The logistics
Participants will be divided in teams of 10 members each.
The whole event will start from a central place and the teams will be given the scenario of the game.
A map and a booklet, which will contain cultural questions from different sectors and themes, will be given to each team.
During their way they will encounter several stops which will be questions of knowledge, visiting points, places of interest, photo stops. In each stop they will take the pictures required, pass the obstacles and find on spot their answers.
The questions refer to the history of the area, Greek civilization, architecture and culture.
Participants have to plan, decide the fastest route and visit certain places/points. Each place with a photo gives the answer to questions in order to achieve the maximum of points.
The final task will take place in the beach. A relay game for each team. Participants will run on the sand and the time record will be very important.
