A new outdoor game for your events: Misfit Hunts

Spring is already here, and companies are seeking outdoor events. In these challenging economic times, it’s important for people to take a break, have fun outside, and enjoy the sunshine. That’s why we’ve just released our latest game template: Misfits Hunt!

In this game, you’ll solve original riddles and negotiate with others; all while enjoying the outdoors. If you have a Loquiz account, you can run this game and customize it however you like!

Let your players play it!

Each team begins with a few cards in hand (from 3 to 7 cards per team). Scan a card, and a Misfit riddle becomes available. In fact, all the riddles follow the same pattern:

Many cards to scan, many Misfit riddles to solve

Each of the Misfits cards gives a riddle that follows the same pattern. 7 special cards give additional challenge (such as object finder, odometer, etc). In the next paragraph, try to solve one of the numerous riddles from this game!

Example of a Misfit riddle

The plane! Because it doesn’t swim, unlike the subjects of the other pictures.

But these riddles are not the only game mechanics. You might solve all your cards, but you would fall behind in the ranking if you don’t do one thing:

Trading: A winning strategy for the Misfits Hunt

Once you’ve used a card… You can trade it. If you only focus on solving, you’ll never get on top of the leaderboard. However, if you communicate with others and make win-win trades, then you’ll unlock as many Misfit locations as possible… So you’ll earn many more points than others!
