Luke's Scavenger Hunt Birthday Party of Doom

Luke's Birthday Scavenger Hunt of Doom!

Rules:

• No splitting up. Groups have to stay together and with their chaperone. No running off alone.

• Please be calm, quiet and respectful inside businesses and polite around other pedestrians! Chaperones will deduct two points for each incidence of inappropriate behavior.

• Chaperones are not allowed to assist or give hints! They can only assist with photography or videography. They should, however, keep track of points earned fair and square by their team to make determining the winner simpler when we all reconvene.

• All groups need to meet up again at the gazebo at 3:45. Don't be late!
