Q. Prize money? Did you say prize money?
A. Well yes, technically we can’t offer “prize money” due to the non-profit status of the event. But, what we are offering to the winners of the Quest for Hope is the opportunity to defend your title as Tampa’s Greatest Scavenger Team. In addition to your bragging rights, the winning team will join in the fun next year….all fees waived.
In addition we also offer some interesting prizes and awards along the way for those competing. Everyone participating in the Quest for Hope will receive certificates and other honors. Bragging rights for surviving this quest around Tampa are yours alone.
Q. What??
A. Logistics: At least one member of each team must perform a challenge. Each team must use strategy to determine who will take on each challenge, not knowing what challenges lie ahead.
All teams will start at Channelside. Each team will be given a “Team Kit” that will contain a score sheet, list of venues, a clue sheet, etc. All teams will not start at the same venue and riddles will be provided to determine order. The challenges will not be revealed until the venue is reached.
Teams will arrive at a challenge, where they will receive an envelope containing the challenge description. As they finish a challenge, local judges will verify completion, identify team member who completed the challenge and mark the score sheet.
Q. What type of challenges?
A. This is a good old-fashioned scavenger hunt with a twist! Unusual challenges to tempt the taste buds, make your mouth water, and team photos to take that will exercise your brain and your funny bone. Your tasks may involve strange foods, tasty beverages, lyrics for old songs, dance steps, test of your athletic abilities (how good are you with a hockey stick), strangers, interactions with inanimate objects, and more. All in the name of fun and fundraising.
Q. Who gets the Money raised?
A. The proceeds will benefit the 1 Voice Foundation. These funds will be specifically used for children and families affected by cancer and chronic blood disorders to embark on conservation activities in association with The Florida Aquarium.
