The NYC Ice Cream Run 2008

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.
