Teams of four will depart the Mill Room every 30 minutes and follow a series of clues to both hidden and well known Asheville locations. At each location, a team member must complete a specific task before receiving their next clue (each team member will complete two tasks). After a team completes its eighth task they will make their way back to the Mill Room for their final task. After that is completed they check in and receive their time. Teams will check in and receive clues via Twitter so each team must have a Twitter handle that will be their team name. The use of smart phones is not only allowed but highly encouraged.
