For the duration of camp, each team will be participating in a TIME TRAVEL BATTLE! Think of this as a variation of the game battleship, but with a few twists. Here is how it will work.
Each team will be given one grid, in which they will hide 5 time machines. Each of these is of a different size (5 squares, 4 squares, 3 squares, 3 squares, and 2 squares.) Each team can find their grid in their team’s subforum. You will have 2 days (until July 3rd) to tell me the coordinates of where you wish to hide your time machines. (more instructions on this will be posted in your team's subforum)
After that, the game shall begin.
Each team will be able to shoot their laser (with a maximum of 3 shots in it, so 3 squares on the grid) ONCE per day, in order to try and find the other teams’ time machines. For example, they could send a laser beam to Green Team’s B7 and C5 positions, as well as Purple Team’s G2 positions. I will then assign the team a task to fulfill in order for their laser beam to go through. These tasks can be word jumbles, riddles, logic puzzles, or identification tasks. If you complete the task correctly, I will tell you if your laser hit or miss. The Time Machine maps will be updated in order to help you keep track of where lasers were sent. If you don’t complete the task, that task is in effect until you can successfully complete it. This means that if on day 1 you can’t solve it, the next day you will only be allowed to shoot your laser twice.
Ok… this might all sound a bit complicated, so I will give you an example. The following is an example of a Time Machine Map (each team will have one)
Day 1
Team uses their laser to shoot a beam to positions B3, G7 and H2 in the purple grid
Rosa will reply to your post, or edit it, with your assigned tasks, for example
B3: In what year was Doctor Who created?
G7: Sudoku puzzle to solve (a link to the puzzle would be included)
H2: Logic puzzle to solve
---
Day 2
Team responds with their solutions
Rosa responds with how many they answered correctly, updates the Time Machine Map
Team shoots their laser again, number of shots depends on how many tasks they correctly did. So if the team answered 2 of the tasks correctly, they can shoot their laser twice and obtain 2 new tasks.
This continues for the duration of camp. The goal of course being to destroy all the time machines of the other teams, whilst keeping yours still intact. You can choose to aim all your lasers towards one team, or you can split them amongst the various teams, it is up to you. Each team can shoot their laser only ONCE per day.
