About Unchained Talent

You are playing for your own entertainment and to benefit Unchained Talent, the youth-driven, performing arts and mentoring program!  Unchained Talent is a nonprofit organization working to bring the performing arts back to the young people in under-resourced Baltimore City schools and communities.  Unchained Talent is a place where young people's voices are heard, giving young people the opportunity to learn life skills as well as to create original music, dance and theatre works in a safe and supportive environment with caring and consistent adult mentors.  Thank you for supporting this important work in Baltimore City!!

 

The Race:  Solve each clue to find the next destination and the next clue, until you come full circle back to the starting location.  The team completing the course in the shortest time (adjusting for penalties and bonuses) wins.

 

The Ground Rules:

  1. Be safe! 
  2. All destinations are inside the Baltimore City limits.
  3. The race will begin and end at the same location.
  4. To begin, your whole team must be present and have completed waivers.
  5. Save each clue and envelope to bring back for verification.
  6. You may use any resources you wish to solve the clues (phone book, maps, cell phone, etc.)
  7. Travel with decorum and be respectful of destinations and their workers/visitors/owners, etc (subtlety = less likely clues will be messed with)
  8. No stealing of clues or hiding the clue envelopes to thwart the other teams!  Interfering with the clue folders will result in disqualification.
  9. If you think there is a problem with the course, please call us on our cell phones.  There is no penalty for reporting (potential) course issues (e.g. missing envelopes/clues, mistakes in the clues, safety concerns).
  10. If you are stumped on a clue, you may call us for a Hint.  However, Hints will cost you a penalty that will be added to your final course time.  On any given Clue, the first Hint will cost 10 minutes, the second 20 minutes, and the third 40 minutes.  You will have one opportunity on the course to earn 15 minutes OFF your time!
  11. Unchained Talent Lifeline: Each team is allowed one phone call / one question to ask of the Unchained Talent student representatives.  There is no time penalty for this call, and there is no guarantee that their answers will be correct!
