Murder Mystery Night Orienteering

May 26, 2013

Scott Appleton was the Race Director/Course Designer/Mystery Author for this year's race. Yay, Scott!

The murder mystery orienteering event took place while the sun was setting on the evening after Too Cool's Spread Your Wings race at Camp Eagle.

Teams had to copy the checkpoint locations from a master map onto their race map, while the clock was running.

Teams then ran to find the various checkpoints. At each location they collected a sheet with clues (and puzzles!) to help solve the murder.
