Show up on June 1 for the Big Idea Challenge!

On June 1 your team will arrive at the Library of Virginia, where you will receive a map, clues, gadgets to help you solve the puzzles and instructions. Use the map and clues to find the location of the puzzles - then use your brains to solve the puzzles. You will have 2 hours to solve as many of the clues as you can finish. Teams will be scored based on the number of clues they solve and the time they arrive at the finish. Fabulously tacky prizes will be awarded to the top teams!

HINT! You can create a pre-game advantage by fundraising, solving virtual puzzles and visiting our sponsors before June 1.

This is a FUN fundraiser, where the more money you raise, the bigger your advantage on June 1. We'll provide all the tools and support you need. And when you raise money, not only will you earn points in the game, you'll qualify for some nifty incentive prizes.

In the weeks leading up to the Big Idea Challenge on June 1, your team will have the chance to complete five online puzzles. They are optional, but completing them correctly will give you an advantage in the Big Idea Challenge, such as a time advantage or a hint. Each puzzle solved earns the team or individual 100 points. Learn more here.

You may need to solve an anagram, de-code a secret message, find a hidden object in a picture, call a phone number, or perform some other task requiring mental agility. You don't have to do the virtual puzzles, but solving these puzzles will give you an advantage on the day of the Big Idea Challenge.

Hints - even the smartest puzzle solvers need them sometimes. We've got them. You'll be able to collect hints by interacting with our sponsors, by raising money or by following us on social media. Once you've registered, you may see hints in your email box as well, so the sooner you sign up, the more hints you'll see!
