Over the summer, my friend Jeff and I concocted a Machievellian little "Midnight Madness" style scavenger hunt. For those of you that have never seen Midnight madness, it is a clue-driven scavenger hunt, rather than object driven. Basically, it involves lots of running around the city trying to interpret a set of clues that will lead you to the finish line. The first set of clues gave them Jeff's unlisted phone number, which had a recording telling them that their mascot was "holding out on them" If the teams were smart enough to open up the mascot, they found that we had sewn a second set of clues inside. Those clues should have led them to that month's issue of playboy, page 115, which mentioned the famous Mid-City Lanes Rock and bowl which was the finish line.. We were truly evil, and of the five participating teams, one was never heard from again. here are a few pictures from the Hunt (supplied by my good friend Andy)
