City Chase 2007 participants

Next Saturday City Chase 2008 will be taking place in Vancouver. It is a fun adventure race in which teams of two run around to different stations in the city performing activities. The first team to complete the required number of stations in the fastest time is the winner.

The City Chase is a unique urban adventure that requires participants to exhibit teamwork, resourcefulness, determination and the ability to make decisions on the fly as they search for ChasePoints scattered in unknown locations throughout the city. ChasePoints are designed to test teams with a variety of physical, mental, and otherwise adventurous challenges.

To conquer this 4-6 hour urban event, 2-person teams will run, walk and use public transit to navigate their way throughout the city, while calling family and friends for help, accessing the Internet, and even employing assistance of total strangers. The first team to complete the required ChasePoints and cross the finish line WINS

It is a fun event and great opportunity to get to know your partner. People of all ages participate and alot focus on just enjoying themselves rather than winning. If you aren’t in Vancouver, check the schedule to see if it is coming to your city.

[update] Can’t forget about the Facebook event.

Relevance: Games are fun and teach us socialisation and collaborative skills that are relevant to everyday life.
