Starting Point

Show up to Northgate Station by 1:00pm. Parking is available at this park and ride location, though this tends to be a popular park and ride garage, and you'll have to backtrack all the way back here from the ending point, so you may wish to park downtown instead at the Amazon Spheres and take the Link 1 Line over to Northgate Station. The rules will be explained and participants will have the opportunity to ask clarifying questions to the organizers before the game starts. You will also have the chance to meet your team and discuss basic strategy. The game will begin when everyone is present and the organizers announce the start. Take your time or hurry up. The choice is yours; don’t be late!

One member of your team should be designated as the primary representative, who will be responsible for communicating with the organizers.

Ending Point

The ending point will be Hing Hay Park in Chinatown.
