SCHEDULE
7 WEEKS - 14 EVENTS
Every week (on the day of the season you selected) for 7 consecutive weeks we will gather together as a group of awkward adults in an abandoned park and leave it with electric energy as reborn again kids ready to take on adult life once again.
WEEK 1
KICKBALL
[SPORT]
Kick It. Run It. Catch It. Hit It. You know it. You love it. Teams sweat it out on the dirt and grass to see who is king of the giant rubber ball?
AVERAGE FEUD
[GAME]
Our version of the laugh out loud hair pulling game Family Feud (teams try to guess the most popular answer), except we’re not family, yet. So “Almost Family Feud”.
WEEK 2
PICKLEBALL
[SPORT]
The fastest growing activity just got a whole lot more fun.
PUZZLE ME NUTS
[GAME]
You and your team will have to solve a variety of different puzzles over 3 rounds.
WEEK 3
DISC GOLF (& RUN)
[SPORT]
Control your disc and body to throw your way to victory in this infectiously fun sport. Only thing different in our version is the pole instead of the cage. The way it use to be.
ADVENTURE QUEST
[GAME]
An epic scavenger hunt running relay that combines the art of a run with the adventure of problem solving. So much fun!
WEEK 4
VOLLEYBALL
[SPORT]
Hit it, spike it, bunt it, whatever you like. Just make sure to get it over the net!
TRIVIA
[GAME]
We take a break, no pun intended this week from typical games played at a bar/restaurant for a classic game of solids & stripes Just like the sports, we will play a multi-game tournament with each team consisting of multiple doubles partners.
WEEK 5
BILLIARDS
[SPORT]
We take a break, no pun intended this week from typical games played at a bar/restaurant for a classic game of solids & stripes Just like the sports, we will play a multi-game tournament with each team consisting of multiple doubles partners.

[GAME]
Who did it? With What? And Where? Teams race to find the suspects, clues, and be the first to solve the crime.

Here’s hoping we can save our fingers typing up this one. If you don’t know what/how to play Fútbol aka Soccer, probably best to sit this one out.
MATCH GAME
[GAME]
Hasn't been on tv in decades, but it's worth a re-run. Teams have to try to predict each other’s answers to hilarious scenarios.
WEEK 7
LAWN TARGET RELAY
[SPORT]
Another of our creations. This relay race combines several different target 'lawn' games that is great for the whole team.

BAKE OFF
[GAME]
If we're gonna have a party, we need snacks. Just like above teams are given the ‘Bake Off' rules and will have 6 weeks to prep & make, with everyone acting as judges.
PARTY
At the end of each season victors are awarded, bragging rights served, snacks are eaten, and everyone has a good time celebrating at least a few hours offline with no AI or other adulting things.
