Conquer Queenstown

Summary

The ultimate goal for your team is to work as a champion team to be the first to solve the Conquer Queenstown Word Puzzle.

Your team will work together as you traverse the various icons of lakeside, downtown Queenstown, locating and solving Amazing Race style activities.

The multiple activities will each yield a CQClue! in the form of jumbled words, Sudoku or secret signage, that your team must unravel to insert into the word puzzle. The puzzle has highlighted fields that are the key to the ultimate word that will stop the clock.

Teamwork is key. Conquer Queenstown is structured such that you will be faster operating as a cohesive, communicative and clever TEAM. Be powerful and have fun by including every member.
All team members must be present at each challenge before the next instruction is handed out.
To win Conquer Queenstown you’ll need both BRAINS and BRAWN. Teams will be rewarded for cleverness and lateral thinking by finding the occasional short-cut.
Be strategic.
What order should you do them in? (they can be done in any order)
Do any of them have time constraints?
Do you need to book for any of them?...
How do you play to each team-member’s strengths?
Be back on time, 10 points deducted for every minute late.

To win:

Be the quickest team to decode the answers you’ve gathered during CQ adventure, in order to solve the crossword, and thus reveal the CQ Key word from the marked zones on the crossword.
