Read each challenge carefully and click on any provided links to view helpful pictures, videos, and requirements for each challenge.
Complete as many challenges as you can in the given time frame. Challenges can be completed in any order. Challenges are often designed to bring you together through fun, difficult, or embarrassing experiences, so complete whatever challenges you and your group are comfortable with. Just be sure to create some unforgettable moments and content that your group will cherish forever!
Some challenges may require a few basic supplies to complete them. Figuring out how to obtain these supplies somewhere in the area is part of the strategy so work together and use what you’ve got to get what you need.
Team members need to stay together throughout the adventure, however, if you are all at the same location and searching for an item you can spread out until it is found and then regroup to take the necessary picture/video.
Capture as many team members in your picture or video as possible. When out in the community, teams often ask a kind stranger to take their picture or video so that the entire team can get on film. If it's necessary to have someone on your own team film certain challenges be sure to rotate who that person is so that everyone is actively involved in completing challenges throughout the adventure.
#1: Started and still based here in Stillwater is the Share With Others organization, who sells products to advance the front yard sharing movement such as Little Free Libraries, Little Free Pantries, and much more. The organization is run by family members of Todd Bol, the late founder of the Little Free Library. Anywhere along the way buy one small non-perishable item and then click HERE to see a Sharing Library located here in town. Take your item to this “pantry” and take a picture or video of your team leaving your item in the box for someone in need. As an added hint, you can find this box close to a place you would get some really grand pizza here in town.
#2: Take a video of your team completing the "Paper Airplane Challenge". Basically send some team members to the 2nd level of any building or parking garage and have them toss paper airplanes out into the air in front of them (not just dropping it straight downward). The rest of your team should be on the sidewalk or grass below. Any of your team members at ground level need to catch just one plane before it hits the ground. All team members at ground level can be attempting to catch planes, but only one plane needs to be caught. To watch a team complete this mission successfully click HERE.
#3: Get your team to Teddy Bear Park here in town and find the large rock cliff located along the back edge of the park. Have your team all spread out along the rocks, just slightly above ground level. Create a fun group pose filled with dramatic facial expressions, fear, or adventure. Then have someone take a memorable picture of your team but tell them to snap it so that the ground is not visible in the picture, giving the perspective that your entire team is up on a high cliff.
#4: Today is National Navy Day, which salutes all of the military personnel who have served, both past and present, in the United States Navy. Anywhere around the area find an active Navy military person or a Navy veteran. Then take a video of them watching your entire team doing 10 push-ups or sit-ups at their feet to honor their strength and courage. After you’ve finished recording, spend a few minutes learning more about their time in the service before you depart, as a small gesture of appreciation.
#5: Get to any clothing or apparel store and find two different items with enough in stock that every team member can be wearing the same two items in their own sizes. Then take a fun team picture with everyone wearing those items. For example it may be a wacky shirt, and a pair of shorts. Or maybe some cozy slippers and a large sun hat. As long as everyone is wearing the same exact two items but in their own sizes.
