YABA5 - FAQ
rules

Can our team split up?

No.  The basic rule of thumb is, your team must be together at all times. You may spread out only if everyone is working on the same clue.

All members of your team must visit all clue sites.  In other words, no fair leaving your slower teammates behind at a cafe to solve clues while your faster members run up to Coit Tower with two-way radios or cell phones.

Can we use mechanical transportation?

You must stay on foot at all times. No rollerblades, unicycles, bicycles, tricycles, Radio Flyers, go-carts, SegWays, windsurfers, cabs, pedicabs, buses, cable cars, horse-drawn carriages, planes, trains or automobiles allowed.

Are phone-a-friends allowed?

Yes, but we don't think they will help too much. We've designed the game to minimize the advantages of "virtual" team members.

What if we finish after the 5:00 pm deadline?

We'll post your score on the web site, but you will not be eligible for team prizes.

Anything else?

Yes, we're big on the spirit of the game. Don't do anything you wouldn't want every other team to know about. Your character is based on what you do when no one else is looking.
