"This was a fantastic voyage, and one we will remember for a long time. You turned us from plainclothes Chicagoans into metronauts, and set us loose upon the city." [Sparrows Fall]

• 1st Place Trophy: player with the most Names at the finish line at midnight
  
• Medals of Courage: first 6 players to reach the finish line with all 12 stamps

All awards hand-made for this event by Urban Archeology Jewelry
except 1st Place Trophy, sculpted by Dax Tran-Caffee.

Players who do not qualify for trophies will, of course, still have acquired a rubber stamp print from each of the Secret locations. Images are unique to the game, designed and carved by Dax Tran-Caffee.

Your identity is your only separation from destitution. Liars, Cheaters and Thieves can take away everything, even your Name, if they catch you. The Architect designs carefully to keep the nameless from using the city, but Secrets can be found in the alleys, the open lots, and the cracks between buildings - the Urchin cannot be excluded forever...

GAME SYNOPSIS

1) Search the city for hidden locations where you can stamp your map. 9 stamps are required to enter the finish line.

2) Steal another player's Name by tagging them. The player who accumulates the most Names before reaching the finish line wins.
