Required Items
* All teams will be provided data cards for the day. 1 card per team. These are USB cellular data cards with SPRINT service. Documentation Here. Drivers & Software Here.
* Laptop(s). You will need a working laptop throughout the entire 6-8 hour game! We strongly recommend either 2 laptops or extra batteries. Bring power cords! In testing, even new laptops drained within 3 hours - less than half of the way through the game. Data cards drain laptop batteries significantly faster than usual.
* Flashlight.
* Digital camera.
* Compact disk [CD - any CD]
* MTA MetroCard (1-2 rides)
* Pack of playing cards
* Comfortable shoes are a must. Expect to walk/run at least 5 miles.
* IDs for all team members, who want to go to the afterparty - entrance only for 21+.
* Cars are highly discouraged. This game will be in a small geographic area with very high traffic. You will hate yourself if you bring a car. That said, like masochism, its not prohibited...

Where / When / Who / How
WHERE:
Meet at the South Street Seaport. Near the "Peking" there are benches, we'll be near them. There is public WiFi there as well as food establishments for breakfast.
The game area for this game is the Lower East Side. Color maps will be provided on site - you can also have your own.
Perimeter of the Game Area
WHEN:
The game will begin at exactly 1pm (1pm is the final start time). Due to the number of players and teams in this game, the start time is not flexible. At 11am, 2 hours before, the organizers will be available at the meeting location to help team captains/leaders to set up their laptops with data cards. Only the captain with laptop must be present at the Seaport. If you wish to have your team be located elsewhere at 1pm, that is fine. We will also help with any registration issues and help any single players find teams or captains they can play with.
All captains should be at the Seaport no later than 12:30 to handle administrative/technical issues!
WHO:
Anybody can play this game, no prior Encounter experience is required. The game will be played 99% in English. :)
HOW:
For all registered players who are in registered teams, at 1pm on 9/21 a link will appear on the front page of this website to join the game. Click that link to get your first assignment. Follow the instructions to complete the level and locate the answer code - then enter it into the website via your laptop. You will get the next assignment and so on.
The game will contain many levels and will last between 6 - 8 hours, depending on how quick your team is. Please ensure you have all the required items to play. If you have any questions, Send us an email!
This game is sponsored by a grant from COJECO in conjunction with UJA and Marks JCH of Bensonhurst.
