How to play
- Pick a safe park, campus, trail, or neighborhood route with no risky road crossings.
- Create 5 to 8 light photo prompts such as bench, bridge, mural, fountain, team in motion, or best route view.
- Set a time limit and route boundary before anyone starts.
- Teams walk or jog together and only count a prompt when the full team reaches the checkpoint.
- Keep photos simple: no private property, strangers, unsafe poses, or blocking paths.
- First team to complete the list wins, or score the most completed prompts when time expires.
What counts?
A result counts when it matches the main rule: Walk-and-Talk Photo Quest: safe route, light photo prompts, whole team stays together. Finish the list or score most prompts. Use this scoring agreement for close calls: first team to complete every prompt wins. Do not count attempts that break the setup, happen outside the agreed space, or depend on a call the group cannot agree on.
How to win
Quick mode: first team to complete every prompt wins. Timed mode: most completed prompts after 20 minutes wins. Group mode: first team to complete every prompt wins.
