• Do I sign a waiver?
Yes. We’ll provide everything on Quest day during check-in. You may read the waiver here. Active.com, our online registration company, has you sign their separate waiver during online registration. For participants under 18 who are not competing with their parent or guardian, must bring a signed copy of the waiver from their parent or guardian with them when they check in before the quest.

• Can I change my partner?
Yes. Bring your new partner to check-in. We require both of your IDs.

• What’s the best way to take on the Quest if I’ve got a large group of friends or want to participate as part of a group or organization?
Teams can be composed of 2-4 people. If your group size is different from those available, simply break up the registrations to accommodate your size. If your group registers as multiple teams, you may still tackle the Quest challenge together so long as each team completed their clue sheet.  If you have a larger group, please contact us to discuss group discounts.

• If I register as part of a larger team (3 or 4 people) and someone drops out, can we get a partial refund?
You will want to find a replacement person as we only issue refunds on account of severe weather. Be certain the new member brings their ID and checks in with your team on Quest day.
