Welcome to the Atitlan scavenger hunt!
Rules
Each team will be given a bill of 100 Quetzales on the first day.
Teams will take the money and complete as many of the listed activities as possible by 4:00 pm on the first day; each item found or activity completed has a point value that will be tallied at the end of the first hunt day. A small prize will be awarded to the family with the most points. However... that is just the beginning! Every week, additional tasks will be added to this page. At the end of the program, we will tally and announce the main prize winners!
Day 1: the hunt ends at 4:00 pm at the accommodations. Teams that arrive early will be docked 5 points for every minute that they are early. Teams that arrive late will be docked 10 points for every minute past 4:00 pm.
Photos are to be replicated as identically as possible. The angle of the photos matters. Take the photos from the same angle they were taken from when you put this hunt together!
The Photos of different Tortilla Signs are all worth 10 points, and you can take as many as you want, as long as they are different signs.
On day 1: Every Quetzal brought back as change is worth 5 points!
