This year will be our 6th annual Scavenger Hunt at Prototype. Do you believe it?!

 

Typically, we host this event in the Spring, but with the current circumstances, we figured we would hold off until SeptemberA yellow smiley face with a big smile on it.

Every year, our goal is to make the scavenger hunt a little more fun AND a little different.

This year, Coach Leah will be heading up the event with Coach Caitlin and the team to bring you a fun-filled Saturday morning!

All the specifics are a SECRET but we outlined everything you need to know right now below!

WHAT?: 6th Annual Prototype Scavenger Hunt. Teams of 2 move around town completing tasks and challenges as they race against the clock! 

 

WHEN?: September 12th, Start time: 7 am 

 

WHO?: Teams of 2!  Prototype members are encouraged to have family participate and if you wish to have an outside friend as your partner pair just make sure they sign a waiver and let us know in advance! Sign up you and your partner here —–> SIGN UP HERE

 

WHERE?: As we are prioritizing social distancing we are offering two versions of the scavenger hunt. We have a virtual option and a live option that will take place at Prototype. 

  • Live: Gather at 7 am in the Prototype Parking lot. Your safety is our first priority so we will continue to implement social distancing measures. We will spread across the entire lot and then off you will go. We ask that everyone is mindful of social distance guidelines both on and off the property! 
  • Virtual: The virtual option will be just as fun! You will be asked to ZOOM in for the kick-off and asked to go to a central location in your town. This allows people all over to participate! 

 

SOCIAL DISTANCING GUIDELINES: Your safety and health is our first priority! To ensure that everyone is safe we have 3 back up plans to account for numbers of people, weather and circumstances. 

  • Participants must wear masks if they are within 6 feet of others.
  • Masks must be carried on your body at all times throughout the scavenger hunt. 
  • We will abide by the rules of social gatherings in the state of Massachusetts and may have two separate meeting locations if we get a high volume of participants. To be clear, we want as many people as possible! 
  • We have included a virtual option to make sure everyone is comfortable and still having fun. 

 

Frequently Asked questions?!

 

Are there modifications, what if I can’t run far?

ALWAYS! You can walk, jog, run or bike! Your Coaches are always available to help you scale with individualized concerns. 

 

Is there an RX version? YES! Create and carry a ruck or odd object with you the entire time to complete the RX version of this challenge. 

 

What will we do if it is raining?

We have a backup date if the weather is bad! TBD as time get’s closer.

 

What if I want to do this as a family unit?

 

Will there be an after-party like there usually is? Yes and no. We won’t be gathering after as we have in years passed but we do encourage you to bring a brown bag brunch and beverages to enjoy in a socially distanced manner outside after the workout. 

 

How many challenges will there be?  The goal is to complete as many tasks as possible for the given time frame. You will notice that all tasks will be allotted a point value based on the distance to get there and difficulty. We will include a lot of tasks so you have options and can prioritize what works best for you and your teammate! 

 

Is there a time limit? Yes! You will get all of this information when you arrive for the event. We can tell you it will take anywhere from 90 minutes to 2.5 hours. 

Where do we park?  Upon arrival, you will see designated parking with cones. We will also post photos and explanations of the parking logistics closer to the day of. 

 

Will there be a place for me to leave my things? No. We ask you to keep everything in the car during the challenge so we can effectively practice social distancing and maximize the use of space in the parking lot. 

 

What is the latest we can sign-up? We ask that everyone signs up sooner rather than later so we can appropriately plan and ensure social distance measures are in place.
