GAME RULES

HOW the ‘CARMEN SANDIEGO’ GAME WORKS

Teams follow a series of clues hidden in the city to track down the infamous master thief Carmen Sandiego before she escapes with one of Melbourne’s most iconic treasures. The first team to find and arrest Carmen wins the game.

One clue will be given at the start. Players must locate the game characters hidden throughout the city and interact with them. Teams have four hours to complete the game

This game was held before, on August 27 2010 as the ‘Where In Melbourne Is Carmen Sandiego?’ 2010 event. Players who have attended this event will be familiar with the format of the game, but all the clues and locations are entirely new.

Instructions for the game will be explained in full at the Sign-Up / Marshalling Area on the day.

CODE of CONDUCT

All players must adhere to these rules:

• Don’t block footpaths, shop entrances, or anywhere people need to be
• Be EXTREMELY CAREFUL when crossing roads and moving around traffic. This is a race through the city and it’s potentially hazardous. Please take very good care of your team mates!
• Behave with honour, courtesy and respect towards each other. If we don’t behave well our game will be shut down and we’ll never get to host another one. Everything we do during the game will reflect on everyone involved with, playing, and organising the game.
• Please be very kind and reasonably quiet when entering any shops or resturants during the game. Venues that have very generously let us enter their premises as part of the game are trusting that while we are running around being detectives and gangsters we will not interrupt  their business or disturb their customers.

Any player who behaves in a disruptive, antisocial, or dangerous manner will get their whole team dishonourably discharged from the ACME Detective Agency and may be banned from future events.
