Photo Quest 2006

     On Saturday, August 19, 2006, the Varsity Volleyball team was given the following team-building activity entitled Photo Quest 2006.  They were given a camera and had to obtain a photo for as many of the 18 situations they were presented with as possible.  Each photo was worth 100 points and numerous bonus points were possible as well.  The team was to earn as high a score as possible. 

     The team was given two hours with which to complete their Photo Quest.  If they finished before the two hours had expired, they earned bonus points (3 points per minute) and if they were late they were penalized points (3 points per minute). 

     The team finished their quest in 1:41 thus earning them 57 bonus points.   Their final score was a new record of 2717 points!  (The 2000 team had a score of 2340 points and the 2003 team had the old record of 2624 points.)  They did very well and had a great time with their Photo Quest. 

     Listed below are each of the 18 situations the team was presented with.   The photo they took is thumbnailed next to the situation and the points earned for that photo is also listed.  If you wish to see a larger version of the thumbnailed photo, just click on the thumbnail and it will link you to the larger photo. 

     I hope you enjoy looking through Photo Quest 2006!

Hint: I strongly suggest that you enter the establishment where you will obtain the books staggered … one or two at a time. A large group entering at one time will attract management attention! You need to make this a covert operation! Once inside, meet up and quietly and quickly get your picture and then get out of there! Oh yes … be sure to return the books to their original positions! Don’t get in trouble in getting this done!!
