• Brain Teasers of all shapes & sizes
• Games of Strategy 
• Tests of Memory and Coordination
• Classic challenges of Logic & Wit
• Gigantic 3-D Puzzles
• Word & Number Problems on a Life-size scale

CHECKPOINT RULES: 
​- EACH WILL HAVE A 20 MINUTE TIME LIMIT per TEAM
- FAILURE TO COMPLETE A CHECKPOINT WILL RESULT IN A PENALTY TO FINAL TIMES

EXAMPLES: 
​Imagine:
​Running as a team through half a mile of trails, exiting the woods to an open field, and reaching a checkpoint that features the classic game Traffic Jam, except this time, the cars are not so miniature. ​

​Now you've ran over two miles as a team, and in the distance you can see gigantic pieces of wood laid across the ground. The checkpoint "Puzzle Sticks" is waiting for you.

AND IGNITE YOUR BRAIN IN WAYS MOST OF US SELDOM DO!
