Requirements
Individuals must be physically fit and mentally alert.... and FEARLESS...
Details
Individuals will equip themselves with basic hiking gear (food, water, rope, flashlight, etc.) as well as a GPS and Internet-capable cellphone
(these two will be on sale for those that do not already own them)
The terrain will involve an element of danger, and persons afraid of heights, insects, tunnels, caves, darkness or persons who cannot swim are advised not to join.
Individuals will compete against each other to recover the hidden treasure.... clues (maps, keys, etc.) will be hidden in remote and quite inaccessible places... codes will "unlock" information on the internet.... movement through the game (which spans the entire island) will be faciltated by GPS co-ordinates.
Rules (more may be added before it starts)
1. Entry is limited to adults between the age of 18 and 55 years of age.
2. Participation is open to both residents and non-residents
3. The laws of Barbados
Preparation
The start date will be announced shortly, but will allow at least 6 weeks for interested persons to:
1. Join a gym and get in shape
2. See a shrink and overcome all phobias
3. Acquire equipment and learn how to use it (for example, waypoints, tracks and routes on a GPS)
Disclaimer
Persons will sign a waiver similar to what is used before a major surgical procedure, in the event of accident, dismemberment or death...
no claims will be entertained.... participation is entirely at YOUR OWN RISK.
Individuals are encouraged to simply "drop out" at any point... if they feel unsafe or ill... the organizers wish you to have a fun time... FREE of incident or accident.
Our helicopter will be on standby to remove persons from inaccessible areas, if needed.
Cost
To be announced, right now we are looking for sponsors in order to keep participant cost to an absolute minimum.
