What are Missions?

• Missions are activities for individuals to complete before

time runs out on the hunt. Evidence of a completed

mission is provided by uploading a photo to the game

system. Our judges then check to ensure the photo shows

evidence that the directions in the Mission were met.

• Keep watching! New Missions will be added as the game

goes on. :-D
