Clue Pic for REACH Retreat Prize #2

Prize #2 – You’ll need to head to a park that has the same name as one of the dorms on UNL’s Campus.  Then check out the picture above for a little more direction.

Prize #3 -Which of these things is not like the other ones? To figure this one out you’ll have to go to the main Campus Impact Website – www.campusimpact.org and look in the Photo Albums of Past Events for a photo that doesn’t belong.  That will tell you where to go…when you get there look for the prize near the year 1982.

Make sure and call or txt Matt if/when you find the prize!

The four events were the Meuse; the Tongue Drag, the Square Maze, and the Slide Puzzle.
In the Meuse, the team had a limited number of eight foot boards, and had to get all members of their team across an area, placing the boards on cinder blocks.
For the tongue drag, three members of each team had to drag their tongue down twenty feet of a substance, in a minute or less. A roll of the dice determined what substance each person would get. The five substances were catchup, mustard, mayonnaise, horseradish sauce, and the 2nd hottest BBQ sauce from Buffalo Wild Wings.
The Square Maze consisted of a blank grid, taped to the floor. Each team had to figure out the path through the maze, by process of elimination/ guessing. Every time someone stepped in a wrong square, that person had to go to the back of the line, and someone new had to try.
In the Slide Puzzle, there were giant pieces of a slide puzzle, each with a person underneath. Someone was on a ladder, directing the people to move, in order to solve the puzzle.
Finally, the bucket races consisted of four people on a team, each holding a large bucket with gravel inside. The goal of the race was for the teams to run around a square, holding the buckets. The teams had to stay in order, and when the first person on one team caught up with the last person on the other team, they won.

Here are a few pictures from each event.

We kicked off our Summer Gathering a few weeks ago with Couch-O-Rama. Couch-O-Rama involved four teams, each having a truck and a couch. Their mission was to go to as many of the pre-determined locations around Lincoln as possible in an hour and a half.

At each location, they had to take a picture of their team on and around their couch, in front of the location. Upon their return to the church, as a final task, each team had to construct a cheer that utilized their team name. The winner of the cheer earned additional points, added to their total. The four teams were the Lazy Boys & Girls (first place), the Hide-a-Beds (second place), the Love Seats (third place), and the Chaise Loungers (fourth place).
