YABA5 - FAQ
physical demands

9/5/03 Updates are in red italics

Do we need to be physically fit?

You don't have to be "runner" fit but you should be able to walk several miles.

Can we win if we don't run?

Definitely. Foot speed may be an advantage, but it's only a slight one. The ability to solve clues is much more important.  For example, there's a team of over-40's who regularly finish first or second in the Master's division.

How much ground will we cover?

It will vary from team to team.  You may (for strategy or time reasons) choose to skip clues.  Expect to cover between three and five miles during the course of the game, depending on whether your team solves all of the clues and visits every clue site.

Will we have to climb hills?

We're not going to make you climb a hill just to be mean. But the treasure hunt sector, being in San Francisco, has some hills in it.
