The city spreads out before you. Rushing from point to point, lit by the slow strobe of fluorescent buses and dark streets. Stumbling into situations for a stranger's signature. Fleeing unknown pursuers, breathing hard, admiring the landscape and the multitude of worlds hidden in it.

For one night, drop your relations, your work and leisure activities, and all your usual motives for movement and action, and let yourself be drawn by the attractions of the chase and the encounters you find there.

RUNNER AWARDS

All players to cross the finish line with a complete manifest will recieve a MEDAL OF MERIT.

The first player to arrive at Checkpoint 6 with a complete manifest will receive the RUNNER TROPHY.

The first 3 players to cross the finish line with stamps from all three BONUS checkpoints will recieve a MEDAL OF COURAGE.

CHASER AWARDS

The first 12 Chasers to arrive at Checkpoint 6 with at least one catch (proven by a runner’s blue ribbon) will receive a MEDAL OF VALOR.

At midnight, the Chaser present at Checkpoint 6 with the most catches will receive the CHASER TROPHY.
