Olympic Iliad? |
Scrambles make
cattle stampedes look well organized! Competing teams
of scramblers crawl all over
Seattle Center's
74-acre campus
like it was one big ant hill. You are surrounded with
easily recognizable landmarks like the Space Needle,
Pacific Science Center, Climate Pledge Arena and MoPop. However, you will find yourself
chasing around places where you didn't know there were
places such as the Olympic Iliad, the
Guardian Lions and Bloody Erich. |
|
Frenzied Fun! |
Your team, the Clue Busters, huddles
to establish a winning game plan. Everyone is on high
alert - "be resourceful and scramble as a team." Some
of your teammates are sent dashing off to solve
mysteries lurking about. Others are frantically trying
to find certain items. You are dispatched with your
team's remaining players scheming ways to crack a
challenging puzzle. Periodically your team regroups to
exchange roles. By the end of the Scramble you have done
so much careening about Seattle Center that you feel
you have played the role of the ball in a pinball
machine! Friendly but frenzied fun!
Whew! But wait - for bonus points we have the Seattle
Crosswords puzzle to solve. Best of all we will cap
off the day at the
Artists At Play Playground! |
|
What age
kids? |
Student Scrambles
are fun events of competition and teamwork geared for
kids from middle school/junior high through high
school ages. And they are a very fun way to
"tour" Seattle Center's most interesting places.
Designed and emceed by the ClueMaster.
For safety, these contests are
held entirely on Seattle Center's 74-acre campus
with no vehicle traffic to worry about.
NEW!
On occasion, teams of corporate and other adult groups
have a blast on a Scramble event! Please ask for
details. (see contact info below) |
|
What about
chaperones? |
Adult chaperones (one or two) are required
for every team for middle
school/junior high age kids during the entire event
(but not high school age kids).
They are responsible for the whereabouts and safety of
the kids on their team. However, they are not to be
helpful in getting points for their team. |
|
What gear do we need? |
All kids and chaperones should come to this event with a pencil
or pen. During this event kids are not permitted to use mobile phones,
tables or other electronics to help them with the
Scramble. Everyone should wear comfortable walking/running
shoes. Oh yes, and bring a winning attitude!! |
|
Where do we
go? |
Each team is given
a
Search Areas Map of Seattle Center outlined with
9
search areas: Theaters,
McCaw Hall, Climate Pledge Arena, International Fountain, Center
House, MoPOP, Pacific Science Center, Space Needle.
It is
left as a matter of team strategy as to which Search
Areas
teams go to and in what order. Chaperones will be instructed
by the ClueMaster to keep
the kids on their team together within each Search
Area before proceeding to the next Search Area.
|
|
Where do we meet? |

ClueMaster at
MoPOP (formerly EMP) turnaround circle. Cars and busses can
drop-off there (enter @ Harrison St. & 5th Ave.
North).
