Field Day FAQs
What should I expect?
We have planned about 7 different activities that consist of games you may recognize from your childhood, to game show reimaginations, and some of our own creations. Everything is crafted so you’ll have a blast no matter your age, abilities or preferred physical activity level!
Will the event be physically demanding?
On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being totally non-physical and 10 being a challenging workout class, this field day will be around a 4 or 5. There are a couple of games that will allow some of your teammates to show off their athleticism (although not required by all players), but most will be very mild in terms of physical activity, and some are purely mental challenges.
What should I wear?
Any athleisure or comfortable clothes and shoes that you wouldn’t mind running around in.
What games will we play?
Expect a variety! Here are a few you might see:
Battlechips – Protect your own chip and prevent it from hitting the ground while simultaneously trying to knock down the opposing players’ chips
Bird’s Nest – Be the first team to accumulate five cones in the fast-paced, relay-style event with a twist on a childhood staple
Clue Minefield – Work with your team to solve a puzzle using clues scattered all over the field
Blind Maze – Move your team through a course one at a time by stepping in various checkpoints – all while blindfolded
Pong Feud – A mashup of tailgating staple, Beer Pong and the TV game show, Family Feud
Showdown – Work as a team to outsmart the other teams and show off your music knowledge
