So on Friday our program was Dr. Horrible themed scavenger hunt! I can't decide what was more fun, creating and putting the hunt together with Keith or watching our teams take on our challenges!
First we split our teams into the Henchman's Union in the Evil League of Evil (ELE) and the "Hammer Heads"- Captain Hammer's groupies. The mission of the Henchman/ELE was to steal the Wonderflonium before the Hammer Heads could stop them.
The first challenge was a Straw War, each team tried to topple the other's cups using Q-tip torpedos and straws:
When they had toppled all of the other teams cups they could move on to building a free standing (for at least 3 seconds) tower of Jenga blocks.
Once their buildings were complete they saddled up("there's no recourse..") a stick pony and ran outside singing the Bad Horse chorus:
Once outside we had a laundry relay that was pure chaos:
When our laundry was dry and folded, our teams had to solve a riddle.
You stand on one side of a river with Dr. Horrible, Captain Hammer and Penny. You have to get everyone across the river to continue your mission, but you can only take one person with you at a time.
If you leave Dr. Horrible and Captain Hammer on one side of the river while taking Penny across, Captain Hammer will dislocate Dr. Horrible’s shoulder…again, and you can’t take Dr. Horrible across and leave Captain Hammer and Penny together or they might French kiss or something.
How do you get them all across the river without anything bad happening?
Before racing back inside, each team had to recite 5 quotes from Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog (bet you can't guess what the most popular quote was! :P) Once they were back in the library there were more puzzles to solve! First a Hidato puzzle and then an actual puzzle of the dvd cover.
The last major challenge was a quiz about Dr. Horrible's Singalong Blog. All questions had to be answered correctly before the last clue to the Wonderflonium was received.
Once the final clue was handed over, there was a mad dash around the library searching for a box marked "Wonderflonium: Do not Bounce"
And, as in our favorite singalong blog, the would-be evil villains were successful in stealing the Wonderflonium. When the Hammerheads returned from their search they found themselves in the lair of the Evil League of Evil complete with Bad Horse (and Frank J. Brown) residing at the head of the table.
But in the end, good and bad alike got to celebrate with ice cream and singing along to the music of Dr. Horrible.
