Nicosia Street Quest is a fun navigation game based on Orienteering.
Your “Quest” is to navigate to up to 21 location points on the map of Nicosia (within the city walls) and answer a simple non-cryptic question at each location (eg – what is the colour of the door at number 18? How many mannequins in the shop window?). The total time allowed is 60 minutes. There will be 5 penalty point for every minute late back so make sure you are back within an hour from your start time! Each question is worth either 10 20 or 30 points. There is also a BONUS Question worth 50 points. Maximum score you can achieve is 400 points. Points at each event are accumulative and there will be an overall season winner and winning team at the end of the year!
You will need a pen to mark your answers on the question sheet. You are advised to wear comfortable walking/running shoes and light coloured clothing (ideally reflective) for extra visibility. A small torch may be useful to assist your eyesight when reading the map. Individuals and teams of up to four people will be permitted. Points will be shared equally among team members. Children under twelve must be accompanied by an adult. All participants take part at their own risk. The organiser’s decisions are final.
Registration opens at 1730 hrs and closes at 1845 hrs. Start times will be available from 1730 hrs. Last start time will be 1900 hrs. Entry fees are €2 per person. Maps and question sheets will be provided at the start.
PRIZES: prizes will be given to the first individual and the first team of each event.
