Summary of a typical event...
“Backpackers” depart
from London and travel to a number of the glamorous destinations on our world
map. The game lasts 80 minutes, with each minute representing a day in the life
of a modern day “backpacker”. Teams nominate roles including a team
leader, and a “runner”, who sporting their “backpack”
communicates their team’s decisions to our staff. Each team is given a
pack containing an introduction to the game and how it works, a travel timetable,
passport, “SOS” vouchers and US Dollars. Teamwork is vital as decisions
have to be made under pressure…
Which mode of transport can you afford? How quickly do you want to get there
and how long will you stay? Will you work to earn money or take one of our challenges
to earn points? Each team will have an adjudicator to record progress and to
hand out information profiles on arrival in each country to assist the team
with challenge answers and provide information on work available and rates of
pay. The digital display clock gives an audible warning sound as each minute
is about to pass and our compère with the aid of the giant progress /
score board comments on team progress. Points are accumulated by progress and
on completion of successful challenges. The team with the most points at the
end wins the game!
