Attention *ALL* Dangerdogz - Another "out of the box" idea from Friar - Dogz "Xmas Party"

[Friar]

Ok Chaps, listen up. I have had another of my, sometimes, wild and "out of the box" ideas. 

I have had an idea for a "Virtual Christmas Party" get together to get as many Dogz in the same place at the same time as possible.

My idea takes the form of "Treasure Hunt".

Two teams on Discord (using this for possible option of pilot to stream their flight back to the team) will be given clues to locations on one of our DCS maps, (probably Normandy).

PLEASE DO NOT STOP READING IF YOU DO NOT HAVE DCS - ITS NOT REQUIRED FOR THIS EVENT, PLEASE READ ON...

Each team will have a single helicopter pilot (Huey?-I think enough people have this module?) and a co-pilot (who must also have Combined Arms which can be downloaded on a free two week trial)

The rest of the team members do not need the map or a helicopter or even DCS!

Their job is to act as clue solvers (the clue leads to a hidden location) using the power of the internet and research and then feed back the location to their pilot to direct them to the next clue location. Once the pilot lands at where the team thinks they should be the co-pilot will exit the helicopter and be given a Willeys Jeep to drive to the "exact" clue location. Once they have arrived at the correct location, they will be given another clue for the next location and so on.

Both teams (probably on separate routes) must race to the final same clue location to claim the final prize and victory.

This idea has been inspired by a late eighties British TV programme (which was its self taken from a French TV idea) called "Treasure Hunt" (hopefully you can see the link to a sample TV episode below to get the idea of what I am trying to do)

What do you think? Have I left the lid of the glue tin again or does this have some merit?

I would probably suggest we try and run it on a latish Sunday evening UK time to try and suit as many time zones as possible. 

I have not started building the clues yet but am thinking the event should last about 90 minutes or so?

If you think it does sound like a "goer" please let me know in a post below and if you would like to take part.

I'm up to give this a go Col.

@DD_Fenrir - Thanks Sir.

I will be using some nice "crossword" style clues to locations, so if that is your thing, get signed up!
