Go To High School Go To College Adventure Hunt

#1: Get to any open area outside of World of Beer, the best place around for a warm twisted pretzel. Once there, gather your group and any additional strangers (or another team) to create a group of at least 6 total people and an even number of participants. Once your group is formed, take a video completing the “Human Pretzel Challenge” while the World of Beer logo is in the background. To watch a video about how to complete the Human Pretzel (or Human Knot) Challenge click HERE. To improve your chances of success, don’t grab the hands of either person right next to you and make sure you have the hands of two different people. After you’ve successfully completed the challenge if you’d like a free pretzel head into the World of Beer and check in on Facebook!

#2: Located somewhere around the area, find the bronze footprints embedded in the ground (shown HERE) teaching passersby how to do the Cha Cha. Once found, take a video of each of your team members working with a partner to follow the steps to music. Have someone play the Cha Cha music found HERE on one device so the dancers can hear it, and then use a separate device to record everyone’s moves.

#3: Take a video of your team all attempting the Knee Drink Challenge. Each member of your team should have their own full and opened bottle of water (standard 16 ounce bottle is best). Sit down on the ground with feet flat and knees bent upwards and place the bottle of water in between your knees. Then lean back so that your elbows and forearms are on the ground on either side of you. Carefully tip your knees and the bottle of water towards your chest so that the top of it rotates down towards you and you can attempt to put your mouth over the opening. Then drink from the bottle as best you can for 5 consecutive seconds. To view an example picture and video of people performing this challenge click HERE. Remaining dry is certainly not a requirement to completing this challenge successfully.

#4: Take a video of at least half of your team members all consuming separate spoonfuls of any brand of hot sauce. So if your team has 5 members at least 3 of them will need to each consume a spoonful of hot sauce. Make sure to show the bottle or packet of hot sauce in the video so it can be confirmed that it's actually hot sauce you're consuming.

#5: Today is Constitution Day, which commemorates the formation and signing of the constitution on September 17th, 1787. Everyone knows the first three words of the Constitution’s introductory statement, known as the preamble. But for this challenge you’ll need to work together as a team to collectively recite the entire preamble. First, find an American flag flying anywhere around the area and then record a video with the flag in the background and each team member taking turns saying the words of the preamble, in proper order, and from memory. For example team member #1 says “We”, then team member #2 says “the", then team member #3 says “People”, and so on until the entire statement has been recited from memory. Work together as a team and practice along the way so that you say it as quickly and smoothly as possible during the recording. As a helpful reference here is the full preamble: "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

#6: The NFL season has kicked off and the Texans are undefeated and in 1st place! To see whether your group has the grit and teamwork needed to make it in the NFL get to “Sam’s Boat”, the best sports bar around for watching the action. Along the way, create a regulation paper football using one sheet of paper. To learn how to make one you can click HERE. Once you’ve created it and you’re somewhere near Sam’s Boat (either on site or it’s visible in the background) take a video of a team member placing the football on a hard surface roughly waist high (a table works well). Then have them “flick” it up into the air and another person who is standing at least 6 feet away catches the flicked football in a standard drinking glass or plastic cup. To watch a video of two people successfully completing this challenge click HERE.

#7: On any soft surface take a video of any ONE team member successfully completing the Knee Dip Challenge. Basically, while standing, bend one leg behind you and hold onto your ankle. Then carefully lower yourself to the ground so that your bent knee touches the ground and then stand back up to a standing position without letting go of your ankle, falling over, or allowing any other body part to touch the ground other than the knee on the bent leg you're holding. All team members can attempt the challenge but only one needs to complete it. To watch a video of someone successfully completing this challenge click HERE.

#8: September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. To honor kids everywhere that are fighting cancer, take a team picture showing off your hands once every member of your team has gotten their fingernails painted gold (the international color for childhood cancer awareness) using real nail polish. An alternative to having YOUR nails painted is taking a team picture with a stranger that has their nails already painted gold OR convincing someone who is walking into Lux Nail Spa to get their nails painted gold and taking a fun picture with them afterwards. This challenge is in honor of the ACCO's "Pedi-Cure" program. You can learn more about it by clicking HERE.

#9: Anywhere around the area take a fun team picture posing like a bunch of fierce dogs growling, while two actual dogs are with you in the picture. Finding one dog might be easy but convincing that owner to walk around with you until you find a second one could be challenging.

#10: Take a video of your team completing "Stop, Drop, and Roll" while any regulation/operable fire extinguisher is visible in the background. Be sure to yell each step of the fire safety technique as you all do it together and make sure the extinguisher is clearly visible at some point in your video.

#11: Take a video of any two team members both successfully completing the “Bottle Flip Challenge” at exactly the same time. Basically, take a video of both members each flipping their own standard (16 ounces or so) bottle of water onto a hard surface, and getting it to successfully remain standing upright once it lands. The bottle can be filled with as much water as needed to improve your chances of completing the challenge successfully. What will make this challenge difficult is getting both people to make a successful flip on the same attempt. If one of you fails, encourage them and both try again. To watch a video of two people successfully completing this challenge together click HERE.

#12: Find any two strangers around the area wearing cowboy hats or cowboy boots. You could also find one wearing a hat and one wearing boots but both strangers would need to be wearing one of the required items. Once you’ve found them, take a video of your team all singing the first line of the classic 1941 song "Deep in the Heart of Texas", and then have the two strangers respond accordingly (with clapping and singing)! To see an example of this song being sung successfully click HERE. Sing it loud and proud and encourage your Texas loving strangers to do the same.

#13: Yesterday was National Tattoo Story Day (it’s true, look it up). Take a video of your team and any stranger that has a tattoo while they explain what that tattoo means to them. The tattoo must be visible at some point during the video.

#14: This challenge will require you to take one video and one picture. Find anyone not from your group whose name could commonly be shortened to “Jack”. Acceptable names include Jack, John (any spelling), James, or Jacob. Once you’ve found him take a video of your team and “Jack” all doing 10 jumping jacks together. Then also take a close up picture of “Jack’s” ID to prove that his given name is one of the accepted ones above. He can cover his personal information as long as the picture shows his name.

#15: Take a team picture with any parked vehicle that has an out of state license plate and contains numerical digits that add up to 10, no more, no less. So if the plate were out of state and "CF2H 5K3" it would be acceptable because those numbers add up to 10 and there aren't any additional numbers.

#16: Get to any public sidewalk that has a decent amount of foot traffic throughout the day. Using sidewalk chalk, write the open ended phrase “Advice For College Students…” and then create a numbered list below it with at least 5 numbered spaces. Find at least one stranger to contribute to your list and then take a team picture with them and their advice in the background. Then leave the chalk on the sidewalk next to your thought provoking artwork so that other passersby can reflect on your question and answer it themselves. Check back in later in the day to see what others have added.
