoint of the total 12. Remember, if a team uses its “skip” on one of the first six clues, then it is commits itself to visiting every checkpoint in the second half before ever seeing the clues. 
 
Once teams have visited the first six checkpoints (or five if you have used your skip) they must find a Stumptown staff member at the challenge midpoint in order to get their second set of clues. The midpoint location will be revealed with the first set of clues. The Stumptown staff member will verify that each team has visited all initial checkpoints before turning over the second sheet of clues. 
 
The second set of clues will send each team off on the final leg of their adventure. Once the remaining checkpoints have been hunted out, it’s a race back to base.

Event Finish 
A team has completed the race when it has visited 11 of 12 checkpoints and successfully arrived back at base. The clock stops when the team comes through the door and alerts Stumptown staff of its arrival. The race takes an average of 2-4 hours with an absolute deadline of five hours.  
 
Once back at base, Stumptown staff will record your final time and review photographs. Each incorrect or unintelligible photograph will add 30 minutes to the team’s final time. In order to win a prize, all 11 checkpoints must be clearly identified and photographed. 
 
The awards ceremony will take place at 3:00 but Stumptown Staff will stay to check you in and keep the party going until 5:00. We will announce the top ten teams to finish and the rest will be available on the website the next day. The top three teams will take home prizes. Everyone will leave with something.
