In a few simple steps you can create a party like no other:
- Invite the Guests

A BOONDOGGLE has three-parts:
- A Course that you’ve designed for teams to follow by solving clues that lead to your secret destinations.
- Loot that teams gather along the way.
- Factoids – trivia questions that each team must answer.

Boondoggle rewards resourcefulness, strategy and speed. Teamwork is key, as people work together in an exhilarating race to the finish.

Boondoggles have been used for birthday parties for kids as well as adults, corporate team-building events, youth group outings, and community fundraisers. Teams can be people of the same age, or mixed, including family teams. This guide lets you customize your Boondoggle your group’s age, interest and ability.
