If you've
ever participated in a scavenger hunt, you
know the game. You work in teams. Every team is given
a list of tasks and limited time to finish
them. Every completed task equals X points. Use you
combined skills and wits to tackle the challenges and have a
great time doing it. In the Ice Cream Run you will be given
a map of Manhattan and a list of the best Ice cream
& gelato parlors in town. You have maximum 2 hours
to make it to as many locations as possible, scoring
points for each stop. With a
swift foot, a sharp mind and a great appetite, you
might make it to the finish line with a winning score
card and collect one of the magnificent
prizes.

Event Q & A
Q: How many
people can be in a team?
A: 1 to 5 people. If your group is larger than this we will
split you into two teams.
Q: I don't have a team, can I still join?
A: Sure. You can be a team of one, or if you prefer we will
be happy to pair
you up with another group.
Q: How do we get from location to location? Are there any
rules?
A: No rules. You choose the mode of transportation whether
it's taxi, Subway,
or pogo stick.
Q: Which locations are included in the run?
A: Since it is a competition we like to keep the exact
locations of the scavenger
hunt somewhat of a secret ; ) but you can
cheat a little by checking the
sponsor logos above. We will have about
13 locations included in the
run and we promise you will not be
disappointed.
Q: Where are the locations? Are they far apart?
A: Most of the locations are in the East and West Village
Area and several are
walking distance from each other, but
there are also spots in midtown
and downtown that are worth visiting and
that give more points.
You
pick which ones you want to include in your run.
Q: Is there a special order we have to follow?
A: No, it is up to every team to decide which locations to
include in their route
and in which order to visit them.
Q: How are points awarded?
A: You will be
given a Game Ticket, which will be stamped at each
location
by our staff. Every stamp translates to a
certain number of points. To qualify
you will also need to purchase at least one
ice cream cup or cone per team
member during the 2 hour run. If you are
4 in your team, you need to buy
4 ice creams total. You will also get
bonus points for each additional ice
cream you buy.
Q: When and where do we register on the day of the event?
A: Teams will gather between 1:15 and 1:45pm at Garibaldi
Plaza inside
Washington Square Park (see map and
detailed directions at the top of the
page) to receive instructions for
the Run. Please be on time.
The
run starts at 2pm with or without you.
Q: How much time do we have for the Ice Cream Run?
A: The Run starts at 2pm and all teams need to reach the
finish line no later than
4pm. Late comers may be given minus points.
The finish line is same as the
starting point.
Q: How do we know who won?
A: While the teams and their friends relax the event organizers will be tallying up
the
points. When all is figured out, we will announce the teams with the highest
points and hand out the prizes.
Q: Can I invite friends to attend the after party?
A: Sure. Feel free to invite all your friends. We understand
not everybody's cut
out for the scavenger hunt, but many will
enjoy the ice cream tasting
and activities afterwards.
Q: Does it cost anything to attend?
A: Admission to attend the Run and/or the Party is $5 for
children and $10 for
adults.
