For any other people who are interested in what we have tried to do for this event. This Games day is based on The Game. Click on the link, and you will see that it is basically a high level puzzle solving game. For a first time effort from all of you, kudos on a extremely fine effort.
There are 3 factors that elevated the event today even above the usual The Game format.
1. It is a coorperative game. Clues taken along different routes are interlinked so that all groups are dependent on one another to solve the entire 60 location puzzle. This is only possible because of the participation from many presbyterian churches.
2. Though later versions of The Game has become increasingly IT based, being one of the latest version means that we get to hide even more clues in the cyberspace. So blogs, web comics, photo albums, networking sites, MSN etc were utilised.
3. This event was done in love. Sacrifices from both organizers and participants were made because we believe in giving so that all may receive. And like all acts of love, I hope the good will can continue to multiply in the future of our Presbyterian unity.

we're at our second last station now. really havent had time to update.
we're now at admiralty 888 trying to solve our last clue. details of previous stations:
Fourth Stop
Venue: Woodlands Town Garden, at the play ground with 3 primary coloured pillars
Task: We found our clue under the sand and was given a whole list of scientific names of stuff, like kanchanjunga rachyass. we asked for a hint (with 10 minute penalty) and we were told to find the layman terms for each item on the list (that weird word means yeti btw). at the end after much deliberation, we took the first letters of each word:
L T A R Y I M D A, which was re-arranged to from admiralty. one of the words was "airdrome in arcadia", which was the name of the first macs restaurant. so we headed down to admiralty macs.
Fifth Station
Venue: Admiralty Macs
Task: we played texas hold em' with 3 cards faced down. we were tasked to figure the identities of the 3 cards. after many rounds, the 3 face down cards were 888, and here we are at 888 now!
Codeword: Lawyer
all the best to every team out there. TEAM FAITH FTW!!

team D first station
codeword: ghost
location: sembawang MRT bicycle stand
storyline:
You find yourself at the bicycles rack next to an MRT station. It probably surprises you that so many people actually cycle to the MRT station from their homes. The bicycle as a means of transport is usually associated with the lower income families, those who can afford will own cars. Alas, art is usually seen as an upper-class activity.
For example, the palaces of Versailles or the Hermitage in St. Petersburg with their vast collections of art, amassed by the fabulously wealthy royalty of Europe exemplify this view. Collecting such art is the preserve of the rich, or of governments and institutions.
"However, I feel strongly that art should be enjoyed by all, regardless of status or wealth. Once you have found me, I intend to introduce art to the less privileged as well. Come on, hurry with your next clue.
next clue:
3 pieces:
1. small white base
2. yishun stadium
3. near carpark 1

A request
Ask your fellow church friends who are not group leaders but playing in the games day to bring along cameras or videocam if they want to record this once in a lifetime event.
If one of you would bring along a bible, it might come in handy. Just saying.

hello world!
I'm probably the last group leader to introduce myself... My apologies, but I've been in a jungle for the past week...
Right now, I'm busy trying to digest the flood of information that's been going on for the past week... so I'd better end here and get started on the reading.
See you guys tmr!

The Legendary Synod Youth Council
The ten met for the last time in the sanctuary of their headquarters, a sanctuary that was fast disintegrating.
“We have no more time. We cannot afford to stay here any longer. We have to leave now.” One among them spoke.
The ten looked at each other, their secret utmost in their minds.
“We will protect it at all costs, whatever the price. This is our legacy.”
He spoke fast. “We will use our talents. One each. We will create a trail, one that will enable those that come after us to uncover the secret. This way, we will never be lost. I believe that one day, someone will follow our trails, piece together the puzzle and uncover the truth. Then we shall be able to return.”
The ten agreed.
Ten Men. One heritage.
Ten talents. One legacy.
Talents. Gifts. Only one each but abundant as a group. Quickly, each used their talents to create a trail that when pieced together, would lead to the ultimate discovery.
History
Theology
Food
Art
Health
Science
Photography
Music
Bible
Literature
Ten as diverse as can be. Yet each cannot stand alone. Only the unity of ten would bring about the truth, as it has been, as it should be.
With that, they came together for the last time and put their hands together. Eyes closed, they felt each other’s faith, each other’s passion, each other’s hope.
One last grip of hands. One last nod at each other.
They separated. One in each direction. Ten shadows radiated outwards from a common center, all moving too fast for anything more than a glance at them. The sanctuary collapsed. They continued moving away, away from each other, away from their land, away from their legacy. However, they believed that the trails they left behind would more than suffice in protecting their secret from the undeserving and in leading the deserving to the truth. They just had to bide their time and wait for the day where they can come together again in all their glory.
One day there will rise a group brave enough to restore the Christian truth.
One day they will see their legacy uncovered.
One day they will return in triumph.

Information 1
Hi people, in case you haven't figured it out, all of you are in the same team. This is Team One Faith. As a team of 80-100 members, you are subdivided into 10 groups to go on 10 different trails. This is the official blog for you to communicate with one another. You are FORBIDDEN to peek/read/google at the official blogs of the other two teams One Spirit and One Body.
What do you do:
1. Upon receiving clue, blog inside here all important information.
2. Upon solving clue, blog inside here how you solved your clue.
3. Upon reaching the next location, blog inside here your experiences there.
Therefore:
1. You are dependent on the information provided here you help solve your clues. The information you provide here will help other fellow groups in your team to solve their clues. It is a cooperative game.
2. In your free time, if there is any, mark the progress of other groups in your team, and help them solve their clues if you can, if they cannot progress fast enough, they might hamper your own progress.
3. Answer questions here that other teams might need with regards to information that might help them in their clue solving. This means you should always read up comments on your entries.
Hence:
1. Proper labeling and titles is very important. Entries by your group should be group A or B, etc. Locations should be stated clearly in the title, e.g. B3 or J5 or H1 depending on which stage of the game your group is currently at.
2. Make sure your entire group participate. Every clue should be a 80-100 players solving exercise, not just a single group effort. With such a big group, no trivia is impossible.
3. Have Fun!!!
